Total Prep ONLINE is a 4-hour intensive providing actors personal, in-depth instruction and practical, professional advice on the preparation process for film and television. Students can participate from anywhere in the world.

Master teachers Erica Arvold and Richard Warner guide actors using the Arvold Warner 10-step preparation checklist for character creation. This multi-layered, progressive study is for intermediate adult actors, college-level and above. The Arvold Warner approach is a synthesis of major 20th century acting methods, with focus on supporting and developing each individual’s personal practice while also expanding one’s craft toolkit. 

Grounded in the detailed study of a scene, participants explore efficient, effective techniques for creating action-based characters for the audition as well as the set.

Features of the class include:

• sensory work
• script analysis
• in-character thinking
• developing relationships
• achieving clear, bold choices

Participants will deepen their ability to create original and personal work while expanding their passion for the craft.

arvold.education focuses on both the philosophical and pragmatic aspects of being a film artist.
