The first thing to consider about the type of tuition you want is the cost. This is because acting tuition comes in two basic forms, Group (sometimes called workshops) and One to One (often called Face to Face). Roughly, one hour of One to One will cost the same as a whole days Workshop.
If money is no object then the next thing for you to do is to think about yourself and what you like. When you were at school were you the type who thrived in a big group, bouncing ideas off friends and taking inspiration from the large creative environment? Or were you one of those students who preferred and developed quicker in an smaller or individual tuition setting.
These factors, and others we will discuss, are all relevant when thinking about the type of acting tuition that will work best for you.
ONE TO ONE
This is the pricier choice, but most actors prefer this option. It gives you all the benefits of a face to face relationship. One to one tuition is focused on your needs alone, giving you maximum time with your mentor. This type of tuition helps develop a relationship between you and your coach, which hopefully will accelerate your development. This tuition style will also help if you are initially timid some people can be reluctant to totally let go in front of a large group of strangers. One to one acting tuition is a short burst of focused activity it may be easier to fit around other commitments.
There are some disadvantages to One to One tuition, but they can best be highlighted by focusing on the advantages of Group tuition.
GROUP
We know that Group acting tuition is usually the cheaper option, but what are there any other benefits?
Workshops give you the chance to work on your networking skills, very often your fellow students will share knowledge of opportunities and events that you can take advantage off. Best of all though Group tuition provides a creative environment, which allows for the free expression of ideas, and gives students the possibility to contribute their thoughts and bounce different ideas off each other, as well as the tutor. The more people around you the more you may be inspired, giving you a pool of experience to draw from.
Group tuition is also a very good place to make a few good friends.
CHOOSING A SCHOOL
Most small towns will only have a limited number of options when it comes to choosing acting tuition. Large towns and cities should have a much better choice, if you are fortunate enough to have a variety of possibilities then there are a few things that you should consider.
Treat acting tuition the way you would treat any another service. It is always best to get a recommendation, so ask at local drama groups, or ask friends, family and colleagues. If you can't get a direct recommendation then it can be a bit trickier. You can check on the resume of the tutor or see if they have any testimonials from previous students. There is no harm in asking if you can observe a workshop or even get a free class to see if you have could develop a good working relationship with the tutor.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and remember its all about being comfortable and being with someone, or a group that allows you to fully express yourself and develop.
