“Acting is not about being someone different. It’s finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.” - Meryl Streep.
The camera lens is your best friend, but only if you know how to ignore it! Screen Acting Courses - Level 1 is designed for those with basic experience of acting, expanding on your knowledge and understanding of principles explored in the Screen Acting Introduction course. You will develop your relationship with the lens, understanding how to use it to your benefit as an actor.
Through this course you will understand what a screen actor’s life and roles and responsibilities are when working within the industry as well as what is expected when performing on set. Work at accessing and tailoring your internal, emotional core to suit the role and story through selected scenes, with instant playback and feedback on your work.
