Every holiday season, we panic and try to come up with the perfect gifts for our friends and family members. If you are in the heart of your holiday shopping, we want to make it easier for you. It's not always the first thing that comes into a person's mind, but acting classes actually make the perfect gift for just about everyone!
Who couldn't benefit from improving your public presence, confidence and general sense of self? Add in that it's fun, and you have the perfect gift! Unleash their inner Hollywood star and open new doors of opportunity for them! Whether your friends or family members are looking to boost/change their career or simply improve their skills, here are a few reasons why acting classes make the perfect holiday gift.
They'll Boost Confidence
Whether you’re on center stage in front of a listening audience, or on a set with all
cameras on you, the in-the-moment pressure that these situations bring along, can be
excellent in helping even naturally shy people overcome self-consciousness. Auditioning
in front of casting directors or practicing performance with classmates help you build a
strong sense of confidence that will carry over into your everyday life.

Enhance Public Speaking & Presentations
Acting requires an ability to speak clearly and eloquently and to project a strong and
steady voice, all while delivering convincing, persuasive and believable dialog,
regardless of the setting. A large focal point of many acting classes, these are the same
skills utilized in public speaking engagements and can come in handy any time in your
personal or professional life that you need to give a compelling and persuasive oral
presentation.
Improve Poise & Presence
Actors’ bodies and faces are an extension of their acting, and must align with the story
they are trying to tell and the feelings they need to convey. Because of this, they must
learn to be extremely aware of every position and every movement made. This
awareness of body, posture and physical presence that is taught in acting classes and
increased through experience is not abandoned on the stage or left in the classroom;
instead, it can become an ingrained and automatic part of how a person carries
themselves, exuding grace, confidence and poise in their everyday lives.

Better Conversational Skills
When practiced in conversation, confidence is boosted immensely. Many people agree,
hands down, that nothing is more intimidating than making a speech - especially in front
of a director. These classes give you the freedom to try and apply new techniques in
front of like minded people, learning the same skills, without the added pressure of
perfection. You'll leave feeling empowered, more secure and ready to take on the
challenge of speaking from the conferences to commercials.

Understanding & Communication
When acting, a person must take on the persona of the role they are playing. These
roles will be represented by feelings and personality traits that can be pretty different
from the actor’s own. So, in order to truly capture the essence of the character and
portray it properly, the actor must place themselves in the shoes – and often inside the
mind – of someone whose viewpoints may be foreign to them so that they can
understand them. This is such a beneficial skill in all aspects of life, from personal
relationships to business negotiations to conflict resolution many kinds
