This course breaks down the soap opera and all the small composite parts that make it work effectively. The programme is especially important for those students who have recently broken into acting.
The characters you grow up with, the families who you welcome into your home every day, the shows that run for decades: there is no phenomenon that quite compares to the soap opera. In this guide, students will learn the tricks of the trade from a soap actor herself; the secret to the genre's success and techniques for multi-camera acting they won't find in a drama school. By the end of this course, students will not only gain an understanding of the fundamental aspects needed to approach soap acting with the correct technique but also enhance their performance within this field of performance. Students should regard this course as an opportunity to develop as actors and get some inside knowledge of this industry along the way.
