| Greetings! | 
For the past few newsletters I've been writing about how to create a character and how to let that character "Do the work." Today we'll finish that four part series.
More about "The Character" - Which "Slice of the Pie?"
Okay, now we've put together the main ingredients to make your P.I.E. - your character's Physical, Intellectual, & Emotional history. And like any other pie, it's a combination of those ingredients that make it work - make people want more. No one part can stand alone; they all work in harmony. For example, suppose you (again, the character) have a terrible scar on your face. Not only does that affect you physically, but also emotionally. Every time some one gives you more than just a glance, you may think, "Oh, they're staring at my scar." If you only have an elementary school education and you're in a room full of PhD. professors whose language and comments you can barely understand, don't you think you might feel inadequate or out of place? That may very well also affect you physically, in your posture. So as you can see, we don't just have a history, but a network of histories, which are interconnected and affect each other. You just need to see which "slice of the pie" gets used at the moment. It isn't something you necessarily need to decide at the moment, but if you've done your character work your subconscious will just do it automatically. Give these things some thought on your next audition, and see if it doesn't help you "bring the character" to your performance.Break a leg! (Hmmm . . . that would be part of my physical history . . .) But now, a word from our sponsors, and some news.

New Start Date for the Alpha Character Technique Class Saturday Feb.19
| |
This Saturday, February 26, is the last day we'll be accepting enrollments for this class.
Charlie Holliday has had more than a hundred movie and TV auditions. Come learn the techniques that have landed him dozens of roles in major films and TV shows.
THE MOSAIC ACTING ACADEMY
Voted Sacramento's Outstanding Training Resource for Actors
PRESENTS "ALPHA COLD-READING TECHNIQUE" SATURDAYS FROM 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 12
It's Simple . . . Good Cold-Readers get the job!
There are two skills and actor must learn in order to work in movies and TV - Cold Reading and Improvisation. Unlike Theater auditions, which often request monologues, Movie and TV auditions don't generally use prepared memorized material. In this class you will learn a technique of the Mosaic Acting System that allows you to use the subjective mind to quickly create a character with depth and substance, rather than just trying to "learn the words". These same tools can then be used to create a character for Screen, Stage or any type of performance. As the class progresses, we cover cold reading and audition techniques, as well as scene and monologue work. As the class size is limited to a minimum of 8 and maximum of 12 new students, pre-registration by the Monday before the class is required. This class will be presented on four consecutive Saturdays from 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM. Tuition is $300, and includes an audio CD. (Repeat fee for prior students $200) To register, send your minimum $150 deposit to: Charlie Holliday, PO Box 1142, Rancho Cordova, CA 95741-1142, or to register with your Credit Card or PayPal account click here or you may call 916.361.0952, or send your $150 deposit to:
Charlie Holliday, P.O. Box 1142, Rancho Cordova, CA 95741-1142

About choosing a class . . .
Although tuition for Charlie's classes at the Mosaic Acting studio is very reasonable, when deciding whom you want to study with there are a lot more things to consider than just the price. The first thing I do is look up the instructor on IMDb.com. That will tell me what they have actually done. Do their credits consist of a couple of independent films that they wrote and/or directed? Have they only been in "kid shows" on Nickelodeon or Disney? Is their background only in theater? I want to work with someone who has worked with major directors and has appeared with "A list" actors. There is a reason why Charlie Holliday has been voted Sacramento's Outstanding Training Resource for Actors time after time.

From a Mosaic Acting Academy Student and Working Actress ...
|
I recently made the switch to
working in the Sac/SF area to the LA scene. I had taken classes from
local teachers and had gotten tons of feeback about what to expect and
strategies to use when I got to LA. However, with one exception, the
advice that I got from people up here were just plain WRONG! Perhaps
they have worked in this business in the past, but in the acting
business (just like any technology) changes happen fast.The
one exception was Charlie Holliday. It pays to get advice from an actor
with so much recent experience in Hollywood. All of his advice turned
out to be right on the money. LA is a big and expensive move to make.
Save yourself time, money and frustration by taking Charlie's classes.
He's a pro and a wealth of information. He'll give you good, solid,
up-to-date information that you can use. - Heather Pier

 Mosaic Acting "Gear"

 People have been asking where to get the MOSAIC ACTING clothing articles with the beautifully embroidered logo I've been wearing - polo shirts, long sleeved Tees, hats, jackets, etc.
I get them from a company called Queensboro. If you'd like to order something, go to the Queensboro web site and check them out. When you find what you want, email the
article number and color selection and size you want to me and I'll put
together an order as soon as four of you give me payment for the
items. (I'll pay the shipping charges for you.) You can mix and match
items, and there's no minimum order for you. Give me a call or email
if you have any questions. Thanks,
Charlie |
