Acting On-Camera with Annie Chang

Join us for a three hour master class in on-camera acting with Monday Nights Theatre Company founding member Annie Chang (Peacemaker on HBO, Interior Chinatown on Hulu; Wild Swans, The Young Vic, A.R.T, 4000 Miles, Studio Theatre). 

Using a simple setup that you can recreate at home (one that Annie uses for her own auditions), learn film acting foundations as well as the technical skills that will help you perform confidently and creatively on-screen. Annie will assign participants an on-camera scene to workshop in class and offer coaching from the perspective of a working actor and experienced acting instructor with over 9 years of experience. On-camera participants will receive the footage from class to assist them as they continue to hone their craft and on-camera acting techniques. 

Annie has a passion for bringing out her students best work, often coaching clients while they are working on films and tv series as well as helping them develop their talent into audition skills that book work. This workshop will also include a Q&A regarding the business side of film/tv.

p.s. Curious but not ready to perform in front of other people?  Don’t worry, you can reserve a sliding scale spot to still participate without performing on camera. Those auditing the class can ask questions and learn from Annie’s coaching, and may be asked to volunteer to read with those performing on-camera. 

Los-Angeles based actor and director Annie Chang is a SAG-Aftra member and co-founder of Monday Nights Theatre Company where she will be directing Gruesome Playground Injuries this summer in Waterbury Center, Vermont (come check out the shows!).  Her credits include Peacemaker on HBO, Interior Chinatown on Hulu, and Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber on Showtime. She was selected for the ABC Diversity Showcase in NY and the NBC Diversity Showcase in LA.  Annie has been a series regular in television pilots with Fox and Showtime that never went to series, so nobody will ever see when she acted alongside Jane Krakowski, David Cross, Amy Sedaris, Rachel Dratch and Ben Schwartz. 

In addition to her own performance career, Annie has been coaching actors for 9 years. Her clients can be seen across numerous major networks and streaming platforms. Fun fact: one client even included a vice presidential candidate of Taiwan!
