Lights, Camera, Confidence: On-Camera Acting for Tweens
“Thanks to Carly, our daughter booked her first BIG lead — we can’t recommend Born To Act Studios enough!” -Jennifer & Vale Cooper (Happy Face, I was Honey Boo Boo)
8-Week On-Camera Acting for tweens (Ages 9–13)
For young actors ready to feel confident on camera and experience what a real film set is actually like!
This is not a drop-in kids’ class. It’s a small, focused group (max 10 students) where tweens learn:
How film acting differs from theatre
How to feel natural and grounded on camera
Professional set etiquette and vocabulary
Focus, presence, and emotional truth
Over 8 weeks, we build real screen skills — then apply them on a fully produced shoot day with a professional crew.
Limited to 10 spots.
What We Build Over 8 Weeks
On-camera fundamentals (eye lines, framing, subtlety)
Breaking theatre habits that don’t translate to film
Emotional truth and presence
Set vocabulary and professionalism
Confidence that carries beyond acting
Who This Is For
This course is ideal for tweens who:
Are transitioning from theatre to film
Are new to screen acting but eager to learn
Want to feel more confident speaking and performing
Are curious about how film sets actually operate
No experience required — just willingness and curiosity.
The Final Shoot Day
In our final week, we step onto a real set.
Each student:
Has a role
Works with a professional crew
Experiences blocking, marks, sound, and camera setups
Walks away with edited footage
“Oner” from Last Years summer camp
A "oner" in film is a single, uninterrupted, and long take that captures a scene in real-time without any visible physical cuts. It typically involves complex choreography of actors, camera movement, and lighting, designed to immerse the audience and create a sense of continuous, live action, such as in 1917 or Goodfellas.
