MARCH 2024 BOOTCAMP STUDENT, SEALTH GROVER

"I’m an actor who lives in New Jersey. I was planning on traveling to Toronto with my sister and decided to look for acting studios in the city. My search led me to Milne Studio, and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. From the moment I reached out, Brad Milne (owner/acting coach) gave a personal experience, being nothing short of extremely knowledgable, dedicated, and welcoming. The pre-class homework had me focused and prepared days before class started. I could already tell that the classes themselves would exceed my expectations. The small class size allowed Brad to work one on one with students during the entire bootcamp, offering individualized trainings, techniques, and exercises. He worked with each of us to maximize our weekend, making sure that we reached our own goals and potentials. Using professional filming equipment (cameras, lighting, editing), I am left with a 3 minute acting reel that I am so proud of. Thank you, Brad Milne, for a learning experience that will never leave me. I’ll definitely be joining in virtually from New Jersey for classes, and hope to visit again soon!"

Watch these to experience the journey in our IMMERSIVE weekend acting bootcamp.

The ultimate Film and TV Acting Bootcamp at Milne Acting Studio's Toronto Harbourfront location.

The 48 Hour Acting Bootcamp guides you through the phases of creating character and playing the role. You’re given a series of homework assignments, a challenging inspiring introduction to the weekend at the orientation then a marathon of evocative exercises in class on day one. Our immersive acting workshop is designed to help you create and deliver your most vivid and compelling performances. Your work is professionally captured in studio at the height of your performance, providing a strong new addition to your demo reel. Or a stand alone showcase of your work.

Level I is for actors new to Milne Studio and early in their acting journey who are seeking a weekend immersion to get thoroughly introduced to our training along with getting a strong monologue demo reel of your work. You'll be challenged to stay focused, take risks, explore your own emotional depths, and have great fun connecting with yourself and the other actors.

Level II is for actors that have either: attended our Level I bootcamp, or our Level I & II classes, or have an existing demo reel that showcases your strongest work. This bootcamp immerses you into compelling high stakes scene work, we pick up where we left off in Level I and drive your character and role creation to new heights.

Each bootcamp is capped at 8 students. Register and purchase your spot early in this unique  acting master class and demo reel scene workshop. You'll gain tools to strengthen your character preparation, boost your auditioning skills, and elevate your film and television acting overall. Your chosen monologue for level I or scene for level II is then worked on throughout the 48 Hour Acting Bootcamp workshop and coached, directed, and produced for your acting demo reel.

"2 days of hard, exhilarating, thought provoking work with Brad leading the way. Thank you Milne Studio for helping me improve my craft! I look forward to attending workshops in the future to hone my acting skills." Natalie Sebastian, Canadian Actress, 48 Hour Acting Bootcamp, October 2022.

"Flew all the way from Chicago for the 48 hour bootcamp!! It was definitely worth it! I got to see myself grow so much as an actor in 48 hours! Brad is amazing at his work! We got to work with an amazing and talented group! Thank you so much!" Demi Bouzanis, American Actress, 48 Hour Acting Bootcamp, October 2022.

"Working with Brad was amazing! Being part of his class took me to places as an actor I didn't even know were there to explore. I learned so much about the craft of acting and about myself as well. I notice that I feel more present and grounded in my everyday life and with my work. It was such a great experience!" Mikalah Reid Bekette, Canadian Actress, 48 Hour Acting Bootcamp, February 2022

ORIENTATION SESSION

Friday - 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
We cover all aspects of the Milne Studio training system. We will overview the journey you’ll take and make plans to ensure a productive outcome for all.

TRAINING DAY 1

Saturday – 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM

Interpretation
A comprehensive and in-depth investigation into Milne’s technique, PERGE; helping you effectively breakdown scripts, giving you stronger role prep and improved audition skills. We'll apply precise interpretive steps adding dimension to your roles.

Foundation

You’ll engage in breathing, energy, voice, movement, interpersonal connection, improvisation, storytelling, monologues, scene study and performance exercises. By the end of the day you’ll be immersed in character and ready to play the role, with residue of the day’s work present until the next morning. Applying best practices greatly improves both acting and performance ability.

TRAINING DAY 2

Sunday – 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM

The Set – The day starts with a brief warm up (foundation and interpretation exercises) and discussion about pacing through a shoot day. Learning to connect and reconnect with your role is essential. In character and ready to play the role you’ll move into our on-camera environment. While directors love it when actors hit it on the first take, we’re often called upon to repeat a scene or parts of a scene several times for coverage. Actors have to be ready.

The Performance – Time to step into the ring. Like any sport or engagement, proper preparation is critical to your success. The same applies in acting: we must precisely prepare for the part, make the focus of the work the back, front, top, bottom and all the sides of the role, then trust that we can let the prep go and live in the present, breathing quietly in our bodies on screen. Your performance will be professionally shot then mastered and delivered to you via Vimeo.

STUDENTS RECEIVE

• Extensive structured homework.
