The Screen Acting and Improvisation course at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience for me. As an Emirati actor, I was looking to improve my screen acting skills and learn more about the technical aspects of filmmaking. The course provided a detailed overview of the screen acting process, from script analysis to performance techniques. I appreciated the opportunity to work with fellow students on scene studies and improvisation exercises, which helped me develop my ability to work collaboratively and respond truthfully in the moment. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I liked that we had access to a variety of online resources and tutorials. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies or examples from the Middle Eastern film industry, which would have been relevant to my own career goals. Overall, however, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to other actors looking to improve their craft.
