Acting Taster Classes


A beginner-level group workshop introducing voice, movement, script work, improvisation and character development through practical acting exercises.
About this course
This one-off workshop introduces core acting techniques through practical exercises in voice, movement, improvisation and script work. Participants practise developing believable characters and performing in front of others, with activities structured for learners at different levels of experience. The session takes place in a group setting and also provides an overview of how the provider’s acting classes are organised. Participants can discuss the acting industry and possible progression routes with the tutor.
What you'll learn
- Apply fundamental techniques in voice and movement
- Use improvisation exercises as part of acting practice
- Work with scripted material
- Develop and portray believable characters
- Perform in front of other participants
Is this course right for you?
The class is designed for complete beginners and people with some previous acting experience. As a practical group taster, it involves taking part in acting exercises and performing in front of others rather than observing a demonstration.
- Suitable for learners exploring acting for the first time
- Useful for comparing possible next-step acting courses
Before you go
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement.
- No equipment or other items need to be brought.
- The taster may be attended more than once, including with a different focus or tutor.
