Mastering the Craft: On-Camera Acting Classes with Elizabeth De Razzo

Mastering the Craft: On-Camera Acting Classes with Elizabeth De Razzo

The camera never lies—but it definitely reveals. Great on-camera acting is not about performing bigger; it’s about performing truer. As a working actress with years of experience in television, film, and theater, I’ve learned that what audiences connect with most is authenticity: the honesty that lives in your eyes, the intention beneath your words, and the emotional truth behind every moment.

My on-camera acting classes are designed to help actors—at every stage of their journey—build that kind of grounded, compelling, camera-ready presence.

Why On-Camera Technique Matters

Acting for the stage and acting for the screen share the same foundation, but the execution is completely different. The camera picks up everything: a thought, a flicker of doubt, a moment of stillness.

Successful screen actors understand how to:

  • Deliver layered, nuanced performances with subtlety

  • Work comfortably within tight framing and close-ups

  • Maintain continuity from take to take

  • Navigate marks, blocking, and technical constraints

  • Adjust performance for different genres and shooting styles

My classes teach actors how to bridge these worlds—bringing emotional depth from theater training into the precise, intimate landscape of film and television.

What You Will Learn in My Classes

My curriculum blends industry-tested tools with practical on-set experience. Students will explore:

1. Emotional Truth & Inner Life

We work on connecting deeply to your character’s intention, needs, stakes, and emotional world so your performance feels alive, honest, and grounded.

2. Audition Technique & Self-Tapes

The majority of auditions today happen on camera. You’ll learn how to create professional, dynamic self-tapes—from framing and lighting to delivering a captivating moment under pressure.

3. Scene Study for Film & TV

You’ll break down scenes the way working actors do: analyzing beats, building relationships, crafting intentions, and understanding pacing.

4. On-Set Skills & Professional Workflow

I share real experiences from set: hitting marks, navigating blocking with multiple cameras, understanding continuity, collaborating with directors, and staying present through multiple takes.

5. Character Development

From physicality and voice to emotional arcs, we will shape character work that is rich, layered, and fully realized—no matter the genre.

6. Confidence in Front of the Camera

With recorded exercises and playback reviews, you’ll gain the comfort and self-awareness to deliver your best performance every time.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe acting is a place where craft meets courage.

As actors, we reveal the human condition—messy, beautiful, complicated, hilarious, heartbreaking. My classes are a safe, supportive space where you can experiment, fail, take risks, discover nuance, and meet the unexpected moments that make a performance unforgettable.

My goal is to help you grow—not only as an actor, but as a storyteller.
