On-Camera Acting and Casting

Elevate Your On-Camera Acting and Casting Skills.

A practical beginner course for actors starting their on-camera journey.

Have you worked in front of the camera but never had formal on-camera training? Have you done commercials, small roles, or some screen work — but feel unsure how it really works?

This course is designed specifically for new actors and early-stage performers who want a clear, professional introduction to on-camera acting and auditioning.

Led by Hal Masonberg, the focus is on understanding how the camera reads performance, how to take direction, and how to develop truthful, grounded work on screen — without pressure or hype.

What the course focuses on:

  • Practical on-camera scene work in a real casting studio.
  • Weekly exploration of different genres (commercials, fiction, comedy, drama, group scenes).
  • Finding your own interpretation while responding to direction.
  • Watching and reviewing recorded takes to understand what works on camera.
  • Clear, constructive feedback in a supportive environment.

This course offers a structured, safe starting point for actors who want to build solid foundations in screen acting and auditioning.

BONUS Q&A Session with casting director LUCI LENOX

By the end of the course, participants leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of how on-camera acting works.
  • Experience working across different genres.
  • Greater confidence in auditions through practice and repetition.
  • Photos and full-body presentation to use in your self-tapes.

Please note:
