How To Act: Boot Camp (10am-1:30pm, Monday 9 March-Friday 13 March, Hackney Showroom, London)
This intensive screen acting Boot Camp will give you clarity, confidence and craft. 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.
Day 1 - Textual Analysis
Learn practical approaches to breaking down screen material, uncovering what is on the page and how to bring it to life with clarity and precision.
Day 2 - Screen Duologues
Work in pairs on duologues tailored to your casting, exploring connection, listening and truthful exchange on screen.
Day 3 - Non-Verbal Scenes
Discover the power of what is unsaid. Through target work, sharpen your confidence in action-led, non-verbal scenes.
Day 4 - Preparing To Shoot
Prepare scenes as you would for a professional shoot, refining choices, adjusting for camera and learning how to arrive on set ready to do your best work.
Day 5 - Mock Casting Auditions
Put everything into practice in a mock casting audition, working in person with a professional casting director who will provide feedback.
You will leave with a sharper craft, greater confidence and a clearer understanding of how to work effectively on screen.
How To Act is led by Acting Coach Andrew Whyment - Masters Of The Air (Apple TV), Jerk (BBC), My Father’s Shadow (Element Pictures) - and is designed for actors who want to sharpen their approach to film and television scripts across different genres and styles. Classes are open to professional actors at all stages, whether preparing for auditions, building a showreel or stepping onto set for the first time. The focus is always on giving you clear, usable tools.
To participate you must be over eighteen and have at least one professional acting credit. Each class is limited to twelve participants. Bookings are non-refundable.
