Review for The Barrow Group, New York, NY, USA
I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of The Barrow Group! As a new member I feel completely at home, both with the people I’ve met and the fantastic location (huge studio spaces and a really great lounge area).
I just finished my second class, the Professional Film/TV Acting II with teaching artist Stephen Singer, and I’m so happy with my experience. Stephen is a warm and insightful instructor who gets as excited about the scenes as the actors performing them. The class is structured so everyone is working even if they’re not in the scene: someone will be running camera, another will mark the slate for each take, and then a scripty will be on book for lines and continuity. And for the actors in the scene, we got to do a master shot and then each do our close-ups.
I felt like I was on set every week. My confidence has grown in my on-camera acting and it’s all thanks to Stephen and this class. I highly recommend it.
