How To Act: Boot Camp is a five-day intensive for working actors looking to build their screen acting toolkits and nail self-tapes.
Across five half-day sessions, you’ll train inside a tightly structured, practical programme that teaches screen acting technique for auditions, self-tapes and professional sets. In a generous and supportive environment, you’ll rehearse scenes off camera, put work down on tape between sessions and receive direct, practical feedback on what’s working and what can be improved.
Each day builds a different part of your working toolkit, so by the end of the week you’re not just more confident, you’re ready to work with sharper craft and a clearer understanding of how to act effectively on screen.

How To Act: On Camera is a five-day intensive for working actors looking to develop their screen acting and get comfortable on camera.
Across five half-day sessions, you’ll work in a focused, workshop environment with professional camera equipment. Each day centres on a new scene, giving you the space to properly apply, test and deepen the tools introduced at How To Act: Boot Camp through sustained, practical work.
This is not about creating showreel material. The focus is on craft. On experimenting, refining and developing the level of precision required to achieve excellence on screen. You’ll interrogate and adjust your work in real time, building a sharper understanding of what actually translates on camera and why. Expect direct, detailed direction, and the space to take risks, make bold choices and sharpen your instincts under pressure.
