What actually happens in the classes?
In the Acting for Confidence & Fun Class we start with a warm up followed by group work. Students then learn different acting techniques e.g. characterisation, building suspense or tension, voice work etc. It varies every week and I use a mix of scripts and improv to teach the skills.
