We are our students' biggest fans; we love seeing them perform and use their skills. At L.S.A., we tell our students that taking videos and pictures of yourself in performance or while practicing is a great tool to go back and reflect on your abilities. However, we hold a strong stance on maintaining a respectful environment, and to that end, no recording of full classes is permitted at LeBlanc.

Parents may only record their child during class when it is their turn to perform, and they hear the word "Action!" and stop when they hear the word "Cut!". Feedback and instruction are not to be filmed and shared.

Our school is built on our unique approach to teaching, and many of the techniques we share in class are exclusive to LeBlanc. We believe that all our students learn in a safe, comfortable, and engaging way. By doing so, our students have an atmosphere for optimal learning and skill retention!

Although we all know you are online learning professionals at this point, we just want to make sure everyone is in the loop with our key virtual acting class etiquette:

• Please ensure you have a quiet space to attend class, with a strong internet connection, camera and working audio.
• Students are to attend class solo. Registered siblings in the same class may share, if necessary. Parents, we love you, but our classes are for the kids. Try and give your kid(s) proper freedom/space.
• We suggest setting up your device on a desk or tripod, and sitting in a chair that allows for good posture. You should also have the ability to stand up freely and move side-to-side for scenes that require movement.
• Please try your best to clear out all distractions, and close all other tabs and apps on your device. We expect the same amount of focus during our virtual classes as would be given to in-person sessions.
• When you come to class, please be ready to learn! This means you are sitting in a learning-conducive environment with everything you need. Although life requires us to be on the go, attending class from a vehicle or busy area can be distracting to others. If you are joining the class from a non-learning conducive environment, we will require that you audit rather than participate in the class; this means your camera and sound will stay off for the class duration so that others can learn without interruption.
• We are all missing in-person classes but industry professionals are now being cited as saying that online classes are helping to advance actors and hone their craft like never before. Let’s use this tool to our advantage and give it our all!

Our class time is valuable, and we want to make sure our students have conducive learning environments and are ready when the clock strikes. To ensure our students have the best experience possible, LeBlanc School of Acting has a strict 'Late Policy'.  

Our Late Policy means that if you are more than 10 minutes late, you will unfortunately not be allowed to participate in class and will not be let in from the Zoom waiting room.

At LeBlanc, we work hard to create exciting class plans coordinated to class time. By being late, our students lose out on key elements and education while disrupting the class flow and learning of others.

Our team is always open to working with unexpected schedule changes or appointments; they just need to be made aware ahead of time. If your child will be late, please email admin@leblancschool.com to let us know in advance.

TERM BREAK:

Time for some self care with a little rest and relaxation! Let’s refuel and come back after a short break. Our offices will be closed from Monday, May 11 - Monday, May 18, inclusive.

We’ll be back discovering mysterious techniques sooner than you think, when we return to class on Tuesday, May 19th!

Have a great break!
