WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ALL ABOUT?

The Professional Actors Masterclass (PAM) is a series taught by casting directors and industry professionals. It is an educational series for actors who are serious about their craft, see it as a realistic vocational choice and wish to learn how to improve their performance and audition technique by being in the room, performing sides and getting solid direction and feedback. Our aim is to strengthen 'bookability' and skill level by introducing actors to industry professionals (with extensive experience and impeccable reputation) who can share their knowledge and expertise to further an emerging actors' training.

Each professional has been individually invited to teach based on their skill, professionalism and passion for giving back to actors. Their wish for each of you to improve and succeed is genuine and we feel privileged to facilitate such a program.

STATEMENT

This Masterclass series is run in full compliance of the new laws which came into effect in California in May of 2010. These laws (AB1319) were put in place to protect actors from scams. Information about the laws can be found at www.leginfo.ca.gov. Go to “California Law” and then to “Labor Code”, then sections 1701 to 1705. AIPA is more than happy to provide you with any information that you may require and we have copies of the printed legislation in our offices if you would like to come in and read  it.  ALL courses taught within the state of California are bound by these laws.   We are NOT affiliated with any other company. We are flattered that other companies intimate that we are, but there is no truth in that statement.

DURATION AND LOCATION

PAM will run from the Saturday 27th  April – Sunday 2nd  June (inclusive) in Los Angeles, California.   The location and other information will be provided to successful applicants prior to payment in “Update One”.  As you can appreciate, we need to protect the privacy of the academic staff. We do not wish to encourage actors to ‘turn up’ and try to be seen, join in, or drop off their materials. There is an option of tuition only or tuition and accommodation. See below.

THIS IS AN ACTORS DREAM. IS IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

AIPA is known in Australia for making the seemingly ‘impossible’ possible. Our strength is creating and delivering amazing educational and industry experiences for performing artists. We will not promise anything that we cannot deliver. This project is not about jobs, visas, ‘living the LA life’, drunken parties, promises of introductions or representation. It is about hard work that will be personally rewarding and the knowledge gained will be invaluable.

There is a short promo video, the link is  https://www.performingartstours.com.au/pam-info-video. Please remember that our reputations and careers are just as important to us as yours is to you.

At callback you have a one-on-one, face to face audition with a casting director. We encourage you to ask them about the program and why they are and continue to be involved.
