Act One, a basic acting and voice training programme, will teach the basics through a learning-by-doing approach. It is an optimal mix of theory and practice and will take an individual from solo sessions to acting with a group. It includes the basics of voice exercises and their application in a variety of media forms and moves further into understanding and appreciating language, its dynamics and potential.

Activities of learning will cover all areas such as listening, reading aloud, text analyses and interpretation. The whole programme facilitates a thorough understanding of the self on stage through carefully chosen exercises and role-play modules.

While the programme culminates in a group related activity, a strong focus is maintained on the strengths and weaknesses of the individual. The learning methods are enhanced by detailed feedback and interactive sessions of group learning methods. The aim of the programme is to make the individual ready and confident for an audition in any stream of the media. By the end of the workshops, participants will be equipped to undergo more intensive training and build on their experience through practice.
