Acting 101 is for beginners. If you have never taken an acting class before, then this will be a great place for you to start. If you have taken our Camera 1 course, but have not done other training, especially of the body and the breath, then this class will also be a great choice for you. Acting 101 will teach you how to prepare your mind, your body, and your instrument to meet the demands of the acting industry.

This class is designed to teach you how get started as an actor. Whether your goal is to act in commercials, on stage, in voiceover, film/tv… Even if you just want to learn how to be a more effective communicator, then this class is a great option for you. Acting 101: Mind, Body, Breath is built to teach you how to access yourself – your own being – to create a compelling character in scripted work.

We will play acting and improv games, watch clips from film and TV, teach you how to breathe properly, work through mindset techniques, get you in front of the class and instill confidence, teach you the foundations of the craft, show you how to relax under pressure, get you working with scripts, and more.

If one of your goals as an actor is to pursue on-camera work, then after Acting 101 you can enroll in our on-camera education series (Camera 1 – 3; Self-Tape Academy).

This class is built to be your first 5-week course at MTAS, but if you have taken Camera 1 or our Self-Tape Academy, and still feel like you are missing something, then you should certainly consider Acting 101.

I signed up for Mighty Tripod’s Acting 101 class because although I had taken acting classes, I had no body or voice training. And the classes I had taken up to that point were all online; I felt like I only knew how to act to a computer screen. The Acting 101 body and voice training helped fill in a gap in my training that I very much needed. The class environment was very supportive and I felt like I was right where I needed to be, both with David & Angela, as well as with my fellow students. The course work pushed me out of my comfort zone which was exactly what I needed. Thanks to the body work we did in Acting 101, I felt confident in my next two roles, portraying a monster and a zombie. I highly recommend Acting 101 to those who are thinking about becoming an actor, those who need a refresher of the basics, or anyone who wants to do something fun and maybe outside of their comfort zone!

I had an exceptional experience in Acting 101: Mind, Body, Voice at Mighty Tripod Studios. David and Angela have the amazing gift to meet individual actors where they are, give honest and relevant instruction and feedback, and support and encourage personal growth and development… all in a group setting! I left each class feeling more knowledgeable, motivated and inspired. It’s clear that David and Angela genuinely desire success for their students!

I had worn my hat for the first 4 weeks of class, then, in week 5, I asked myself, "Why the hell do you want to wear a hat, You want to become an actor for crying out loud, you want to be outstanding and be more open about yourself but you keep hiding yourself with that damn hat. If you want to wear that hat, do it, but you will not embrace yourself If you're going to just hide. There is no reason for you to be an actor If you're just going to be doubting yourself over and over again and hide yourself." That very same day I left home without a hat and held myself strong. It was one of the best choices - to be more open and be more confident about myself. Angela and David helped me express myself more openly."
