The Freeman Studio holds on-camera and stage acting in equal esteem. We take pride in the quality of our teachers and the class offerings of our On Camera division. These classes consist of weekly sides designed to strengthen each actor’s ability to act on camera, as well as to audition effectively. They are offered on a constant, year-long schedule with four-week, renewable cycles. Classes are limited to 12 students. Class is on a 4-week cycle and meets once a week, unless otherwise stated. Once you are enrolled in class, you may renew your spot. If you give it up, and wish to rejoin at a late date, you will be placed on the waitlist for the next cycle. Find out more about each individual class below.
This on-going master class, taught by noted actor Andrew Polk, is targeted for those actors who, although perhaps already working in the profession, seek greater knowledge and preparation in auditioning and performing on camera. Material will be prescriptively chosen from recent film and television scripts. The goal is to have each student grow more confident and expert in their own on camera technique.
This class is designed as an on-going class, so the actor can grow stronger over time. However, actors may take the class just once, if they prefer. Classes are on a 4-week cycle and meet once a week, plus an additional hold date. Once you are a member of the class, you will be invited to renew your spot. If you give it up, and wish to rejoin, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next cycle.
Classes are limited to 12 actors.

Find out about Welkers’s new workshop here.
So often actors receive notes like: “throw it away”, “stop working so hard” or (the dreaded) “do less”. It can cause us to go flat, disconnect, and feel unmoored. In this TWO DAY WORKSHOP, actors will learn how stories written for film and television are constructed, and what a given scene – as written on the page – is revealing. It’s only then that the actor is able to release into the circumstances of the story: Not to do “less”, but rather to allow for greater specificity, ease, and present-moment veracity in front of a camera.
These practical tools are applicable for self-tapes, in-person auditions, rehearsals and on-set performance. Actors will bring in material of their choosing to work on, or pick from material provided by Welker prior to the start of the workshop.
