Course Description

Overview

Learning Your Lines & Getting Into Character

Acting is a craft, just like any other art form. Painters develop their own unique strokes; writers have their own toolbox full of tricks to create a story. It’s the same with acting. This course is not based on a specific acting technique like Meissner or Method. We as actors should never be limited to just one technique only. You should explore and take what works best for you from the various techniques available. 

During this course, we invite you to join us on this creative journey on how to learn your lines and get into character.

This course consists of the following lessons – and more:

  • What you do on set will most probably l be different to what you did in the audition room.
  • Forget everything you knew about your character and start from scratch.
  • Other characters are just as important as yours
  • Pre-recording the other character’s lines to learn yours.
  • Steal from the other character’s lines to remember which line comes next.
  • Use your imagination when it comes to characterization  
  • Meditate & make decisions regarding your character
  • Find your character’s spirit animal to help you with your character’s mannerisms & characteristics.  
  • And finally, find your character’s song to help you get back into character on set

We truly hope that you will enjoy this course and learn a lot! We believe that you will knock their socks off with your performance!
