YOUR WORKING-ACTOR GUIDE
Learn from someone who still auditions.
Will Roberts has spent more than 35 years working across film, television, stage, and live entertainment. He built these lessons from the same practical process he uses himself—including the self-tape work that preceded his role as General George Catlett Marshall in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
The Academy is here to make the craft clearer, the process less mysterious, and the next step easier to take.
