We're back with another exclusive clip from our sit-down with Emmy-nominated Masterclass student Cameron Britton, and this one is pure craft gold.

The topic? How he actually studies.

Because here's the thing most actors miss: the work doesn't stop when class ends. The actors who book consistently? They've built their own ongoing curriculum — and Cameron breaks down exactly what his looks like.

Big news from the First Take family!

Our incredible Masterclass student Carolyn Power has landed, shot and recently wrapped a leading role in an upcoming feature film! While they're keeping the details under wraps (𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘴 🤫), what we CAN tell you is this:

A leading role. A feature film. A First Take actor!

We couldn't be more proud of Carolyn and everything she has put into her craft. This didn't happen by accident — this happened because she shows up, does the work, stays committed, and never stops growing.

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮.

More details to come as they're revealed — stay tuned, First Take family. 🌟

Working with Nancy is pure bliss. Her laser eye sees when you have reached the essence of who you are as an actor. Working in Nancy's class has provided me with the tools to audition and land my first role on network TV. Nancy works hard to create an acting program that not only teaches us how to make it in LA, but she insists that we always exercise our courtesy, poise and integrity at every moment. I trust her instincts, her skill and her integrity. She has helped me find my voice as an actor.
