"Hi there, I just wanted to send an email to say what a wonderful time I had on your Saturday Drama Workshop last year. It was a real pleasure to work with the teachers who were all such fun! I would like to say a special thank you to Natasha for giving me a whole new perspective on life and to Glen who has given me confidence in scene reading. Thank you and Happy New Year to you all at the London Drama School!" Carly Godfrey

SCREEN ACTING

.."Thank you very much for organising for Annelies to film with us yesterday . Kate, the director, told me that she was fantastic..." Brian Waddell Productions

The course includes: understanding cameras, shot size, angles, lighting, the roles of crew on set, the equipment, the lingo and the way the screen industries work, giving students a basic understanding of the screen industry, so that they are not intimidated by it.

The students are on screen as much as possible to get used to being in front of a camera, so that they can also watch themselves back and objectively analyze their performances with the tutor.  The course will also include: practice casting - sessions, taking direction, cheating-to-camera, hitting marks, learning lines, timekeeping, as well as learning how to promote oneself as an actor.
