NEW CLASS
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WITH JONATHAN LIPNICKI
Character Development Auditioning Class with Jonathan Lipnicki (Stuart Little, Jerry McGuire)
Unlock the next level of your acting craft in this intermediate/advanced class led by actor Jonathan Lipnicki, known for his roles in Stuart Little and Jerry Maguire. This class is designed for teen and adult actors who already have previous training and are ready to deepen their character work and audition skills.
Week 1: Introduction & Scene Breakdown
In the first week, students will receive a scene in advance and dive straight into character development. Through an in-depth discussion of the scene, we will explore the essential framework needed for bringing a character to life. Students will perform the scene as they normally would, emphasizing the building blocks of character exploration.
Week 2: Off-Book & Avatar Creation
By week two, students will be off-book and have completed a scene breakdown using the “ten questions” method. We will rehearse the scene without scripts, then embark on creating an “Avatar” for the character. This Avatar can be inspired by real-life figures or someone the student knows. This creative exercise will focus on infusing voice, physicality, and mannerisms into the performance.
Week 3: Avatar Integration & Adjustments
In this session, students will integrate their chosen Avatar into their performance. Jonathan will provide personalized feedback and adjustments to help elevate the character, adding depth and complexity. Additional homework will further refine the character, encouraging students to layer more nuances into their portrayal.
Week 4: Final Performance
In the final week, students will present their scenes, showcasing the fully realized character they’ve developed over the course of the class. This is an opportunity to demonstrate all aspects of their work: the Avatar, character adjustments, and the overall development from the previous weeks.
Take your audition technique to new heights with Jonathan Lipnicki’s hands-on guidance in this transformative class!
