Secrets of Acting Shakespeare: First Folio Technique
Secrets of Acting Shakespeare: First Folio Technique
With Actress, Acting and Audition Coach Sarah Hannah

Introduction

With the resurgence of period dramas both on stage and especially on the screen, the demand for ‘Classically Trained’ actors has never been greater. Changes in the way you audition has seen an increase in being called upon to audition and self-tape with Shakespearean monologues which could leave you uncertain about how to best prepare. Rarely taught outside a handful of top drama schools, First Folio Technique is widely seen as the gold standard for classical acting. It also makes performing Shakespeare a lot easier! This intensive online workshop will lead you through simple guidelines to demystify and detangle the text, uncover Shakespeare’s clues and learn how to easily decipher what lines mean and how to deliver them. This course can be complimented by our Shakespeare’s Words: The Rules of Verse Speaking – and how Shakespeare Breaks Them! course.
