Voice & Speech: On Stage/On Camera begins October 21st at 10am IN PERSON at the Howard Fine Studio!!

To be louder, or not to be louder, that is not the question. Can your Voice handle the truth? That is the question. And by freeing your Voice and claiming ownership of that freed Voice in relation to space, the answer to “can your Voice handle the truth?” is one big: YES.

In this 8-hour intensive, your Voice can and will handle the truth as Mr. Coury guides you on stage & on camera through his pioneering exercises that focus on body, breath, personalization, and imagination. In real time your real Voice will emerge as you are released from the rigid “speak-this-way-only” approach and introduced to exciting and practical ways of refining your instrument in your daily life and craft.

ON-CAMERA ACTING: “THE SELF” begins October 21st with Marilyn!

Acting is a verb. The audition is an event. As actors, we need to develop ease in front of the camera. The key to this is personalization which requires us to include ourselves while also imagining beyond our own experiences.

You will learn to work in detail, so you can then learn what we must prioritize when it comes time to working efficiently and productively. The amount of time you have to prepare determines the scope of your investigation. The character always begins with “The Self”.

Personalization: A Deep Dive begins October 24th in person at the Howard Fine Studio!!

Acting is really about getting ready to act. Besides being physically and vocally prepared, the actor must also be emotionally prepared. The audience wants to be taken on a journey; you must be ready to go on the journey of the character, no matter how emotionally challenging the journey might be. Living truthfully in a fictional world, whatever that world may be, is always the goal.

STORY informs PERSONALIZATION.
PERSONALIZATION leads to BELIEF.
BELIEF allows SPONTANEOUS LIFE to happen every time.

This 3-day Intensive will explore the fusion of the two parts of Personalization to experience the awareness, clarity, and connectedness of the actor’s mind, heart, and body.
