Heather Anderson
Acting
SoFA Acting classes can help your child become self confident and assured. Acting classes not only help them to prepare for school and community theater auditions, but they teach self expression and vocal delivery fitting for job interviews, oral presentations, and everyday life as well. Training for a stage performance in theater can strengthen your child’s self esteem and give them a community of people that share a common interest.
Classes meet on Tuesdays. Scroll down for class descriptions.

This conservatoire-style acting program gives students real-world hands-on audition experience, even for a complete beginner.
In this class, students learn how to read sight unseen, understand the story arc within a scene, learn how to slate their name at an audition, how to hit the mark, and even basic dance moves that they
might encounter in a musical theater audition.
Each student will be encouraged to learn lines, prepare scenes, and understand the breakdown of a
character when preparing for an audition.
Students will also work to understand inflection, modulation, pausing, and breath control. In fact, everything that makes a good voice sound great!
Students will have the opportunity to participate in the world-renowned Trinity College London Speech and Drama examinations, a program designed for students who wish to see evidence and achievements of progression. A set syllabus outlines specific achievements and key skills to be met at each level.
Class meets on Tuesdays 3-4pm or 4-5pm
Tuition is $45 per month or $12 per class.
