Master Class

8-10 Participants

The Master Class is designed for students who have previously worked with Marvin in his audition and scene study workshops. The emphasis will be less on theory and shall attempt to more accurately reflect and simulate the pressure of working on a professional set, finding spontaneity and freshness in performance after repeated takes until “print it” can be called as well as explore whatever issues might arise to prevent the participant from being their best when “action” is called.

Course Duration: 3 hours per week for 4 weeks

All classes in both the audition and the scene study workshops are shot and played back for review in class. The performance is recorded for the instructor’s notes which are offered immediately upon completion of a scene when the student’s work is broken down and documented for increased understanding and development.

It was clear that the course was painstakingly planned. It was incredibly thorough, unbelievably detailed and so sophisticated. Thank you for asking so much of us and making us aware of how good some film acting can be.

Ben Warwick, The Actors Centre, London England

Marvin is an incredible teacher — smart, caring and tough. His on camera acting classes completely changed the way I approached that medium and made me infinitely more confident…

Caissie Levy, Star of Broadway’s Hair, Wicked, Lez Mis

Marvin really knows what he’s talking about and vividly communicates the fun and challenges of finding, practicing and refining a good acting technique. Highly recommended.

Ron Lea, Star of Doc; This is Wonderland, The Best Years

I have found the things I learned in Marvin’s class to be incredibly useful and the tools and techniques I picked up after studying with him are things I still use in an audition situation or in front of the camera to this very day.
