GMA Artist Center Stars to undergo Exclusive Acting Workshop from Coach Anthony Bova
Bova Acting Training with GMA Stars Saturday, July 21, 2018
Unless you’re dreaming of becoming the next reality TV superstar, to become a working and good actor, you have to train. You cannot compete with or support others without learning some professional skills.
ACTING WORKSHOP is really a must when you are a part of the entertainment industry. So why would you even think that you can become the next big thing without at least going to a few acting workshops or an acting class?
Actors need to be challenged at all times, otherwise they go stale, they do not grow as artists and they hit a plateau. Acting workshops will provide you the challenge that you as an actor desperately require. It won’t allow you to stop growing. But you mustn’t be afraid of facing new challenges; you can never stay within your comfort zone. Never limit your acting abilities — go out there and look for something new and different, that's the main goals of artists who are passionate with their craft.
With this in mind, Prominent New York-based acting coach Anthony Vincent Bova came to Manila purposely to train GMA Artist Center stars. Bova is the artistic director of the Bova Actors Workshop and the Ionica Theater in New York.
