How to get the most out of acting class

“Once you stop learning, you start dying”- Albert Einstein

Learning, and being in class, is the best thing any actor can do. Never think you’ve “got it” – the craft of acting is elusive, every-changing and developing, as are you, and therefore, you will never be able to fully master the craft. Which I think is wonderful! So, get your butt into acting class, and keep going. If you’re not in class, keep reading, go see films, go see plays, and if you’re poor – then Google.

As an actor it is VITAL that you work on your craft consistently. In order to build on your technique, gain flexibility with your craft, and become a working actor, you need to be working on your acting daily. We created StageMilk Drama Club to provide you with the opportunity to do just that.

Together, we’ll work on our craft every month: submitting scenes and monologues, getting personal feedback from industry professionals, doing live play readings, Q&As with industry experts, discussions in the Facebook group, as well as learning from all the exclusive content available on the platform. It’s kind of like acting class, but WAY cheaper, with 24/7 access, guidance available whenever you need it, and also covers the business side of the craft (which is often overlooked.) It’s one thing to be a talented actor, it’s another to be a working, career actor.
