An actor is the one who translates the emotions bound in a script. However, being able to express and emote is not sufficient to play a particular character. What’s important is one’s preparedness to pack a punch. At RAFT, we teach you how to hone your craft, make a character most believable and strike the right chord with the audience.

Course Overview

The course emphasizes on building a foundation in the craft of acting, where students while exploring and learning the principles of acting techniques, also understand how to breakdown a scene and analyze a character.

Students participate in a broad array of core classes that introduce them into finding the actor within, while simultaneously channeling their talent to do the kind of technical, emotional, and physical work necessary for film acting.
