Acting for Soaps: Multi-Camera Performance

skill-acquisition

Course Overview



The characters you grow up with, the families you welcome into your living room every day, the shows that run for decades and cliff-hangers that define a generation: there is no phenomenon that quite compares to soap opera. Most actors at least have a short stint on a soap, but the fast-paced, one-take world of a soap set is often something not addressed with actors-in-training. On this course you will learn the recipe to become a soap opera actor, secrets to the genre's success and techniques for multi-camera acting you won't find in a drama school.
