Acting for Camera and Stage Classes

This class is designed to train young students in professional acting technique. The class will have a syllabus complete with acting terminology, and a focus on preparing students to audition in both theatrical and commercial/film contexts. Actors will be assigned scene work, stage and film monologues, as well as commercials. Training will focus on building confidence in a supportive environment and developing a greater depth of knowledge and skill. This class is for teens ages 12 to 18.

In addition to stage work, Jacquie has appeared on-camera for commercials (Blue Shield, Youthful Gold), industrials (Safeway, AAA), television (I Almost Got Away With It), and film (The Game, Who Wants to Go to Heaven). As a performer and educator, Jacquie toured schools throughout the state bringing history to life with Live Oakes Educational Theater’s Complete Condensed History of California and Coyote Tales. She has directed student productions and taught acting and improvisational performance for San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, Town Hall Theatre, Girls Evolve and Adventure Theater.
