Students will learn how using images in your speech will bring that text to life.

There is approximately 40 minutes of video footage on this course, which doesn't seem a lot but I have honed my technique and teaching so the lessons are quick and adaptable to any speech. And although there are only 40 minutes, it will take you between 5 to 14 hours study time to complete the course. To be honest the more hours you do the better the speech will be.

yes, good match for me. Appreciate how to break up a monologue into mini sections and then piece the whole together while remembering the "wants" behind saying the whole speech. Monologues are like a dialogue or a persuative speech with the other or collective of a bunch of others as in the puppy selection. It is a great reminder to remember to have, fun, prepare, to know that we are not alone ( that the script writer is there with us as we create the character on stage or at an audition for Film/TV or stage) and to also just be Brave and "Speak the Speech" I pray thee or Sonet, to create the images and live in the moment, memorize the right way and enjoy the acting so that the audience and casting director enjoys us and we get hired for the role and become a movie star or streaming platform( vertical, mobisodes, webisodes) TV star, working money making in demand Actor.

Very well developed and presented. The guidance offered was practical and can immediately be applied to the craft of acting. I sincerely hope Udemy offers further classes with Mr. Lovatt.

Its pretty good. Some insights are really helpful. His way of teaching is also engaging. But I wish the course was much more elaborative.
