Find out more about the benefits of online classes by reading this blog post!

The world is facing many problems now with coronavirus. It’s true that great art is created even in the most difficult times if we can stay positive-minded. We don’t need to stop being creative and let it get boring. It’s important to keep doing things with other artists on the internet for example! Online acting classes are just one of the great ways to express your creativity and learn the camera-specific skills of acting.

I want to clarify that what we’re talking about here are live video lessons where you watch a teacher coach acting students while interacting and offering participation for each student.

Searching for online acting classes, I found that there are many websites that walk you through the theoretical aspects of the craft. I’m not a fan of this type of written learning and will mostly be covering practical types of online classes in this article.

The opportunities for self-growth through online acting classes can be significant. The chance to work with other professionals and offer feedback, compare styles, and assess one’s abilities are invaluable.

Here are a few benefits of taking online acting classes:

1. Get feedback to craft your performances more easily

Working on-camera is not much different from acting in front of a webcam. You still get to use your body and physicalize the moments. Online classes also provide an opportunity to interact with actors that are located across the globe; all you need is a webcam or microphone in order to do so! You’ll be able to learn from their performances – even though it was transmitted through the internet, not taking part in the class actually means missing out on this valuable resource. Earning feedback from classmates when filming scenes can be difficult due to being unable to see them; online classes allow you access to this form of exercise and give you another way of working out dialogue with each other as well.

2. Learning from the comfort of your own home

In addition to lesson videos that range in topics such as auditioning, developing a character and building your brand, you can also find numerous valuable resources available to help you on tutorials covering everything from Becoming a Young Actor and Acting Techniques for Beginners or Taking Your Audition to the Next Level. Best of all these lessons are available at an affordable cost!

With the current quarantine, people must maintain a certain social distancing from each other. For those missing that connection to others, taking an online class can help bring them back together with fellow professionals. You’re not limited to just acting classes too; you could take other courses that will ultimately help in improving your craft such as public speaking or classes on managing anxiety. The web is a treasure trove of exercises for actors to better their craft.

3. Easily Accessible

You can take classes at studios that aren’t local or in a different city or country. That means you can explore and try new techniques that you might not have otherwise due to the limitations of time, distance, accessibility, and cost.

4. Better management and focus

There’s no doubt that it can be challenging to devote time every day to yourself and your craft. Fortunately, online classes can help you on this front. It’s exciting to engage with other professionals — I really enjoy the social aspect of an online class where there is a sense of challenge and community alongside my own voice and story. See what interests you!

5. Motivational drive

At this point, it is also a good idea to think about your future career and what you want creatively. Consider creating a vision board for yourself, writing an outline or making notes in the present tense on what you would like to accomplish at some point. If you’re keen on joining an online acting class, make sure to connect with other artists and students, and find ways to brainstorm the creative projects that will help fulfill your dreams.

Take these things into consideration before you enroll in an online acting class

1. The convenience factor

The act of learning something new is challenging for everyone, regardless of experience. You start off with motivational phrases bouncing around in your mind, but at some point, you run into a bump in the road and those dreams might never become a reality due to your own laziness. So always be prepared to work hard, to achieve your dreams and goals.

In order to be engaged in online acting classes for any length of time, it is necessary to have excellent self-management skills, as well as the knowledge and time management skills to stay accountable.

2. Cost of courses

If you want to get some professional advice without having to wait years for it, then paying the price is worth it. It is important to research the different types of classes and courses offered with online acting classes before joining.

3. Duration of course and curriculum

There are a number of considerations to take into account before enrolling in an acting class. One consideration is the length and frequency of classes, or what’s included with the curriculum.

4. Type of Internet connection :

Quality internet connection speeds, bandwidth, and onscreen meeting tools such as Zoom or Google Meet are essential for taking advantage of online acting classes.

Online acting classes are a great way to develop your acting skills from the comfort of your own home. You can receive feedback on performances and learn how to craft them easily, as well as be motivated by supportive classmates who want you to succeed.
