Chapter By Chapter

Till then - we wrap with:

The next round of classes will be up by Friday April 8!

Memorization is not required. These are NOT scene study classes. The focus is on helping you to build your craft, strengthen your intuition, and return to why you fell in love with acting in the first place, playing, through character.

Learn HOW TO FIND WHAT TO ACT by leaving yourself alone and opening up to the clues embedded in every text.

The 1-3 scenes Tim teaches from will be sent a few hours prior to your scheduled class via email, along with your Zoom link & some background research. Selected scenes vary chapter to chapter.

We limit class to 10 working actors.

We work out of Tim's book AUDITION FOR THE CAREER, NOT THE JOB, using the tools that best apply to each scene and chapter, always taking you one step further on the evolution of your craft.

When class is sold out, we open two non-working audit spots for $25 each. You can always add yourself early, and will get the priority call the day of that class. If you are still available, you'll get a followup email with the materials and log-in information, and we'll invoice you through Paypal.

When someone cancels unexpectedly, we check in first with the actors who have already added themselves to the shortlist.

SAVE YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAIL: you'll need it to cancel no later than 24 hours prior to any scheduled class. If you cancel frequently, you may be asked to leave class till you can make a commitment.

GIFT: When you purchase one class, you're welcome to join us for the other class that week (same Zoom link). Priority always goes to those registered for that particular day and time, and we limit to 10 working actors.

WANT TO SHARE MATERIAL? Send in 1 short (1-3 page) scene you want to work on, as class material. Do this **before** the Saturday prior to that week's focus, and send it to assistant@timphillipsstudio.com.

🙌🙌 Thank you! WHO LOVES YA? ~ TIM PHILLIPS STUDIO

Tim Phillips has been conducting professional ongoing on-camera classes for 40 years. He was one of the first to recognize auditioning as an art unto itself, and through love of acting and scene study, has developed training designed:

to get actors jobs at every point in their careers
to train free & independent contractors

He continues to help actors, directors, writers, and future audition coaches hone the skills needed to get better, more sustainable work in the arts and industry. Actors who are a great fit in Tim's world are those committed to professional standards of excellence and are always prepared.

Start with what you're great at. Coach and prep your current auditions, past auditions you want to revisit or refine, or material you know you have to be seen for.

If you're developing material for your reels, bring that into your Private Coaching. Tim is dedicated to your ownership of your craft, which includes you knowing who you are, how you're seen, what you're good at, and how to show up prepared and ready to play, able to take adjustments on a dime.

In-person classes are on hold. Join Tim on Zoom instead, where you can expand your auditioning skills by working in depth and in closeup. See great results, changeability and improvement in real time. Request to record your work.

Tim Phillips Studio is providing 30 minute private phone coaching sessions for all our health and wellbeing, & conducting weekly classes via Zoom. There are no plans to return to in-person teaching at this time.

"This is the hedonism school of acting. If it feels good, do it. If you're not having fun, no one is." - Tim Phillips

What to Expect: Whether you're an actor who hopes to be known for one type or brand, or you're someone who has made it your mission to explore the full range of representative styles available in film or television, it's incredibly important to know what's being handed to you when your moments of opportunity come.

These classes are designed to:

'un-confuse' you (no more "I don't know...")
expose you to a range of style guides and parameters
teach you to recognize the tone of a particular writer, director, genre, or audition and proceed accordingly
give you a space where you can let loose fearlessly
and use the most actor-empowering, character-empowering, trust-creating tools available today.

After 40 years of coaching everyone from celebrities to teenagers just starting out, Tim Phillips has seen it all.

experience transformation through character.
