The On-Camera Acting Course: Seeking the Truth is designed for actors who want to deepen their work in front of the camera and learn to create more natural, authentic performances that connect with the character. Through three training modules, the course combines script analysis, on-camera acting, physical work and comedy exploration, offering practical tools to better understand a scene, work on subtext, connect with the character and respond with greater freedom and naturalness during filming.

The training is delivered by professionals with direct experience in film, television and theatre, such as María Ripoll and Mireia Rey, and approaches the work from a predominantly practical perspective, where the actor can develop resources applicable both to rehearsals and professional work in front of the camera.
