Acting is Thinking, Feeling and Doing.
THINK: Acting classes in Austin start with script analysis, which includes:
- Identifying theme
- Answering the Who, What, Where, When and How questions
- Objectives – wins/losses
- Discovering Actions
- Moment to moment work
- Writing a character statement
FEEL: Emotional preparation helps the actor find their character’s core emotional truth.
DO: Focus exercises that help actors become charismatic. The goal of the exercises is to affect change in one another and the audience. Similar to Meisner work.

What people are saying about our Austin Texas Acting Classes:
“I had acted in various projects before taking Amber’s class, but I never felt like I gave myself fully to them. I felt like my ‘process’ was ephemeral (if I used it), or I went with my initial surface level thoughts about how the scene(s) should go. Through Amber’s warmth and wealth of knowledge, I’ve learned how to work and how to contribute using the tools she’s passed on to me. I feel confident in my ability now to explore using my creativity, using the craft I’ve learned and will continue to learn through these classes.” – Tim Ashby
