Class, meet Professor Bloom.
Orlando Bloom dropped by Cheadle Hulme High School in Greater Manchester, England to teach drama to the students on Friday.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star worked with 11-year-olds teaching the “Cicero curriculum,” a teaching technique created by Bloom’s former teacher and renowned voice coach Patsy Rodenburg, according to the Manchester Evening News. Bloom reportedly worked with the kids on developing a “strong speaking voice, increasing presence and improving posture, facial expression and eye contact.”
Another former student of Rodenburg’s, Paapa Essiedu, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s first black Hamlet, also attended the launch.

And yet amid it all, some people have trouble hearing what is being said. In the latest edition of the Radio Times the BBC director general, Tony Hall, fields questions from readers. "Are all your sound engineers 25?" asks one. "Have you got any 55-year-old ones who...

Knowing what to use and when to use it is important for your success as an actor. I have had to learn this over and over again myself, both as an actor and as a coach. You can't bring the whole kitchen sink in with you every time you go to perform or audition. Nor can you "do nothing and just be natural." Good acting takes skill. Great acting takes skill and faith in your work. But what is the work?I moved to Los Angeles fresh from grad school and with a master's degree in theater. I landed a great agent, and when they started sending me out on auditions, I realized that I had no idea how to audition. You would think that they would teach auditioning in school, but they don't. I hit the streets and took many different classes. At times it feels like I have...
