ACTING COURSE: Course description

Designed for actors with all levels of experience from all over the world, Focus Movie Academy offers intensive training in film acting, Improvisation, Emotionality, Diction, Perception, Movement, Dance, Vocal Techniques and Singing, approaching the video camera by putting into practice main international acting methods such as the Stanislavskij and Meisner Method.

Unlike many academies or schools, we believe in hands-on experience so that students can grow both as individuals and as actors, thus being able to tackle every aspect of this fascinating craft in front of the camera.
During their training course, students will be able to deal with the reality of international cinema, taking advantage of English language lessons and targeted meetings with agencies, casting directors, actors, directors and producers.

Practice as a fundamental element

Our film acting teachers are all bilingual professional actors, screenwriters, directors and producers who boast cinematographic, television and theatrical experiences, thanks to both the most prestigious Cinecittà sets and independent international productions.

This vast knowledge of film acting allows teachers to transmit that practical experience to young actors, assisting them in starting their careers in cinema and television.
The Academy’s practical approach and the attention to the development of other skills linked to acting mean that Florence Movie Academy is the most advanced international acting academy in Italy.

Masterclasses:

In addition to this, they will be able to learn or improve their skills in dance for musicals, dubbing, screen combat and acting in english. (see masterclasses).
