Why take this Course?

It is often difficult to know where to go next as an actor. It can be a disheartening industry and everyone has an opinion!

Though both James and Andrew are relatively new to the industry themselves they have a lot to share. They have both completed full time training and are both trying themselves to forge an acting career. Though this is a very relaxed course it should offer some insight into the world of acting, and some advice, without all the spin.
