If your goal is to work in feature film, its crucial to know how to create appealing face poses to bring your characters to life in an expressive way.

I absolutely loved my time at Lupin House, while I was on a tight schedule I feel like that time was very well spent. I reckon I learnt more about acting nuances and body mechanics than I did in a year of being self taught!
To everyone who curious I’d highly recommend taking the opportunity to do learn with Lupin House. It’s been an incredible experience for me and I’m excited to come back again in the future!
