Natalie Portman Takes Online Masterclass Of Acting

In times where everyone is self-isolating themselves to their homes, one may wonder just how can you make this time productive and actually make the most of inactivity. For all the budding actors out there, there couldn't be a better option for now as none other than Natalie Portman herself can be your teacher of acting.

Yes! That's right. Portman will be providing lessons on online-education provider, MasterClass.

A trailer for the program, sees Portman talk through her process and show how she's managed to become thrice-nominated for both the Academy Awards and BAFTAs, reports dailymail.co.uk.

In the two-minute clip, she begins by urging her students to, "be free, make mistakes, try things", stressing, "this is a job about your imagination".

Discussing how she connects with her characters, she explains: "You want to make it as human as possible - what is their desire?" She continues: "I did not go to a traditional drama school, I learned by doing. Now I've pieced together some things that were helpful for me that I want to share with you."

She added, "Green screen in acting is kind of the purest form of acting, because you're inventing both what's outside of you, but also what's inside of you as an actor," she says.

She also offers some of her tips by demonstrating a scene.

The trailer concludes with Portman saying: "This is a joyful, creative process. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Your job is to imagine someone else's life."
