"The Academy creates a relaxed atmosphere whilst maintaining a professional and effective learning environment; although on-line sessions are naturally remote, I feel totally engaged." Sally R Clark.
The video conferencing software is very easy to use and does not require sign in, it can be accessed via mobile and desktop devices with just one software download (zoom) the first time you click on your class meeting link (Full details on how to do this at the bottom of this page).
Your Film Coach will provide the unique class link on each day before the lesson begins via text message, or email.
Your classes include performing on line with your Film Coach and recorded for your own personal passworded playback and analysis afterwards.
Video conferencing recommendations.
Earphones and Microphones.
If at all possible, whether you are watching from a mobile device, computer, lap-top or iPad, it will be easier for you to concentrate with earphones and if you do have an external microphone you can use, this will enable more clarity when you speak during the video conferencing however this is not essential as most devices have a decent microphone.
Your Room.
The room you choose to use at home should be quiet and away from others. It is also recommended that if you do have others in your household, let them know you are in a meeting whilst asking for quietness during lesson time. Additionally let them know you will be taking frequent breaks if they need you at any time.
Chair.
As lessons will be the usual length of 4 hours with regular reflective breaks, it will be important to have a comfortable chair at home whilst attending the lesson on line, a pillow maybe helpful when sitting on your chair.
Device.
Whether you are interacting through a computer, iPad, mobile or laptop, please ensure it is at eye level as described on the NHS link below, this will help you concentrate and be more comfortable when learning with the benefits of best posturing under your own health and safety at home.
Drinks & Food.

"To me the academy is what keeps me in check, being a actor has its ups and downs and especially now with Covid, having classes I can depend on for inspiration, knowledge, growth and the family we have created there, always picks me up and pushes me to do more.
I am dyslexic and I've always found learning pretty challenging but the Academy's way of coaching and its lesson structure is spot on! We have the perfect amount of breaks which helps me a lot because my attention span isn't that great, the Academy Coaches have a great insight to reading the room and knowing when people need a bit more guidance.
I always feel so uplifted after academy classes being filled with inspiration and knowledge both mentally and practically.
I love the academy and adore everyone in it, there's no ego or rivalry, we are all there for the same reasons and lift each other up, that's because they are all great people but it's purely down to
the Academy's methods and creation." Kat K Ross.

We aspire to have a healthy culture for learning and ask for good energy and concentration in class.
Mobile phones are to be kept on silent/vibrate during learning time but if you are expecting an urgent call, please let your film coach know at the beginning of the day.
When classes are being operated, there is mainly one rule to stick by which is feedback will only come from the Film Acting Coach and not the classroom.
On average, you will receive 2 to 3 new skills for acting per class, there may be more on occasion however this is generally the case in relation to learning with effective demonstration from the member.
We aim to film all performances with your consent which will be uploaded to our website film hub where you can analyse your performances and discuss with your coach the next time you attend.
This is what you will normally see when clicking on the class room link that is sent for each day for the on-line class.
The first time you see this, you will need to click the download & run zoom link.
You will only need to do this once and then the next time you just click on open zoom meetings.

“Learning life and acting skills from the comfort and safety of your own home is a positive attraction. The choice of dates ensures I get to work with different class members and get to know them all well too.” Vicky Peirson.
