young actors

Cheryl King, in-house acting coach for All My Children from 2007-2010, developed a tried and true technique to help kids get to the heart of the material. Soap opera actors, including children, have to work quickly, and without much direction, just like in an audition. Cheryl was a favorite on set due to her ability to get sharp and believable performances on demand. Since leaving All My Children, Cheryl has made a name for herself coaching children from 4 to 18 for auditions.

Now Cheryl is offering ongoing classes for 5-9-year-olds on weekends. In these 1 ½ hour classes, your child will work on improvisation, with tried and true theater games, to learn how to be spontaneous and focused. Audition preparation will be included, along with cold reading work. Each student will work on monologues, and sessions will be videotaped, so that students can see the work from the director’s eyes.

One class will be offered each weekend, alternating Saturdays and Sundays.
The schedule will be:
Saturdays from 2-3:30 PM and Sundays from 11:30 AM to 1 PM
The first Sunday class begins on March 13.
The first Saturday class begins on March 19.

Students must sign up for a specific day for four classes (two months). The fee is $200 for four classes, to be taken within two months’ time. Students who miss a class may make it up on a different day during that two months’ time.

Your budding actor will be safe and supported in Cheryl’s classes. The parents of the children Cheryl coaches swear by her ability to get true and believable performances from their kids.
