The Acting and Having Fun course is designed to help you develop your craft while genuinely enjoying the process. You’ll learn how to become a confident, competent, and compelling actor — mastering the essentials needed to deliver professional-level performances both on set and in the audition room.

Anyone with an interest in acting can benefit — whether you’re a complete beginner or an actor looking to sharpen your skills. This course is especially helpful if you want to improve your acting in a relaxed, supportive, and enjoyable environment.

No prior experience is required. The course covers foundational skills for beginners while also offering deeper insights and techniques that more experienced actors will appreciate.

The Acting and Having Fun course is designed for ages 16 and up.

There are moments of intensity and brief mentions of mature subject matter, but overall the material is light, fun, and PG-13. Parents may use their own discretion for younger students.

The course is completely self-paced. You can watch the lessons anytime, anywhere, and move through the training on a schedule that works for you. There are no live sessions you need to attend.

The core training includes 8 focused video lessons (plus a 9th bonus lesson on knowing your type), each about 20 minutes long. They’re designed to give you powerful, practical tools without filler or overwhelm, so you can learn the technique quickly and start applying it right away.

You can move through the lessons at your own pace, and revisit them anytime for deeper practice and mastery.

You’ll learn the full Tony Mirrcandani Technique — a practical, joy-centered, emotionally healthy approach to acting that helps you perform truthfully without digging up trauma or forcing painful emotions. Across 9 lessons (plus a bonus), you’ll discover how to:

✔ Create real, grounded emotion without reliving trauma

Learn how to be truthful, listen, absorb, and react naturally in the moment — and evoke emotions on command simply by labeling them.

✔ Transition between emotions with authenticity

Avoid overacting and deliver subtle, camera-ready performances that feel real and alive.

✔ Adjust your acting for both stage and film

Understand the technical differences between theater and on-camera acting, how to hit your mark, maintain continuity, and calibrate your energy for various shot types.

✔ Break down a scene like a pro

Analyze subtext, relationships, genre, environment, and backstory — and use those insights to make powerful performance choices. You’ll also learn focus techniques for handling on-set distractions.

✔ Build versatility with six essential acting skills

Master how to walk, laugh, cry, play drunk, shout, and fully understand the language of the script so your performances feel natural and believable.

✔ Present yourself with confidence and professionalism

Develop the intangibles that set great actors apart: confidence, attitude, first impressions, presence, and the art of making unexpected, memorable choices.

✔ Ace your auditions — both in-person and self-taped

Prepare effectively, walk in with confidence, and make grounded choices that showcase your talent. For self-tapes, learn how to deliver clean, professional, bookable auditions from home.

In this special bonus training, you’ll learn how to identify your casting “type” so you know:

✔ What to wear for auditions

✔ How to present yourself to casting directors

✔ Which roles you’re most likely to book

✔ How to take headshots that actually work

This module alone can save you thousands of dollars in wasted headshots and missed opportunities.

By the end of the course, you’ll know how to act truthfully, powerfully, and naturally — while presenting yourself as the kind of actor casting directors want to hire.

No special materials are required.

However, many students find it helpful to have:

✔ A notebook for insights

✔ A script of their choice for scene-analysis exercises

✔ A small piece of tape to practice hitting their marks (just like on set)

Everything else you need is included inside the course.

This course is fully self-contained and does not include personal feedback from the instructors. You can move through the lessons at your own pace without needing to submit assignments or attend live sessions.

However, if you’d like individualized guidance, you can upgrade to a one-on-one feedback session with Katherine Norland, where you can get personalized help with:

✔ Your headshots

✔ Your résumé

✔ Audition prep

✔ Scene coaching

✔ On-camera performance tips
