As a class project you will record a short acting or skill clip based on what you learned in the class and upload it for helpful feedback.

Karen Lampiasi is a NY based talent manager who has clients regularly booking major films and TV shows and shares with you:

  • What is the difference between a REEL and a CLIP
  • When you should use a clip vs a reel
  • Why knowing your "type" is crucial to creating the right material to get booked
  • What types of clips you should focus on
  • How long the clips should be and how they should be edited.

Project Description
Upload a 60 second acting, singing, dancing or special skill clip using the information you've learned in class. I will give feedback on any clips upladed.
