ActingOnTheWeb.com Acting is a strange profession in that you are expected to be good at it with or without any experince or trainning.

Here are some comments of AOW member actors:

"AOW is a great way to prepare for acting espeically if you cannot attend live classes like myself ebing on the somewhat remore island of Bermuda. After reheasing monolgues for many hours, and having Frank as a coach over the past few years has been a tremendous resource."

Oleg Razinkov, Bermuda. New

"I got accepted to RADA*!! And they also offered me and the other summer school students to take the Shakespeare certificate, which they said would prove helpful when applying to drama school! Thank you and AOW."

Rune Heggedal, Olso, Norway. New

DIRECTOR'S NOTE: The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts is one of the worlds best drama schools in London, England. -- Congratulations Rune!

"As a beginner there is a lot of resources for me to read through. I really like the unrestricted format which allows me to learn in my own way and at my own pace. The video review is probably the most valuable tool I got from the website and has definitely taken my own perspective of acting to the next level. Thanks"

Cielito Villanueva. New

"I was originally going to be playing a security guard with one line in the movie I told you about. But I have been upgraded to one of the featured characters playing opposite Blair Underwood. The movie is called, Straight Out of Compton This is a fabulous role for my first major exposure. Your help has been so invaluable; please offer any further bit of advice that you may have..."

Arron Patton.

"I 've got it ! Yes, a role in a "Short film " so called " THE INCAUTIOUS BURGLAR" from John Dickson Carr (1940). You've taught me so much in the short time that I have been using your site. Just want to say thanks again!!"

Patrick

"But with regard to the benefits of your class, the value comes in the doing. I have found through engaging in the process of becoming a working actor, that anybody can do it. It just depends on the intention. All of the other stages of the process, including the actor's talent, can be acquired and accessed if they are willing to engage in the step by step process, as prescribed by industry professionals such as yourself, Frank.

Arron Patton.
