"I've worked with so many actors who can easily describe a bowl of fruit, but don't know how to let the audience taste it." - Brian Cutler
"As a former student at many other acting studios & workshops I was never taped on camera. BCAS offers a unique & complementary option of single camera footage that I have incorporated in real time into my professional demo reel. This concession has increased my audition volume and I now receive 8 – 10 auditions per week and I get 2 – 3 bookings per month. Involvement in the studio has been the key to my ongoing achievements." CMS Visit his IMDb:

LEADERSHIP

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our goal at BCAS is to help you develop the skills you need to continue being a working actor. We have a demanding curriculum with all original material that prepares you for auditions or any jobs that you book. You will be consistently challenged with emotionally complex and significant dialogue. Whether cold reading or doing memorized scripts, this skill prepares you for proper storytelling. After all…we are storytellers.
Ongoing study and preparation make our students accountable to themselves and others. “Your craft will support you when your knees won’t.” The foundation of our studio is simple, we believe in the process of doing- “Learning to act for the camera without a camera is like learning to ride a horse without a horse. It simply cannot be done.”
​
All classes are filmed in extreme close-up, allowing our actors to become comfortable, masterfully controlling their energy and movement which the subtleties of film require.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Finally got to use what I'm going for! - - I had to zero in on two things we learned in class: #1 turning my nerves into energy, #2 even though we had the scenario worked out, we had to take our cues from the judge what we did, so active listening was key!! They loved what we did and I had a great time (on set)!
Thanks for help getting me able to have my first on screen speaking role!!!
