The most read topics on the blog

Where to start with acting

The first three months for absolute beginners: breathing and diction, physical freedom, simple études. At this stage you are not learning a role but losing the tension you feel in front of a camera or an audience.

Stage speech and diction

Placing the voice, breath support, controlling tempo and working on stress. Clear speech is the first skill assessed in theatre, in dubbing and on a commercial shoot alike.

Acting for the camera

Unlike the stage, the camera magnifies the smallest gesture. Articles here cover shot sizes, eyeline and keeping takes consistent (continuity).

Children's and teen groups

For parents: what age to start, how classes are run, how shyness is worked with, and which documents a child needs in order to take part in a shoot.
