Whether you’re an aspiring actor, director or you just like movies you will love learning what it takes to be a great screen actor. It’s much different than acting on stage! 

In this 12 part course, we teach the basic building blocks that make a great screen performance. You’ll be amazed what you can learn on your own at home, even without interactive coaching. This course can be done by individuals or co-ops and you don’t need anything except your computer and smartphone. We give weekly exercises to work on your skills and students prepare a short monologue throughout the course. The course is taught by lifelong actor and filmmaker Damon Evans and he is joined by a professional actor as well as some students in studio to demonstrate all the fun exercises. Sign up today and find out how you can be a great screen actor or actress!
