Spring On-Camera Classes!

Hello and Happy Spring!

Lynn Blumenthal Casting is now offering a new Weekend Intensive On-Camera Workshop for May, 2012!   This three-day intensive workshop will meet over the course of a weekend- May 18, 19, 20. Times are Friday, May 18 (6:30pm-9:30pm), Saturday, May 19 (10:00am-3:00pm), and Sunday, May 20 (9:30am-12:30pm).

This popular class will plunge you into the on-camera world of auditioning for commercials, film and television projects. You will learn how to audition successfully, as well as learn all the inside industry know-how — from agents, casting directors, headshots, resumes, demos, interviews, script analysis, and more!   All levels of experience are encouraged to attend.   The class is limited in size so that you will receive plenty of time on-camera. All students are taped so that you will have the opportunity to see yourself on-camera and make necessary adjustments to improve this skill.

This class is at a reduced price of $295.00!   To get information on enrollment, please contact Michelle Hutchison at funnyhutch@aol.com or 612-462-1325.  Spaces in the class are limited and will fill up fast, so sign up soon!

HERLIFE Magazine: Wehmann Trendsetters

Since July 2011, Wehmann has been working exclusively with a fantastic new women’s magazine called HERLIFE (http://www.herlifemagazine.com/twincities/).  Each month, HERLIFE features a local boutique in their “Trendsetter” section, and uses Wehmann models to showcase the gorgeous wares!  HERLIFE’s photographer, Spencer Combs (http://www.spencer-combs.com/website.html), does a phenomenal job capturing the beauty of not only the clothing, but our fabulous models as well.

We are especially excited to announce that February’s issue features our awesome intern, Judith, wearing clothing from Roe Wolfe boutique in Mendota Heights.  Check out her stunning photos below!

Fall 2011 on-camera workshops with Michelle Hutchison!

WORKSHOP FOR KIDS AND TEENS!

October 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th, and November 5th. All classes are held from 9:30am-12:30pm

The On-Camera workshop will focus on the skill of on-camera auditioning and acting. Students will receive TV/Film scripts nightly to work on at home. Each session the student will work individually on-camera while receiving individual coaching. Students will receive a tape of their time on-camera to take home and review. This valuable learning tool will aid the actor in observing how they operate on-camera and what adjustments are needed to improve.

Improvisation exercises and theatre games will be included to help the actor learn how to think on their feet and trust their instincts.

Tuition: $365.00

Location: All classes are held at the Lynn Blumenthal Casting office (401 North 3rd Street, Suite 660, Minneapolis 55401)

If you would like a spot in one of these workshops, please contact Michelle Hutchison at Funnyhutch@aol.com, or 612-462-1325 and she will make arrangements for you.  All levels of experience are encouraged to attend!
