Emotional Accessibility

Online class with Alexandra Wright

Emotional Accessibility for actors.

Are you an actor searching for consistent monthly training to develop your craft and create momentum in your career?

At ActorPlaybook you have access to monthly classes, a network of experienced instructors and a community of actors to provide you with an essential support system as you persevere on your unique acting journey.

At this monthly class you will learn how to access emotions on demand through physical triggers and cues, while also exploring your own emotional blocks. Each month we will examine our own emotional accessibility through a series of techniques and modalities, including Alba method, Fitzmaurice, Uta Hagen, Lucid Body, Michael Chekhov, and more.

Actors are encouraged to bring in scenes, monologues, sides, etc that pose an emotional challenge.

This class meets monthly on Sundays at 4 pm EST. View the current studio calendar.

This class is available to purchase for $29 to SOLO and PROFESSIONAL plan members or it is included for no additional fee with an ALL-ACCESS membership at ActorPlaybook.

Instructor Bio:

Alexandra Wright has a BA from the University of Southern California (Recipient of Doolittle Award: Outstanding Female Performer of graduating class) and an MFA from ART/MXAT at Harvard University. Acting has taken her to Paris, London, Scotland, and Moscow and has given her the opportunity to work with exceptional artists, such as Neil Patrick Harris, Neil Gaiman, Scott Zigler, and Kevin Bright. As a coach, Alexandra has consulted with actors, lawyers, medical professionals, public speakers, and CEOs on helping them build their brand and find their specific and unique voices. Her specialty lies in understanding how upbringing, background, gender, race, sexuality, and trauma shape performance as it relates to body language, communication skills, voice, and presence.

Class 2

Developing The Actor's Voice

Learn the fundamentals by building breath capacity, expanding vocal range and flexibility, and increasing vocal resonance in order to develop an expressive voice ready to inhabit characters. We will explore vocal workouts as a group to strengthen all these areas of the voice and provide accessible workouts to do at home between sessions.

Class 3

Improv The Moment

Improv’s greatest lesson is to stay in the moment. Be challenged to let your body & mind do the speaking without letting your thoughts get in the way. Actors will focus on listening & reacting in order to find the hidden gems in what has already been developed. We will work around the Negative Space searching for discoveries & connections in the worlds we create.
