I have had a ton of acting training, and honestly as an actor you will never stop learning when it comes to your craft, but I want to know where is a great place to take on camera technique classes. I went to Actors Certified Training today and they are amazing....but way way way out of my price range.

Suggestions?

Actors Cetified Training is a joke.

I don't think A.C.T. is worth it. The cost is ridiculous. The owner, Tim Lampros, says he's a director when he's only documented to be a set medic.

This is worthless as far as booking the job. I have yet to go to an audition where they have a cut out car, simulated weather effects, etc.

You can learn set ettiquette, finding your mark, working in simulated weather conditions etc. and GET PAID for it by doing extra for a short time. By the time you've done extra work and made the equivalent of the tuition fee, you've pretty much taken the sorry class.

Aren't most gigs as early as 6am? Why waste a class on that?

Even when you're booked and on set. They usually do rehearsals if it's a major scene involving a car or some major prop. It's for cost effectiveness and liability purposes. It's always different on different sets to some degree so one class isn't going to prepare you that much.

Most scene study classes that I've audited or gone through were not On-Camera. Anyone want to chime in for good on-camera scene study classes?

I know that Anthony Meindl Actor's Workshop and Scott Sedita Acting Studios offer On-Camera Technique class. Acting coach Catherine Carlen also offers on-going Professional Film Acting workshops.

I also came across this Film Actors Academy that offers On-Camera Acting Class with David Kang Casting....

If you ever come to New York, I'd recommend the On-Camera class with Seth Barrish at The Barrow Group.
