An actor mostly gets work via auditions. In this course we prepare you with the skills of the actor - from analysing scripts, to confidence in front of the camera, to vocal development, and more. We also teach you how to audition. Then it's up to you to source auditions and start applying - and we teach you how to do that, as well!
There are also many skills you acquire in this course that are transferrable to a whole range of other jobs, including creative thinking skills, communication skills, presentation skills, team work skills, and many others.
