Experience HB Studio’s Premier Masterclass with Emmy-nominated actor Alex Hurt – focusing on how to prepare self-tape auditions for roles in the theater – from the audience of HB's First Floor Studio.

Observer Access offers the opportunity to attend this intensive masterclass and learn through close observation of Hurt's work with participating actors. Watch as Hurt helps actors develop a practical, personal process for preparing quickly without sacrificing spontaneity, work on how to enter demanding text, make strong choices, and build enough of a foundation to let go when the camera turns on. Topics explored will also include scale, framing, eyelines, physicality, stillness, and the relationship to the reader—finding a way to honor the size of theatrical material without “performing for the stage” on camera.

This hands-on workshop introduces actors to the safe and convincing use of prop firearms on camera. Participants will learn essential on-set safety protocols, pistol and rifle handling, and the physical techniques used to portray military and law enforcement professionals authentically. Through practical exercises and on-camera work, actors will gain experience handling prop firearms and have the opportunity to capture footage demonstrating their skills for future auditions, reels, and casting opportunities. No previous firearms experience required.
