THE COMMON MISTAKES
In this fantastic interview Howard Fine takes actors through the Common Mistakes. This video is a must for any performer who is looking to improve their technique and book more work. This video was initially live-streamed by the amazing people at Casting Networks (the largest and most commonly used actor-directory in the world).
LIVE INTERVIEW AND Q & A
This interview was recorded on 8 May 2020, during the global lock-down resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. Howard Fine was approached by the Equity Foundation (representing Australian and New Zealand actors) to see if he would participate in a live conversation with their actors. Howard immediately said yes and the following insightful interview was staged for two weeks later. Equity members talked to Howard about his training methodology, technique and industry advice.
‘IN CONVERSATION’ INTERVIEWS
Pulling from the many friends, colleagues and professional connections he has made over the years in Los Angeles, Howard hosts a regular ‘In Conversation’ series of interviews with leading agents, managers, casting directors, producers, publicists and actors. The interviews are candid, intimate, off-the-cuff and full of practical, useful advice and industry anecdotes. We shall be updating this library on a regular basis, but to watch each ‘In Conversation’ streamed live, as it happens from LA please like the Howard Fine Acting Studio Los Angeles Facebook page or look for announcements on the Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia Facebook page.

EIGHT STEPS LECTURE EXCERPTS
Below are three excerpts from Howard Fine’s famous Eight Steps Lecture. The complete lecture lasts for over two hours and forms the corner stone of the award-winning techniques we champion. These excerpts provide an insight in to the fundamental philosophies that underpin the work we do and The Studio’s approach to acting. Howard frequently delivers his lecture in person and a version of it features in a number of our primary classes. These recordings were made at a packed theatre in Melbourne as Howard delivered his lecture in a public event for the first time in Australia.
