At Viktoria and Heiner Lauterbach's online seminar "Meet your Master" you can learn from the best.

We tested it.

Today: Acting lessons with Heiner Lauterbach.

It was enough for my mother to raise an eyebrow to say, "Miss, don't tell me!" So I was bad at acting even as a child, and my son tells me today that it has stayed that way.

But can I learn it?

Now that I've had a few hours of online course at "Meet your Master" with Heiner Lauterbach, I can say: No.

I can't learn it because I personally lack the most important thing: the passion for acting.

The course is primarily aimed at acting students.

And Lauterbach has plenty of tips for them.

Language, posture, text learning, stage fright and, and, and.

All of this is dealt with very specifically.

But you also get something from the videos as a non-actor.

Because you just like listening to Heiner Lauterbach.

When he talks about his beginnings, his stumbling blocks or his special roles, it is as entertaining as it is haunting, even if it is sometimes very detailed.

In addition, the 69-year-old manages to give his own experiences a certain generality so that everyone can relate them to their lives.

Heiner Lauterbach reminds us to stay true to ourselves

There is no one way to become a successful or at least happy actor.

"Many roads lead to Rome," says Lauterbach frequently.

What is a truism sounds a bit truer, more important with him (or is it just played well?).

"Don't let the individual take away from you" is also a sentence.

Banal, but good if you hear it again.

In short: it was worth it, and at the next opportunity I will put my son to the test again.
