Preparation Tips for NYC Acting Classes

Acting classes in New York City are no walk in the park. A students needs to have dedication and patience to master the art of acting. Part of the lessons is acting out scenes in front of the class, something which can be intimidating for a first-timer.

If you are in a similar situation and are feeling anxious about performing in class for the first time, keep calm and remember that practice makes the best preparation. If you will be working with a partner or a group, it is best to initially prepare by your lonesome. Understand the emotional requirements of the scene and consider acting techniques you may have learned in past acting classes (if you have attended any). Memorize your lines well and make a clear picture of the details of the scene in your mind.


Give plenty of time for rehearsals, both alone and with your partner or group. The more you practice, the more you will get comfortable with the scene and the people you will be acting with. Rehearsals will also give you and your fellow students the chance to explore the various ways of tackling the scene. You can experiment with several techniques and methods to find the best approach.


Finally, remember to steady your nerves so you won't stumble or stall come performance time. Keep in mind that you will be performing among fellow students who are there to grow and learn along with you.
