Observe
A Class
All actors are required to observe one of the ongoing classes. Potential students will have the opportunity to watch professional actors perform scenes in costume, using props and applying the tools used in classic scene study work. They will see scenes from well-known films, plays and television shows with Bell giving a thorough critique after all first works.
Studio
Class Description
The studio teaches scene studio and character analysis. The objective of all classes is to teach actors the technique, its terminology, how to break down a scene, develop a character and implement the tools, - overall objective, scene objective, obstacles, substitution, place and moment before, inner objects, line between the lines, prior circumstances, primary emotion, beats and actions. Archetypes will also be used when helpful. Using props and costumes, scenes are performed once, notes are given and actors do the scene the following week making the suggested changes in a rework. Once a rework is done, actors will be paired with a new scene partner and assigned a new scene. All classes meet once a week for three hours and the cost is $211.25/month

About TBell
Robb Hudspeth
In those 5 years I’ve booked over 50 projects, mostly leads and supporting roles (no extra work) and I have to give full credit to my work with TBell. She doesn’t accept “good”. She wants her students work to be UNDENIABLE
The Scientist (2020), Prepper (2016), Murder Made Me Famous (2015-2018), The Book of Job (2019)

She took me from square one, to now being a full-time actor. One of the best decisions I made in my career was studying with her.

Tamarah Murley
Top casting directors continue to call me in repeatedly because of the level of work and essence of character I bring to the audition. I learned to do this from Theresa.

April Hartman
Years ago when I was looking for an acting coach, I was told by many….”If you want to work, go to Theresa because her actors work

Drew Waters
I studied with other coaches, but never received the willingness from them to take the time to break the scene down, find each beat, help me discover who the characters are, and what substitutions and surroundings work. Thank you for making me who I am today, T.
True Detective (2015), NCIS: Los Angeles (2018), Bones (2015), Friday Night Lights (2008-2011)
Jack Elliott
Theresa Bell is one of the most prolific teachers of the art of Acting that I’ve ever known. Believe me, I’ve studied with a few. More than prolific at her art, she’s also one of the strongest and most interesting people I know and she brings those qualities out in the people she teaches.
The Rolling Soldier (2015), Curb Your Enthusiasm (2017), Gunslingers (2015), What Would Teddy Do? (2016)
