The Craft of Directing Actors

This online course is designed for working directors who want to understand the actor’s process and how to tap into each actor’s strengths and abilities.

It is often misunderstood that actors simply ‘do their job’ with minimal interaction with the director. But it is the quality of that interaction which creates the quality of the final product. Understanding what an actor needs from their director can be the game-changing piece of the creative puzzle.

This course, led by Dean Carey, ACA Founder and Director, along with four key industry leaders, will plot the journey every director working with actors needs to know.

In this course you will learn top exercises and processes for bringing out the best from actors onstage and onset.

• How to connect actor to actor

• How to connect actor to script

• How to guide and steer an actor to fully inhabit character

• How to release the power of the piece through crafted action and interaction

This course will deliver the missing piece from most directing courses. You’ll hear from the best acting teachers and gain the insights, confidence, and skills to take your ability in working with actors to an entirely new level.
