ANSWER BOX!
Thank you for submitting questions to last week's Question Box!

What will the price structure be for playwriting classes?
Playwriting Classes at Levels 1, 2 and 3 will have a class fee of $495. The Studio Practice Playwriting Seminar taught by Donna de Matteo will be priced at $575.
As an international student, I am concerned about my speech - not only pronunciation but also intonation. Will the new program offer an American Intonation Speech class?
Intonation will be an essential part of the Speech curriculum. It will be addressed in Speech classes at Levels 2 and 3.
Currently in Acting on Camera classes we never start shooting right away, as it sometimes takes 30 minutes for the equipment to be set up. Also, we are not able to watch our scenes at home, unlike students from other schools with film acting classes. How will HB manage these concerns?
On Camera Labs will be extended to 3 hours in length and class sizes will be kept smaller to allow students more personalized attention and opportunities to work. Additionally, there will be time in the space before class for video technicians to set up the equipment, which they will be encouraged to do. Thank you for your suggestion that we make class footage available for home viewing - we will take this request into consideration.
