ʻŌiwi Actor’s Bootcamp

Ever wished you could binge your favorite show completely in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi?

That future needs trained actors.


Led by Ioane Goodhue — professional Hawaiian actor, SAG-AFTRA board member, and nationally recognized advocate for Indigenous performance — this four-day intensive offers real, professional-level training in a safe environment built for growth. As one of the few working actors fluent in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi at this level, Ioane brings rare expertise in culturally grounded performance for stage, film, and voiceover.


You won’t just learn about acting. You’ll train like it matters — because it does.

In a space where courage is practiced and mistakes are part of the craft, you’ll develop:

  • Vocal power and precise pronunciation in Hawaiian and English

  • Emotional honesty and full character embodiment

  • Physical storytelling and commanding stage presence

  • On-camera technique and live performance discipline

  • Scene study, improvisation, and audition readiness

Through filmed scenes, repetition drills, and coached feedback, you’ll build the discipline required for real auditions, public speaking, media appearances, and performance grounded in an ʻŌiwi worldview.


You’ll leave with:

  • Confidence and control of voice and body

  • Clearer ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi delivery

  • Experience performing under professional direction

  • Portfolio-ready screen footage

Because if we want to see ourselves on screen, someone has to step into the light.
Why not you?
