My name is Emma Paunil, and I have been on all sides of the acting dice. I have been actress in various feature films, commercials, short films, etc., but I've also been on the other side as a casting director AND acting director. As an actress starting out, I honestly was always left "wanting more," from the acting courses I experienced. Because of my perspective, I have finally been able to develop the acting course I would have wanted starting out, and continue to work out new courses to expand on past curriculum.

WELCOME to the "Acting Industry Basics Series," of my Acting 101 courses!

In this series, you will learn the basics for the acting industry, including headshots, resumes, reels, self-representing versus agencies, as well as social media marketing.The great thing about online classes… you can pause, rewind, and re-watch critical concepts that you might have missed in person! I hope you enjoy the convenience of this online learning model.

The nature of online sometimes takes the “human” out of things, but I hope you know I am a real person available for questions related to the course content via my personal website for this course as well as through Udemy. Please note: I am definitely available for questions specifically related to this course and the course content. However, I offer written-feedback “Acting Coaching” as a separate service (all inclusive), as well as private Zoom/Facetime/Skype Acting Coaching timed-sessions (currently only for kids & teens). This service can be signed up for through my personal website, and can be used as a supplemental bonus alongside this course, as well as the rest of the Acting 101 series.
