Curriculum
TEXT ANALYSIS • MOVEMENT, VOICE & SPEECH • SCENE STUDY
Acting 101 takes you on a step-by-step journey into the world of performance, giving you hands-on experience with the core skills every actor needs.
You’ll begin by exploring text analysis, learning how to read scripts with insight and discover the emotional truth behind every character and story. From there, you’ll move into movement, voice, and speech training, developing control, presence, and expressive tools that bring your performances to life. These skills naturally flow into scene study, where you’ll put everything into practice through live performances with your classmates, learning collaboration, timing, and authenticity along the way.
Each module builds on the last, allowing you to grow your confidence, expand your creativity, and gain practical experience in both stage and on-camera settings.
By the end of the program, you’ll have a solid foundation in acting and the confidence to step into your first roles.
