With an emphasis on performance more than lecturing, Brian Cutler Actors Studio [Burbank, CA] has refined a teaching process that trains actors to get out, smash the audition, and get the role. Simplicity is the key and creating working professionals in film and television is the goal. Never cold or intimidating, the learning environment is intimate, unpredictable, and tuned to cultivate spontaneous and instinctive creativity. ​ More than joining a class, students at the Brian Cutler Actors Studio become a part of a network. The studio serves as a family away from family, and the teachers are one element of a dynamic support system. It’s about basic instinct and authentic moments. It’s about unrestricted, on-camera organic performance. It’s about getting the job and living as a professional actor in the real world. Most of all, the Brian Cutler Actors Studio is all about the students. In-person and Zoom classes available.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

Brian Cutler Actors Studio Part 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ-0aamqeJJ8hrs

[@filmrebel]

When I learned to not be in my head about what my next line was gonna be, but instead to focus on the other person and really hear and connect with them, it made such a massive difference in my acting abilities. Great video and very important lesson 👏

[@alexbalea6404]

Tell this to the guy with glasses

[@BrianCutlerActorsStudio]

Thank you for that observation, Wyatt. Charles Erich Conrad (Brian's mentor) coined the motto that we currently use at the studio: "Total concentration of attention away from yourself is the creative source of acting."

[@supernaturalguy6032]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/haC0o2ycgNB9mqM Any advice on acting

[@xnaomisidex3502]

Thank you for the tip. I subscribed to your channel.

[@johnpaul4301]

This is doable for small scenes where you dont need to memorize too much. But for long scenes or even long monologues, it's really hard not to be thinking about what you need to say after each sentence

[@casandraarguello6682]

It’s good to see the inside of clases. It helps with transparency and setting realistic expectations ✨

[@filmcourage]

Thank you for posting Casandra. This is our first segment from this class, we look forward to sharing more from our visit.

[@rawrbabez3]

i absolutely LOVE the direction the teacher gave, and how well the actors took it in and used it to make the second take FANTASTIC. in the second take the air was thick with tension between them, and it made me want to watch to find out what had happened between them

[@Thenoobestgirl]

This makes me want to take acting lessons. It looks like fun xD

[@BrianCutlerActorsStudio]

If you are not in LA, we also offer classes via Zoom!

[@CKGoldiing]

The second read is in a different league entirely to the first. Brilliantly done. Glorious change of pace for Film Courage - we all love you, Karen x

[@orcanimal]

This is a good change of pace. Would love more of these

[@filmcourage]

Thanks for watching. We have a lot more from this class to share.

[@CKGoldiing]

Agreed x

The fella who plays Howard is fantastic!!!! What an awesome look into a class. Love this. Appreciate it

[@georgeorwell4931]

I always have to stop what im doing to watch these incredible videos!!! so insightful, learning , in developing our craft. Wow!

[@lubruz7164]

Amazing class! The psychology of Howard Roark was very benevolent and independent. He was not feeling resentment against Peter Keating, he was just indifferent to the moral standards that Peter was using. Peter was projecting his own secondhanded insecurities trying to harm Roark, but that never really worked. That little nuance add much more to the acting: the contrast between an aggresive insecure actitud vs a benevolent independent mindset.

[@sashenne8193]

very good run down of those two characters......

[@josetavares9573]

This acting class is very helpful In lending a hand and it will make your acting more realistic due to the fact of the choices you will make in life. This will take me far and the doors in Hollywood are waiting to be open a star has been born.

[@CedwardHirth]

Howard: "hello peter" Peter:(remembering doctor octopus)

[@JohnKeating33]

Bravo, @FilmCourage! Well done!

[@filmcourage]

Cheers! Thank you John! We are excited to share more from this class 😁

[@MatteoKnight]

wish i had this in my area. i been wanting to jump into the acting world since i was young. never had a team around me to help me find opportunity for it. now a father of 5 my team is around me.

[@Timthethespian89]

They have tons of zoom classes! Actors Foundry in Vancouver has classes for students all over the world. I took some there, the Howard Fine studio, took a bunch of workshops in the pandemic. All on zoom!

[@borntodeal]

Hi there. It's never too late to start. I'm 52 years old. Felix is half that and we are accountability partners in the class. We support each other in moving things forward. I worked a job entirely by Zoom. It took 20 minutes. The compensation was very generous. There is remote work out there.

[@alexbalea6404]

@@Timthethespian89 acting and zoom it s a waste of time. You act using your whole body, including hands, feet, everything, not just a zoom camera angle, which is a very bad angle by the way!

[@Timthethespian89]

@@alexbalea6404 is it as good as in person? No, so you’re right in that aspect. I don’t think it’s a waste of time to practice, refine, and learn the craft from master teachers all over the world. Yes, you should be as embodied as possible, but what about close ups? What about very particular camera angles?

[@alexbalea6404]

@@Timthethespian89 practice yes!! Refining yes!! I agree!! But don t try lifting it to the rank of art and start selling tickets for zoom plays.. That s what I was reffering to..

[@gabegouge9821]

Love a teacher like this that tells the truth

[@sumikosun]

The second take is wayyy betterrrr what a difference

[@thesuccessfulone]

That guy in the background and I had the exact same reaction when he said "Candy break".

[@borntodeal]

I'm very fond of the candy breaks. Mr. Cutler stocks the basket with some real treats.

[@BrianCutlerActorsStudio]

:-D

[@TyGee777]

"Active listening." Wow, such a difference. Great video.

[@Cameron-ue7lu]

Great advice on listening. Especially Theatre when the primary objective is to make sure you hit your line. Why so much Theatre feels unreal. Thank you!

[@HellobroHellobro-ni5rl]

Thanks brian cutler and some others that were in this video and the people that shot many clips and or the video...

[@iberiasciacca]

Incredible video showing a class setting with so much knowledge with performing. Watching actors and hearing suggestions afterwards really helps seeing many directions. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@filmcourage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@abdul2009]

Wow! Theyre so good first of all And yeah I love the second one especially!

[@DaishaView]

I just started taking an acting class and we get our monologues next week. This just made me hype!

[@user-tx8lw7rl7w]

Good director love his interaction and involvement with the two actors that’s how you bring out the best out of the actors. The director is the brains behind it all.

[@Jessgala]

I cant wait for the full video from the class!! when does it come out?? You guys should definitely do more acting videos :))

[@borntodeal]

Thanks!

[@filmcourage]

Wow! Thank you so much Christopher! Awfully generous of you. Our hopes with sharing this class is that our viewers gain from it and for Brian (and those he works with like yourself) to get a boost from it. We hope that your generosity is rewarded many times over. We have your IMDB in the info section above, please let us know if you would like us to add any other links.

[@mikerickard2434]

Great direction, which the actors really applied. The second scene had punch. 👏👏👏

[@snoopz8144]

I'm so amazed how everything changed in the second reading just by hearing a couple of pointers. I'm truly inspired

[@BrianCutlerActorsStudio]

@SnoopZ Brian's philosophy is not to give a lot of direction. He says that that is not the way directors work in the real world of film acting.

[@brennerent]

Thank You so much, Karen!

[@remixandkaraoke]

Love this! More of this sort of thing would be much appreciated by me.

What do you like about this video?

Actually everything. It's showing a dream I never had the chance to chime in so I wish all actors there all the best in their lives! (German guy, never been to US, now working in games business and happy with it) What I would love to have seen would be the other actors. If there would be a way to see more of it, I would definitely watch it!

Does your company offer acting classes over zoom? I do not live in CA.

[@BrianCutlerActorsStudio]

Sorry for the late response @Life As O. To answer your question, Yes! We do offer Zoom classes! Feel free to sign up for a free audit at www.actorsstudio.com.

[@katsybo]

The bigger guy is amazing! The little guy is angry and mocking.

[@tracywhipple4364]

Regarding active listening when it's a monologue and you're the 'only one in the room'; you are never the only one in the room. That voice you hear inside your head is who/what you are listening and responding to. As an actor, make sure that voice is part of the dialogue- not a recitation, regurgitation or an acting instructor.

[@davywilliams8048]

Excellent scene from an excellent book. Love Ayn Rand.

[@aannyyaahh]

this was so good

[@atlantaguitar9689]

He’s not joking when talks about how memorization can get more challenging as one ages. I used to be able to memorize anything. It’s harder now.

[@BabyB4Reall]

Both guys did amazing. Were the dialogs rehearsed or spontaneous ??

[@lonjohnson5161]

I would love to see a non-actor writer having a conversation with a non-writer actor (feel free to substitute words like "director" or "producer"). Maybe follow a scene from page to final edit.
