with Stephen-Paul Dieter

Introduction to Acting

If you've ever wanted to learn to act, I have good news for you! Anyone can act, because everyone already does. Every time you deliberately alter your behavior to get a certain result, that's acting. What I will teach you to do is go beyond that, to understand and sympathize with characters far more different than those simple changes we all make on a daily basis. Fortunately, Konstantin Stanislavski already did the hard work of figuring out how, and my approach is based on his.

I view my characters as people I'm getting to know and then impersonating. The fact that they're fictional is beside the point. If the writer has done his job, it's all there in the script, implicitly and explicitly. If it isn't, then it's our job to put it there. The course will cover elementary acting theory, script and character analysis, with scripts I have available and know inside and out, covering both drama and comedy.

About your instructor, Stephen-Paul Dieter:

I'm 38, have a BA in Theatre from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL, am on the board of Parrish Playworks, a community theater in Parrish, Fl, subsequent voice over training and experience producing audiobooks, and I've been acting seriously since I was around fifteen.Acting works because deep down, we're all human, and studying it is one of the best ways I know to really get used to understanding people different from you: their needs, hangups, wants, goals, everything that makes them do what they do, and be who they are. I want to share that with you.
