Screen Acting Masterclass 

This is a unique opportunity for Playbox members to work with an industry expert, and to gain skills and insight into the rigours and challenges of acting on screen.

Your workshop will include preparing for an online, or in person, screen audition. Participants should have prepared a modern speech, that is appropriate to their playing age. This speech should be no longer than 60 seconds in length.

There will also be exploration of what to expect on the floor of a TV of film set, as well as discussion into the differences between acting for stage v acting for screen.

The workshop will be suitable for both experienced, and unexperienced, actors.
