AAS features 5 levels of classes: INTRODUCTORY, LEVEL 1 (Beginner), LEVEL 2 (Intermediate), LEVEL 3 (Advanced) and LEVEL 4 (Master Class). AAS 6-week compressed Term classes operate twice a week during daytime hours and are split between on camera audition technique and scene study. Said study units are taught exclusively by the same instructor for the full 12 classes. All classes at AAS are on camera. A DVD will be provided on DAY 1 to all actors for in class performance documentation and take home review. Instructor and guest artist notes are documented on individual DVD's for continued outside learning and development. Only professional episodic and feature film scripts are used. Daytime Term classes do not feature a 13th class adjudication. Class 12 is considered the close of the term and will be attended by either the School Director or a designated Industry Guest. On this day, Industry Grades will be assigned to determine actor placement for continued training at the school. Adjudications feature a closed-door policy, open only to AAS faculty, staff and immediate friends and/or family of participating actors. All adjudications feature immediate feedback and commentary related to individual performances as well as a brief Q + A at the close of the class. A Final Report Card will be completed by every instructor and issued to all participating actors. Final grades are also used to determine class placement for actors continuing to train at AAS.
