A bit of New York acting training in Cape Town. 2 Day Meisner Technique Intensive with Raymond T Williams. Actors learn how to connect fully in the moment from their own impulses and feelings and to the other actors in a scene, learning to work off what the other actor does. Ray will explain the basis for emotional preparation and improvisation-based approach to scene work. Characterization, script analysis and other advanced acting issues will be discussed. Aimed at actors but also suitable for Directors and Writers. “When I first started attending classes at Studio4 and met Ray, it was probably the first time that I realized the possibility of a career in acting being a realistic aspiration. I often times found myself thinking, “wow, was I really able to do that ? Was that really me?” One of the most important things I tell people about my acting experience with Raymond is that he actually believes in us and trains us to be professional working actors.” – Lola Akinola

“A strict Meisner professional whose studied under the best, amongst the best… he’s as good as it gets.” – Paul Michael Polsinelli

“Ray is hands-on. He takes the time to dig with each actor, recognizing that everyone’s journey is totally personal and their own. Ray doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, he tailors his approach to fit what the actor needs.” – Will Hochman

Complimentary Career Advice/ CV Advice/ Audition Coaching can be booked with Vanessa for those days. Please indicate on the facebook page if you would like to book. Actors who attend the Joburg intensive can attend Cape Town for free and vice versa. Just let us know.
