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.

Drawing on his thirty years of notable work in film and television, Jonas Chernick brings a grounded, honest approach to the craft, with experience both in front of and behind the camera as a writer and filmmaker. His work is rooted in authenticity, specificity, and a deep understanding of what translates on screen.
This class is an opportunity to explore what makes a performance feel real, where instinct meets technique, and presence becomes compelling. It’s about connection, nuance, and owning what makes you uniquely watchable. Classes focus on scene work, using material selected from recent film & TV scripts, with equal focus on examining performances via playback.
This class is designed as an ongoing 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.
