The Final Cut: Advanced Acting for Film & TV
Ages 9-17 | Youth & Teen Classes | Level: Advanced

At DBFAA, our 'Final Cut' class offers young actors hands-on training that sets them apart. This 10-week course builds a strong foundation while introducing advanced techniques to prepare students for auditions and professional acting roles.

 

What You'll Learn:

​

  • Advanced On-Set Simulation:

Master multi-camera setups, and blocking, all while working with professional-grade camera crews to prepare for film and TV shoots.

  • Professional Networking Opportunities:
Learn from guest directors and industry professionals, gaining insights into what casting agents and directors look for in auditions.​​​
  • Mock Audition Mastery:
Experience real-world audition scenarios with immediate feedback, helping you refine your audition techniques and camera presence.
  • Polished Demo Reels:

All students will film professionally lit and directed scenes for their demo reels, ready for industry evaluation. Top-scoring students will film on set with a full production crew.

  • Advanced Character Immersion: 

Dive deeper into complex character work with Dominique Becton's Soul-Centered + Stanislavsky Method and maintain character journals to fully explore your role's emotional depth​

This class provides the tools you need to succeed on set, offering both technical skills and emotional depth for a comprehensive experience​.​
