Be assessed on key industry skills
°®¶¹ÊÓƵ’s Acting for Screen exams assess skills that sit at the heart of this rapidly growing industry. Whether a trained stage actor or enthusiastic newcomer, the exam format reflects and develops industry-aligned skills essential for auditions, showreels and self-taping.

Develop core screen acting skills through performance tasks
Performance tasks help candidates develop core screen acting skills, such as creating convincing performances, expressing character emotions and mastering dialogue. They also build technical abilities for maintaining eyeline and adapting to different camera angles. Ident and Playback Review tasks allow candidates to present directly to the camera, a vital skill in the digital age. Playback Review aids students in refining their performances by reviewing recordings during preparation.
