I have found the Adult Screen Acting course at Point Break Drama very instructive. I have come to enjoy bisecting the characters we are going to play in each session. Yes, there are the words to learn, but our instructors Matt & Paul have taught us how to immerse ourselves in the character. You start off thinking you will represent the character in a certain way, but by our trainers urging us to dig deep we are seeing far beyond the original thoughts.We have also been taught that the scene we are playing has context, hence the need for research into the whole story! I can thoroughly recommend Point Break Drama for their professionalism, guidance and encouragement, to anyone wanting to build their acting skills and general confidence.

Online classes worked surprisingly well. As someone who has done both the studio classes and the online classes I felt like I learnt a lot. Jon Baynham (Actor)
