ACTING FOR THE CAMERA WITH VETERAN SOAP STAR OF ALL MY CHILDREN, ALAN DYSERT
6 - Week Class
 Alan Dysert, best known in the United States as "Sean Cudahy" on ABC-TV’s top-rated soap opera, All My Children, was a full contract player for five years, performing in over 500 episodes.
Alan’s portrayal of this character put him on the cover of "People Magazine" and made him a very much in demand guest on such national shows as Regis and Kathie Lee, Sally Jessy Raphael, The Merv Griffin Show and The Mike Douglas Show as well as all the major talk shows at ABC affiliates across the United States. The shows Alan did for All My Children are still playing in many countries outside the U.S.
Not restricting his career to soap opera, he has appeared in national commercials, prime time television, and film. Alan was cast in two feature films last year and has served as Executive Producer on four other feature films. Alan also directs commercials and produces music videos.
Alan trains actors and performers in many cities including Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Indianapolis and others. In Nashville, he has made notable contributions as the acting coach to the country music stars. He prepares recording artists for their music videos and consults their record companies on television projects and performance development.
In these workshops, Alan focuses on the realities of acting in front of a camera whether it is for a film, a soap opera, a situation comedy, a commercial or a music video.
As acting for the camera is very different from acting for the stage, it is essential that anyone wishing to pursue a career as an actor learns the hows and whys of acting for the various mediums and forums.
Alan brings years of practical experience as a working actor to these workshops designed to educate students regarding realistic and usable approaches to acting and the business of acting.
He encourages frequent performance in front of the camera for all students, to help them learn to feel more comfortable and relaxed.
Having spent twelve years in Los Angeles, six years in New York and a great deal of time in Chicago and Nashville, Alan knows or knows how to find out the answers to most questions about getting started in the business as well as finding work in all of the major markets.
Class sizes are kept small to allow for more personal attention.
Students work with scripts from films, soap operas, sit-coms and commercials as well as participate in improvisation exercises. His approach not only enhances the seasoned talents’ performance with additional training, but also provides those with little or no acting experience a non-threatening environment in which to acquire initial practice and beginning skills to prepare them for future performance in front of the camera.
THE TOTAL COST FOR THE SIX-WEEK SESSION IS $195.
Six Thursdays. (missed classes can be made up).

ALAN DYSERT’S DAYTIME 6-WEEK ACTING CLASS FOR FILM & TELEVISION
Alan works with all levels of performers from beginners to the most advanced. The daytime class provides a scheduling opportunity for students to receive the same instruction as the evening classes. The next six-week session begins on Tuesday, October 29th from 11am to 1pm.
Everything done in class is recorded on video so students can review their work at home. Alan has used this teaching method for many years and it has really paid off for his students who are working every day on film, television, commercials, music videos and stage. Students work with scripts from films, soap operas, sit-coms and commercials as well as participate in improvisation exercises.
Alan's approach not only enhances the seasoned talents’ performance with additional training, but also provides those with little or no acting experience a non-threatening environment in which to acquire initial practice and beginning skills to prepare them for future performance in front of the camera.
The only thing a student needs to bring is a blank VHS videotape.
The total cost for the six-week class is $195.00.
Six Tuesdays from 11am to 1pm (Start any Tuesday).
