The program offers content creation and streaming activities such as starting a YouTube channel, configuring a live stream, engaging a live audience on Twitch, creating engaging content for YouTube, creating custom thumbnails and channel graphics, posting polished pieces and building an audience, and shooting one final video. It also includes audition training classes and workshops for film and television, script analysis, acting demo reels, general American accent and dialects, and sessions on breaking into Hollywood and the business of acting. Private coaching is available, including audition coaching, dialogue coaching, on-set coaching, and online coaching and private acting classes, with both online and in-person programs and small class sizes with personalized feedback, a supportive environment, professional mentorship, and access to industry knowledge and opportunities. The Michelle Danner Acting School’s stated philosophy is that artists can draw upon different acting techniques and form an individual “Golden toolbox” to use when approaching a role or a scene for film, television, or theater, and the acting school teaches techniques including Meisner, Lee Strasberg’s method, Stella Adler, Stanislavski’s method, Uta Hagen, and the Chekhov technique. One testimonial states that the training completely changed a student’s approach to acting, led to booking more auditions within months, increased confidence in audition rooms, exceeded expectations for training quality, and contributed to faster growth as an actor along with auditions, showcases, and professional opportunities.
