Acting - Are You a Team Player?
If you have a passion for the performing arts and have enrolled in one of the acting schools near you, expect a career that is people-centred. First you’ll need people skills to engage with casting panels.
Some people enrol for acting courses with a view to conquering Hollywood. Or your aim might be to tread the boards or appear on TV in millions of living rooms. Depending on the acting schools and drama teachers in your area, you may have the option of specialising in a subfield, and taking some acting courses and not others, from the very beginning of your training.
Empathy is a human quality that people define in lots of different ways. A simple definition is that it is the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. It’s the ability to understand how others are feeling and why they behave in the ways that they do. That’s pretty much what you will be called upon to do as an actor.
Corpsing: What You Probably Won’t Learn in Your Acting Courses
Without the phenomenon of corpsing, TV out-take shows would be a lot shorter. There’s something infectiously funny about actors, TV presenters and other public speakers getting the giggles. And the more they try to control themselves, the more helpless they become.
Give the same script to a dozen actors and every single one of them will play the same role differently. That’s partly a matter of individual acting style, but there’s more to it.
I have completed many part time acting courses over the last few years and I can honestly say that this course ranks as the best. The course is well structured, but the time went so quick that I wish the course was longer. Brian is an excellent teacher, demonstrating the method acting skills to use in a clear way and encouraging the students to try them out taking risks but remaining focused on believability in the performance. Brian showed us relaxation exercises to release tension and his feedback to me was to use these exercises regularly as they will help. I would like to thank Brian for being a great teacher and to wish him and Natalie every success for the future. I recommend this course for anyone interested in method acting. Mark Williams, Gillingham, Kent

“I attended Brian’s Method Acting Boot Camp, which changed my life. Searching through the websites, I found Brian’s site about Method Acting. I had a great time in three days and enjoyed it so much - more than I thought possible. I learned things which I haven’t found on any other courses - it’s like you can see your whole future as a successful actor. I recommend Brian’s teachings if you want to dedicate yourself. Thank you so much Brian for showing me the path in my life and wish you success and happiness.” George Ivan, Essex
