Careers: Acting, Performing, Directing - acting classes


Expert: Phil Nemy - 10/26/2009

Question
In my search for acting classes in the DC metro area, I have found many expensive classes ($200+)that focuses on individual aspects of acting. Of course it seems as if I'll need all of them, but I could never afford that. What types of classes should I concentrate on in order to get the most out of my money?

Answer
Tracy,

Depends on what career you seek. If you want to be in film and TV, I would take acting, improvisation, and cold reading classes. If you want to act in the professional theater, I would take acting, voice, dialects, movement, and improvisation. If you want to do commercials, take a commercial acting class. If you want to work in voice-over work or animation voice work, take classes in voice-over and animation voices.

Good luck!

Phil
