Well it's been nearly a year since I joined Actupnorth in Liverpool, and what a year!

 

I have met great tutors, guest tutors, successful actors and the most talented students. 

 

Most of all I have thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of our classes each Thursday night.

 

The great thing is the classes are geared for all abilities and even if your lacking in confidence, each week and with encouragement from the tutors and other students the confidence just grows and grows.

 

I am now only kicking myself I didn't join earlier!

 

Just wanted to say thank you to Erin and Peter for the opportunity, it has been invaluable and after nearly a year I still get excited about coming to class!

'...Mr Hunt I am ready for my close up!!

 

Well, what a week! After doing a few weeks of improvisation which is not a favourite of mine but had lots of fun and actually looking back made ‘fitting in’ with the class a lot easier. ( I am a relative newbie 5 weeks in) we are finally on scripts, Yay!  Last week we were given a script from a film which we saw ourselves act out on camera. This week after learning the script we had another chance on camera and boy it was a close up! After viewing ourselves and having a bit of a laugh at ourselves, Peter gave us all constructive feedback. We have a great group in Liverpool and I have learned so much in these 5 weeks and I look forward to every Thursday. I find it challenging and rewarding and Peter brings the best out of us. We now have a script from an American film which I am trying to learn, and really looking forward to next week as we have a casting director working with us.Anyone thinking about joining ActUpNorth don’t just think it, do it, it’s the best thing I have done and you will gain so much confidence and gain lots of experience. Cant’ wait for next week, Mr Hunt I am ready for my close up!!
