  • Nestor Orji
    Very nice course in deed..
    First I learnt that a Director should have Editing knowledge to be able to work better with Actors on Set.
    Every Actor, wether acting for the first time, playing lead for the first time or professional Actor rely so much on the Director for a good performance.
    Every Actor wants to know what the Director wants in his or her roles..
