Develop Stronger Screen Acting Skills

Screen Acting demands specific skills and knowledge. Screen acting courses provide actors with essential and specialist on-camera acting skills. While acting courses inform general acting technique and methodology, on camera acting classes and screen acting courses, train actors to apply what they have learned to working on camera.

Film sets can be daunting places for anyone, but especially for new actors. It can be difficult for actors to transfer core acting skills onto this new setting. Film acting involves more specific work, delivered realistically (as opposed to theatrically) and convincingly in front of the camera. Additionally, it requires that actors convey deep powerful emotions within narrow margins of precision. These are specialist skills ordinarily learned in screen acting courses such as the only currently offered at the Studio.

What is true for film acting is also true for movie auditions. With regards to the casting process in general, many things fall outside the actor’s control. Such as for example, whether or not you are the right fit; or do you look right for the part; is the ‘chemistry’ right between you and your on screen partner. If you attend regular screen acting classes or take an on camera technique course, it will help you eliminate factors that influence your performance on the day.
