Beginner Script Analysis & Character Objectives
March 27 @ 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm Eastern
Uncover the truth behind the text—and behind yourself.
In this 3-hour online workshop, you’ll explore character motivation through a powerful framework rooted in personal experience and objective-driven performance. Led by SAG-AFTRA actor David Mac, participants will learn how to identify what a character wants, choose strong actions to pursue it, and ground their choices in real-life objectives—not played emotions.
Using the Motivational Force formula, you’ll reflect on your own moments of courage, conflict, and clarity to bring raw honesty to your scene work. With small-group collaboration, live coaching, and a final showcase, this workshop will leave you more connected, confident, and grounded in your artistic voice.
