Welcome to the three-day performance intensive with Andy McPhee, where you will immerse yourself in the art of acting and develop your performance skills under the guidance of an experienced actor and coach.

This course is ideal for aspiring actors who want to take their craft to the next level and focus purely on performance. Over the course of three days, you will participate in a series of exercises and techniques designed to help you improve your range, connect with your audience and bring your characters to life on stage or screen.

To ensure that you are fully prepared for the course, it is vital that you sign up by July 7th, as you will need time to learn your scripts before classes start. It is also important that you come to the first day of the course with your scripts 70 percent prepared so that you can fully focus on your performance work.

During the course, you will work closely with Andy McPhee, who will help you to develop your acting skills and bring authenticity and depth to your performances. 
Andy will guide you through the process of breaking down your script and analyzing your character so that you can fully understand your motivations and create a believable and compelling performance. You will also receive feedback on your performances, which will help you to grow as an actor and develop your skills.

By the end of the course, you will have gained new skills and techniques that you can apply to all of your future performances, and you will have a better understanding of what it takes to bring a character to life on stage or screen.

So if you are ready to take your acting skills to the next level, sign up for the three-day performance intensive with Andy McPhee today, and prepare to immerse yourself in the art of performance.

Please note bookings for this course close on July the 7th - limited places only,

Andy has also mentored Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney.

”No one knows this but Kodi’s dad, Andy, was a mentor to me, and he was the one who started my process of acting,” Sweeney shared. “He taught me to separate myself from my characters.” Sweeney took this advice in stride and began her process of creating books for all of her characters.

COURSE OUTLINE:

This three day intensive is for committed, curious actors who are ready to be pushed. You will work on short turnaround auditions, deepening your work quickly, refining your camera technique, and make unique authentic choices quickly. Over the three days you will explore:

  • General skill building on camera

  • Finding the truth in the moment.

  • Quickly creating characters

  • Analysing scenes and understanding circumstances using the power of your imagination, intuition and life experiences

  • Making quick, truthful choices under pressure.

Working on multiple scenes over the weekend, Andy will help you ask the right questions, quickly expanding to the widest range of your imagination, finding the truth in your scenes and in your character - all under a high pressure scenario. You will never be stressed out by a last minute audition again.

With work done on camera, you will leave the course with high quality scenes coached by an international actor and acting coach for your reel and casting profiles.
