Working Professionally in the U.S. Latin Market -  Part II

Trabajando profesionalmente en el mercado latino de Estados Unidos

If you missed the previous class, this a chance to catch up. If you already took the class, you will continue to build on what we started. This class is for all levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. Q&A, Spanish copy reading, support and assessment will be provided as on-going features of this series.

Sometimes an acting job may require some Spanish. Sometimes the job is all in Spanish. Are you fully equipped?

This class will evaluate your Spanish level, proficiency, and reading skills, while providing you with a clear assessment of them. We will focus on clarifying your own individual goals:

Do you want to speak well enough to improvise a chat en Español? Or, do you want to enter the Spanish voice-over market? Do you want to read audiobooks, or go shoot a movie in Latin America? These are all different goals that require specific directives. But whether auditioning, acting on set, or reading in the recording studio, the goal is to aim for total authenticity and fluidity. Perfect pronunciation is a must. Working at the professional level requires it.

If you desire to work as an actor in Spanish, this is the class for you. It will not only help you to understand the Latin acting market, but also to identify your strengths and weaknesses in order to find your place in this growing market.

Each student will be individually evaluated, with special attention paid to pronunciation and copy reading. Come ready to read copy in Spanish; materials will be provided.
