Summer School TV: Learn and Apply! As an actor, you give shape to a character that, through your performance, touches the audience in whatever way! Acting is therefore a game of indicating and reacting, of observation and interpretation. Get ready for 5 days of intensive television production! Due to the increase in the number of broadcasters (now more than eleven national ones), the number of Dutch drama productions has indeed multiplied, but the budget has not. In a studio recording situation, an actor is therefore expected to perform immediately. By learning the trade, a budding actor increases their chances of joining the existing establishment. The course prepares you for acting in a studio with multiple cameras. If you want to know more about this program or one of the other programs, click now on:
