It is highly recommended that you have a printer for this program to print out the short scenes and or monologues. However it is not necessary, as it is good practice to have the students write out their line so it helps them memorize.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been in the acting industry since a very young child, acting in theatre for years.
From there, I went on to study film acting through coaches in LA and London.
I have taught over 2000 actors and have helped them to successfully prepare for their careers in acting. On average, 80% of my students have gone on to book work in film, tv and commercials.
My classes are interactive as I feel hands on learning in acting IS the only way. Students will learn through my various programs how to analyze and score scripts, build characters, relationship development, improv, auditioning techniques and method acting techniques.
We will work on both scenes and monologues.(depending on the course)
I am connected in the media world, as a global reputable talent agent and notable acting teacher, to help guide you in the right direction to ensure you get the best out of this course and beyond.
You deserve the red carpet. Let me help teach you the skills necessary to get there. Reviews
