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 two daughters attend dance classes at Soulfire Studios. They are 11 and 13. They have been students at Soulfire for several years. Throughout the years that we have chosen Soulfire, the girls have taken ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, and modern classes. I have watched their dance skill level and fitness level grow steadily. The best part of Soulfire, in our opinion, is the teaching staff. The teachers here are professional dancers, so are very knowledgeable and skilled. The ballet teachers have ABT certifications, which I love. I also like how the teachers treat the students. They correct the kids, push them to do their best, challenge them to improve, yet do all of this with kindness. I also appreciate the fact that the studio is sensitive to keeping music and costumes appropriate to age level. This is important to us as parents. The students are open and accept new kids readily. The owners of the studio are friendly, and always available to answer questions and just to talk and build relationship with parents. There are many choices in our city for dance instruction. I continue to choose Soulfire Studios. We have never been anything but pleased with the dance education our daughters are receiving.
