Greg Braun – Core Classes: “Actor’s Gym”, “On Camera Audition”, “The Actor’s Journey”
Hi. My name is Lyena Yonekura. I am very interested in Greg Braun’s class. I live in Tokyo and will be going to LA next week 11/12-18th. Would it possible to audit one of his classes during that time? I am thinking of going back to LA in the near future and have heard great things about Greg Braun from my friend Roberta Wallach.
Please advise as to what I should do if auditing a class is possible.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Hi Lyena,
Thank you for your message, and I’m happy that Roberta recommended us to you – please send her my love! Of course you can audit a class while you’re in town – I definitely recommend coming to “The Actor’s Gym” if that fits into your schedule. It’s an excellent group class experience and you can participate. It meets every Wednesday at 11AM and Friday at 12 Noon. No need to make an appointment, you can just show up. Let me know if you have any questions – otherwise, I look forward to meeting you very soon!
Sincerely,
Greg Braun
Greg will teach an approach toward character development that legendary actors follow. There are many acting teachers who embellish their resumes. Greg does not. You can also make demo tapes you can plug into a website. These tapes you can use to show people what you can do.
