Jim Braswell’s Drop in Monthly Workshop

The Maile School Presents:
Jim Braswell’s Drop in Monthly Workshop!

 

Jim says, “One of the best things about living in LA was the fact that if I wasn’t working, I was always in a class. When I first moved back to Orlando, I wanted to keep that focus and stay in a class to continue working on my craft. Because of my full-time job at Disney, that was virtually impossible. All of the local classes required an 8 or 12 week commitment. That is why Debby and I are starting this monthly drop in class. So you can stay on top of your game without a long commitment. Most everything I teach, technique wise, is Stanislavski based. Those of you that have been in my classes know my style. Those of you that haven’t, come and check it out!”

The next available workshop is Wednesday, Aug 15th from 6pm to 10pm.

Don’t miss this exciting hands on industry workshop. Seating is limited a nd seats are already filling up. Great to add to your resume under training and staying current with your acting skills.
