Joe Bishara Acting Studio

My private acting classes are centered around students learning acting skills specifically in order to perform monologues, scene-work and cold-readings fully and spontaneously. Great attention will be paid to making your whole acting package professional, positive and effective.

I ask my students lot of questions. In order for each student to truly connect with the text/lyrics and the character, the answers to the truth of the text/lyric must be theirs  - not mine. If students feels more comfortable signing, we will use their musical knowledge of rhythm and dynamics and pull upon that to accentuate their “straight” acting for the monologues. 

Be prepared to identify to the teacher what it is you want to accomplish by taking acting lessons.  Milestones are important and keep both the student and and the teacher on-task.
