Having spent the last eight years in television, I have gained new insight into the nuances of the craft from  Producer/Director Jorn Winther. I will continue to study with him and recommend anyone who wants to gain more knowledge in the art of acting to do the same."
     Sonja Abate Senior TV of Palm Desert, CA  Member of PSWIFT 

If  you  have the opportunity to take classes with Jorn Winther - take it…  It is a very rare opportunity to work with a real  pro director that walks you through the entire acting process, whether it be on film, TV or stage.

     Craig Michaels SAG-AFTRA-AEA Desert Actor's Network, member 

Jorn's directing workshop is fun, inspiring, informative and practical. He's a great teacher and I loved every minute of it!"  
     Maddy Lederman, Director/Writer and Member of PSWIFT 

Right after  taking Jorn Winther's directing class I produced and directed 6 half-hour cooking shows, to air on PBS - and I felt completely prepared for the job - and I thank Jorn and his workshop for that!

Our mission:

The focus will be preparing actors for a career in the industry.

We don't do Shakespeare, but we prepare you for auditions and performing in front of a camera, film or TV, prime time or daytime drama.

Here's what we do:

We believe that film and TV actors benefit immeasurably from thorough training in live acting.

Technique is addressed through various exercises created by Mr. Winther: Students will be coached and directed in a published stage play and scenes from soap operas and from recent movies. 

Students learn what a director needs from an actor.

Students should be prepared to work in non-traditional acting classes focusing on the emotional control of the character considering the enormous pressures of a film or television studio.

Classes are a four week boot camps concluding with public performances attended by casting directors, agents and TV/ Film Producers/Directors.

Soap Operas

It’s not easy, but it's easier to break into the business on a daytime drama.

Our students will be taught the preparation, blocking, rehearsing and the detailed process of acting in a daily one hour network soap.

Monologue Work

Students will select and prepare monologues for use in class and on auditions.  The key to making a monologue reel is to understand to whom you are talking and why.

Cold Reading / Auditioning Techniques

Individual cold reading auditions. After critique, actors are given the opportunity to make adjustments. Students are challenged in life-like audition setting.

Improvisation

The fun part of the course and the various exercises are designed to challenge your imagination and develop your instincts.

Comedy

Students will learn that comedy is almost never about acting funny. You still have to find the reality of the character even if placed in embarrassing and hilarious circumstances.
