PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS
THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR CAREER
Since 1982, The Carolyne
Barry Workshops have been one of the most successful independent full training
programs in
Casting Director, Working Actress, Director and Teacher, Ms. Barry believes
that "Good commercial acting is good acting." That is why Carolyne has designed a Workshop program that features
three levels of Acting and Improv classes as well as
her signature Commercial Audition Technique classes, plus numerous
one-of-a-kind actor's workshops.
Ms. Barry is proud of her and her teaching staff's ability to educate,
transform, empower and motivate every actor that participates in her programs.
What makes CAROLYNE BARRY workshops one of the top acting programs and truly
unique is her extensive experience and knowledge of the business and the craft
from in front of and behind the camera. She believes that, "Good
commercial acting is good acting, with less time to prepare, no pauses, more
script specifics and the need to have the actor's personality immediately
accessed. That is why Carolyne has designed an
Actor's Workshop Program that features three levels of Acting and Improv classes as well as her signature Commercial Audition
Technique classes, plus numerous one-of-a-kind specialty workshops. Each
workshop deals specifically with the information, specifics and techniques
inherent in the designated area of training. And they all work together,
sharing the same philosophy to produce the complete professional actor. Whether
it's the Commercial, Acting or Improvisation workshops, to develop individuals
to do their best work, Carolyne Barry and her
teachers have a unified goal:
Teach actors to be present, motivated and connected to the material, themselves
and the other actors that they work with. As well as to focus
on building each actor's confidence and freedom so that they can express their
individual styles and personalities.
Carolyne believes that the best way for an actor to get work in Commercials, T.V. or Film is to understand what the Agency, Director, Producer, and/or Client may want but to put the focus on their personal creative statement. The people in charge always think they know what they want until they see someone who offers them something they have to have. Many times it's not the way the role was initially intended to be cast. So the actor shouldn't be concerned with the end result but their own creative process (within the realm of what is appropriate for the role). No actor can read the minds of the decision-makers. All they can do is do their best work and be 100 % freed up and present.
Chances must be taken to grow in any area of our life. And sometimes along with
risks comes failure. It's an integral part of any learning process. We only
learn from our failures. Therefore, Ms. Barry has created workshop that give
actors a safe place to fail as well an environment that motivates them to take
chances and grow.
Ms. Barry and her teachers pride themselves in her ability to teach, empower
and motivate every actor that participates in their programs.
