Are online acting classes worth it?

Online acting classes are worth it if you want to pursue acting and are unable to attend acting classes in person. With online video calling platforms like Zoom and Skype, you can now study acting with the best in the industry from the comfort of your own home! Many reputable acting coaches—including those right here on Lessons—now offer online acting classes and teach the same methods and techniques that they teach in the studio.

Do you need acting classes to become an actor?

You technically don't need acting classes to become an actor. However, acting classes can help you gain confidence, learn new methods and techniques, analyze scenes and scripts, and build new industry connections and relationships. Acting classes can also teach you about the business side of acting, which is as important as acting itself.

How long do acting classes take?

Acting class length varies depending on the studio and the type of class. Some studios have 2-hour classes, while others have classes lasting 3 to 5 hours. Depending on the location, acting classes may be offered in several formats, such as ongoing weekly classes, weekend intensive workshops, and training programs that can run anywhere from 2 to 8+ weeks.

What skills do you need to be an actor?

While the necessary skillset varies depending on the type of acting you pursue (think Broadway theater vs. TV commercials vs. film), all actors need a broad range of skills to portray the expressions and emotions of a character so effectively that they temporarily transport the audience to a world where the actor is indeed that character. This often involves:

Memorizing lines and stage cues
Analyzing scripts and scenes
Developing a character's emotions and physical expressions
Working with other actors, directors, and production crews
Adapting to unexpected changes and situations
Speaking clearly and adjusting one's voice to align with the character
Learning and developing different acting methods and techniques
Being comfortable in front of an audience or camera

Michael has a very insightful eye for reading copy and finding details and truths I hadn't noticed. In my time with him, he was able to see things in the script and then show them to me in a way I could understand. Relatable is the best word to describe him, I think. He brings the truth to a place I can see it and make it my own. He doesn't just tell me how it should be said or played; that would be too easy and I don't think I would have learned anything from it. The way he teaches you isn't just regurgitating information or reciting lines from a text book, but he asks you questions about what YOU think and how YOU feel about the character or situation etc. Causing you to see it for yourself. That's the most valuable lesson to me: seeing it for myself, and Michael does that for us.

My experience was very informative, enlightening and encouraging. I learned how to overcome my fears of acting in a movie and stage play officially for the first time. I learned technical language and timing on doing film and stage. I learned the difference of delivery between film and stage. I also liked my instructor MsMichelle. She had a lot of patience and encouraged all of us in the cast when we didn't feel like we were doing the task at hand.
