    What is a certificate in acting? These programs help students gain a better understanding of the art form, theory and technical side of acting. Classes may cover different theatrical styles from around the world, and students often learn various acting techniques such as Alexander and Meisner. Depending on a student’s area of interest, some scholars will work on performance geared towards certain venues, such as acting for the camera or improvisational comedy.
