“Now that I’ve completed the course, I definitely feel like I have a far better understanding of the mechanics of what it is to be an actor. Over the duration of the course you really learn to take ownership of the title, “Actor”— and it’s more empowering to call yourself an Actor, or a Performer, or an Artist— or whatever title fits you best.”
— Nick Steain
