About this course

In this online masterclass, Kevin Spacey shares the practical acting techniques he developed over a career on stage and screen. Across 28 video lessons totaling more than five hours, he guides students through the craft step by step, from choosing and grounding a monologue to varying a performance and trusting the text. The class explores working with text and emphasis, mask work, raising the stakes, and reacting within a scene, along with the differences between acting for stage and for screen. Later lessons cover collaborating with directors and fellow actors, developing characters through real case studies, auditioning, and building a sustainable acting career. A class workbook is included.
