Feeling Lost and Uncertain in Your Acting Career?
I know that it’s hard to feel confident in your acting career. You submit auditions and then never hear a word…spinning your wheels and fearing the worst. You train in a vacuum of other actors, not knowing how impactful your performance would be in a real set environment.
You’ve trained hard and built up your craft but you still face an impermeable wall between your talent and consistent work.
Train with Confidence.
When you train with me, I’ll lift the veil on the other side of the process. I’ll be candid with you about what makes a great audition and a memorable on-set experience. I will ensure that your technical knowledge and set know-how, protects and preserves your well-prepared performance.
Studying with me will make you a more potent, confident, and well-rounded actor who understands the process from all sides. Ultimately, you’ll feel great about the audition you submit and trust that you’ve done all you could to book the role.
Television Director, Aprill Winney
I Understand.
I have tremendous empathy for actors and the struggles they face. Trust me, directors face a lot of uncertainty and rejection as well. I get it. The agony and the ecstasy of a creative pursuit is not for the faint of heart. It is my empathy and respect for actors, plus my passion for shaping their performance that has driven me to create these acting courses.
When I am casting an episode, the amount of talent I see for every role is overwhelming. Once the casting decisions are made, I’m always left with a strong desire to connect with the talented actors that have auditioned for me. I want to encourage them and guide them. These courses are my way of doing just that. Let’s connect and grow together as I teach acting from my unique, directorial perspective.
Endorsments From Actors On Set.
“Working with Aprill’s direction is a breath of fresh air inside of a very crowded vehicle. Anyone who has had to act on a TV/Film set, knows the intricate requirements involved and Aprill was so integral in helping me have confidence in and balance the technicalities with relaxed performance. She is truly attentive, supportive, collaborative, makes the actor feel seen/heard, and most importantly, I think, helps the actor feel comfortable enough to play and ask questions in a very high pressure environment. Truly priceless.”
-Fiona Rene
“Some directors tell you exactly what they want. They tell you how to feel or ask you to smile, laugh, cry. They strip away the discovery that creates the best art. Not Aprill. She inspires you to dig deep and find “your” truth in a scene. Working with her was an absolute joy and I will never forget how she was able to unlock a well of emotion in me by simply asking me a question. Aprill is the real deal.”
-Michael Vlamis
“I love and trust Aprill completely. Any adjustment or idea that comes from Aprill about performance is 100% genuine, correct, interesting and adds value to a
performance and show. She truly understands actors, how to speak their language, and how to convey what would best or interesting or elevating to a scene so that everyone wins with a wonderful final product. She understands the characters in the story deeply and quickly. She’s amazing under pressure and a kind, warm, lovely, safe, fun, collaborative energy to be around.”
-Ginger Gonzaga
