One of the best options in the city, the Kolkata Film Academy offers two courses on acting. You can either get a certificate in three months or work hard for a year for a diploma in acting. And you just need to be a high-school graduate to join these courses. The course focuses on the whole package – they teach you about the history of acting, about the nuances of voice modulation, about the creative body movements, and how to build that chemistry with other co-actors. Their diploma course is more extensive in their syllabus, and focuses on both film and theatre acting.
