Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Acting is one of those things you really need to be in a live class for!. Most acting classes consist of technique, scene work, and monologues!. There are many different methods of acting!. Some of the classic techniques come from schools such as The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, Stella Adler, or Meisner!. A good acting class provides a safe environment for you to experiment, learn your craft, and get hands on experience doing actual work such as monologues, scene work, and improv!. It's almost impossible to do that through the internet!. The internet is a great way to find out about classes in your area though!. Simply do a search typing in acting classes, and your city!. The best acting classes in the US are offered in New York in LA!. But you can find good acting classes all over the country!. When you find some classes, see if you can audit them!. Ask other students whether they like the class!. Do your research!. Hope this helps! Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most probably a waste of money, because acting is 75% listening and feeding off what your fellow actor does and reacting!. How can you learn anything online!? Even a monologue you can't gauge what you're doing it's like doing it "blind"!. There used to be a free acting lessons (tips) online free but now he charges!. Google and find free stuff, for the rest, if you're serious about the business you need a REAL class!. If you can't get to one then the free stuff should tide you over till you can!. But really you could pick up some habits you'll have to unlearn!.

Hope this helps and I look fwd to seeing you on TV!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that it is a waste of time!. Only because acting is basically listening to everyone else; how can you do that online!? It is also a waste of money because If you learn anything at all I don't think it would be worth it!. Try googling some acting classes with real people!.
Some acting teachers charge alot but I am sure you can find one that is reasonable!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
