About Tameka Cruel
Tameka Cruel studied at Chapman University in Orange Ca, where she received her degree in Theatre. After taking time away from the main stage, Tameka found herself coaching her son Seth Carr, and mentoring other young actors which became her new found passion. While having much success with her son, Tameka envisioned a studio that would allow other young actors to learn all the necessary tools to master their craft. A space where Creativity ,Confidence and Characters are made!
"Lets Play"
Our mission is to create a fun and disciplined environment for our young actors to explore all elements of developing characters with confidence.
Learning how to utilize the body and voice as a tool rather than focusing on just memorizing lines. Bringing the scene to LIFE! So lets PLAY!
BOOKED IT!!
We all love hearing the words "BOOKED IT!"
But the question everyone wants to know is, what are those actors doing to book the JOB and ROOM.
Making strong choices, staying committed to the character, learning to take risk and being able to take direction when given all lead to BOOKING!
CCC CLASSES
SCENE STUDY/SCRIPT ANALYSIS
ACTING CLASSES FOR KIDS
This specific class teaches our young actors the basic tools to use and exercise their minds through emotional range and body movement that will be applied in the actor's scene work. Learning how to create a backstory and develop specifics to a character they are playing
Script Analysis teaches our young actors the tools to understanding a scene by breaking to down. Establishing a tone, meaning of primary emotions ( happy, sad, anger, love , fear , jealousy, enthusiastic etc.) Creating subtext to guide you on your journey to be fully connected and committed the scene and character.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Character breakdown teaches our young actors to find specifics for their characters such as ( age, gender, ethnicity and behavior). Making strong choices for the character instead of the young actor playing his/herself in the role finding moments in the scene to make the audience believe you believe.
IMPROV
Improv for our young actors teaches them to think quick, exercising the brain to create unscripted dialogue to tell a story getting out what we call " who what and who where" creating an environment with a suggested idea while at the same time having a task , using a wide range of big emotions.
AUDITION ROOM
CCC ACTING STUDIO has created space to sharpen our young actors audition skills for both commercial and theatrical auditions. The Audition Room will be treated as true to auditions/callbacks are conducted.
