Acting with Adeola R.

WORK WITH TV AND BROADWAY'S ADEOLA ROLE! Hi my name is Adeola Role and Id love to be your acting or speech coach! Ive coached acting and public speaking students from ages 4 to 54 for over 5 years while also nurturing my professional performance career. I recently guest starred on the television shows “The Blacklist” and “Pose”. I had the privilege of performing in the ensemble and understudying the role of Hermione Granger in the original Broadway cast of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”. I also performed in the Broadway production of "Eclipsed", starring Oscar winner Lupita N’yongo and played the female lead in the Off- Broadway production of “Invisible Thread”, directed by Tony Winner, Diane Paulus. With my rich experience and comprehensive approach I will help you strengthen your acting technique and make you more competitive in the professional market!I hold an MFA in Acting from ART/MXAT Harvard University, and a BA in Theater and Performance Studies from the University of California, Berkeley. I’ve trained not only with the United States’ leading drama professors, but also with Russia’s preeminent theater practitioners at the top acting university in the world, the Moscow Art Theater School. *** Lesson Details *** To me, acting is an accessible, practical craft. It doesn’t require that we commune with otherworldly forces or summon up powerful memories to induce a “performative state,” but simply that we actively express well-articulated emotions moment-to-moment. How do we do that? We identify a character’s given circumstances and desires, and build his or her physicality and voice. Next, we hone our fundamental ability to pursue dramatic objectives. The result is a nuanced, layered performance. The best actors are those who can become the most vulnerable, both physically and emotionally, to their audiences. Given this, it only makes sense that my training praxis is tailored to your personal progress. Together, we’ll adapt the curriculum I’ve devised to your specific needs; for instance, I’ll teach you vocal production in a way somewhat different from the way I’d teach it to any other student, as your swiftest path to mastery will naturally be unique to you. We’ll work to strengthen your vocal quality, physical dexterity, text analysis skills, acting technique, and general awareness. Needless to say, I expect my students to push themselves to new levels-- this is necessary to substantially grow as an actor. Below is an example 60 minute audition monologue prep session (adaptable to a student’s needs, of course): 10 mins: Vocal & physical warm-up 2 mins: Monologue presentation 10 mins: Text analysis, dramaturgy 30 mins: Work monologue (start/stop), one full run of monologue 8 mins: Clarify analysis, notes A student who trains with me for 3 to 6 months can expect to develop shaper emotional and technical texture onstage, as well as working knowledge of such techniques as Meisner, Stanislavsky ("As-if", Method of Physical Action), Practical Aesthetics, Viewpoints, Suzuki, Grotowski, Shakespeare, Alexander, and even Stage Combat, should instruction therein be desired. You’ll also build an audition repertoire, expand your familiarity with major playwrights, and learn more about the business side of "the business" (e.g. auditioning, finding an agent or manager, acting resources, building your website, etc.). ** Specialties *** Acting for Film, TV, Theater, Commercials, and Voiceover Audition Technique Voice/Speech/ Dialect Public Speaking Light Career Counseling
