At a young age it is vital that the right habits and skills are given to bright young minds ensuring they understand the difference between theatre and film. Some habits are hard to break and hard work and developing confidence is essential to a young actor’s ability and skill. In these classes, young actors will learn how to navigate themselves through scene work, delivering naturalism for camera, the foundations of acting techniques and modern approaches, audition preparation and script analysis. Like most things in life, hard work and discipline is what makes an actor good at what they do.
