Story Driven On-Camera (Ongoing Acting Class w/ Wes Jetton)

Craft. Soul. Camera.

This ongoing on-camera class is designed for the working actor who wants to deepen their craft through story. With a soulful approach to archetypes and genre, we explore the emotional core of characters while breaking down essential story structure. Each session includes scene work and on-camera work to prepare for auditions and life on set.

Expect practical tools, feedback, and a mindset-forward approach to help you grow not just as an actor—but as a storyteller with agency and presence.

Actors will have access to their weekly class tapes via a shared Dropbox link, and may use class time to coach their own audition material if timing allows. All actors are asked to sign NDAs to protect the integrity of the work and the space. Professionalism, presence, and a collaborative spirit are expected.

When:Monday Nights @ 7PM – In-Studio | Thursday Nights @ 7PM – On Zoom

Level: Intermediate - Advanced 

Prerequisite: Completion of Online Module + Virtual Meet with Wes
