Of course, you will also learn about the craft of acting, the basics of script analysis, how to slate for the camera, where to look for auditions, a bit about agents and casting directors and much, much more.

Your Instructors
Mighty Tripod Acting Studio was founded in 2012 by David S. Hogan & Angela DiMarco, working actors currently producing, directing, casting, and acting in the PNW market.
Angela's career started as a child actor, landing her first agent at age 8, and getting cast in her first feature film at age 10. Angela has over 100 credits on IMDb, and works steadily on screen and stage.
David “fell into” acting during college, first singing with the Seattle University choir, then performing in a musical, proceeding into doing a lot of Shakespeare, and – 10 years later – landing his first Seattle talent agent.
