The Fundamentals of Acting

In-person class. Build the actor’s foundation. Train the craft. Awaken your presence.

Los Angeles|Lisbon

Service Description

This in-person Fundamentals of Acting class is designed to give students a strong, practical foundation in the actor’s craft. Through guided exercises and scene work, students develop body awareness, voice control, emotional availability, imagination, focus, and creative freedom. The class emphasizes presence, truth, and connection — teaching actors how to work from themselves rather than from imitation. Students learn how to listen deeply, respond authentically, and build believable moments on stage or on camera. This class is ideal for beginners seeking a solid starting point, as well as experienced performers who want to reconnect with the fundamentals and strengthen their artistic discipline in a supportive, professional studio environment.


Who This Session Is For

Beginners who want to experience acting training in a safe, supportive environment

Actors who want focused, personalized guidance without committing to a long program

Performers preparing for an audition, self-tape, or scene

International actors working in English

Professionals and creatives seeking confidence, presence, and clearer self-expression

Anyone curious about acting as a tool for personal growth and communication

What You’ll Gain From a Single Class

A single session may be just one class, but it is designed to create real movement. Depending on your focus, outcomes may include:

 

  • Greater confidence and presence

  • Clearer emotional expression

  • Stronger connection between voice, body, and intention

  • Reduced tension and performance anxiety

  • A deeper understanding of how acting techniques work

  • Practical tools you can immediately apply to scenes, auditions, or daily communication

  • Many students report feeling more grounded, focused, and self-aware after just one session.

What We Work On (Curriculum Focus)

Each individual class is tailored to you, but may include work in the following areas:

  • Presence and awareness — learning how to stay fully present and responsive

  • Voice and breath — releasing tension, finding clarity, and supporting expression

  • Body work — grounding, physical freedom, and embodied communication

  • Emotional accessibility — connecting truthfully to emotions without forcing them

  • Imagination and intention — working from purpose rather than imitation

  • Scene or text work — applying technique to real material (if relevant)

  • Confidence under pressure — tools for auditions, presentations, or public speaking

  • The session is practical, experiential, and guided in real time.

How the Session Works

  • Sessions are held online in a private one-on-one format

  • The class is live and interactive

  • You receive direct feedback and guidance throughout

  • The pace and structure adapt to your needs

THIS IS NOT A LECTURE. IT IS ACTIVE WORK.

What to Prepare Before the Session

Preparation is simple and flexible:

  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement

  • Choose a quiet space where you can move and speak freely

  • If you have a specific goal (audition, scene, confidence work), come ready to discuss it

  • If working with text, you may be asked to read a short scene or monologue (optional)
     

If you are unsure what to prepare, guidance will be provided before the session.

What Students Say About Individual Acting Classes

"I felt more grounded and confident after just one session. It changed how I approach my work and myself."

JAMES S. / ACTOR / USA

“I finally understood what people mean by ‘presence.’ It wasn’t theoretical — I actually felt it during the session.”

MARCUS / ACTOR / PORTUGAL

Individual sessions are designed to meet you where you are — without pressure, judgment, or long-term commitment. Whether you’re an actor, a creative professional, or simply curious about acting as a tool for confidence and self-expression, one session can offer clarity, direction, and a meaningful first step.

If you’re wondering whether this work is right for you, starting with a single class is often the simplest and most powerful way to find out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need acting experience?

No. This session is suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced actors.

Is one class enough to see results?

Many students experience noticeable shifts in confidence, clarity, and awareness after a single session. Long-term growth comes with continued practice, but one class can be a powerful starting point.

Is this useful if I’m not an actor?

Yes. Acting techniques are highly effective for confidence, communication, and presence in everyday life and professional settings.

Can I use this class for audition preparation?

Yes. The session can be focused specifically on audition material, self-tapes, or scene work.

What Happens After the Session

After your individual class, you will have a clearer sense of:

  • how acting training works

  • which tools are most helpful for you

  • whether you want to continue with additional sessions or a structured program


There is no pressure to commit. Many students choose to continue with a package or longer course after experiencing the clarity and focus of a single session.
