What you'll learn:
The Truth is not your friend
Most acting techniques teach 'truth', but nothing in movies is real. Fiona will take you through a series of exercises and tutorials that will explain how screen acting is very different from stage acting and why.
Screen Acting Technique
Understand the core techniques being used by great screen actors and try them out in front of the camera. It’s all about the cheats – positions, vocal levels and reactions, with a splash of screen business!
Typecasting
Understand why it’s used, the plusses and minuses, and how to leverage it to your advantage!
Castings
If you've ever been to a casting session and not been booked, does it mean you weren't good enough? Or maybe you were taught the wrong way to approach a casting. In this session, Fiona will explain how to read and play for an audition.

TESTIMONIALS
“The Secrets of Screen Acting with Fiona Geddes was one of the best CPD courses I’ve done. Fiona was warm and welcoming but challenged everyone’s thinking and kept us all on our toes, figuratively and literally. It was great to never be sitting too long and be up in front of the camera. Here we explored new technique and most importantly, got things wrong. It was brilliant to see the playback on the TV to see whatdidn’t work, because it cemented Fiona’s teaching of what did. We all got the opportunity to be behind the camera too to further understand how making film and TV works. The tools that Fiona’s equipped me for screen acting with will absolutely stay with me.”
“As someone who has had plenty experience on stage but limited screen work, I have been looking for a course that would help me gain a better understanding of what to expect when acting for camera. The ‘Secrets of Screen Acting’ course, based on Patrick Tucker’s book of the same name, was the perfect fit and – as we focussed on practical tips and technique rather than acting ability – I feel this would be an asset to any actor. Fiona took us through the ‘three pillars’ of screen acting through a mixture of theory, including watching on screen examples, and practical, during which we all got plenty of time both behind and in front of the camera plus the opportunity to learn by watching ourselves and each other act on screen. The mix of theory, backed up by practical implementation made the material easy to absorb and remember. The technique of acting on camera can feel daunting and overwhelming, yet Fiona’s guidance and support left me feeling excited and empowered to put it all into practice when the time comes to step on set and deliver great work!”
“This course, run by Fiona Geddes, provides a practical guide to Patrick Tucker’s famed book: Secrets of Screen Acting. The three pillars outlined in the book were exceedingly useful and I found Fiona’s teaching style fast-paced but engaging. Perhaps the most invaluable part of this course is the practical experience of being in front of a camera and utilising the skills that were taught. Remembering all techniques of screen acting is a bit like juggling on one foot, but this course provides an excellent foundation for those that want to better their technique”
