Billie No.1 runs acting workshops, screen work, audition practice and live performance at no cost. No experience is needed, and members can work on real EYWA and Billie productions.
Getting the most from free classes
Turn up every time. Say yes to small roles on real shoots. And build a showreel from the work, because that is what gets you the next role.
