Acting For Soaps: Multi-Camera Performance

skill-acquisition

Course Overview



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.
