Going Solo: National Youth Theatre's Acting for Video Games Masterclass

The National Youth Theatre has become synonymous with creating ground-breaking opportunities for young people, and the latest addition to its vast array of masterclasses is no exception. Acting for Video Games offers participants (aged 18–28), the chance to engage in online sessions in virtual reality, animation and video game acting.

The NYT's head of Communications and Digital, Joe Duggan, reveals the company's rationale behind creating such an innovative experience: ‘At the National Youth Theatre, we always look to be responsive to both the industry and the young people we serve. As acting for video games and new immersive technologies like motion capture, VR and AR become part of the storytelling toolkit for creatives, we want to equip our young people to express themselves and tell great stories using these mediums.’
