Monika Dalman Casting

We have been working quietly on something for a long time, and we are finally ready to share it.

Since 2023, I have worked on over 100 Vertical Microdrama projects across more than 20 platforms worldwide. Most of these I have cast. I have sat in casting rooms and decision making conversations with platforms, producers, directors, writers, marketing departments, & EPs, and my team has watched literally thousands of Vertical Microdrama auditions.

Over the past 6 months, I have carefully built a professional curriculum specifically for trained actors who want to understand the performance language and pacing that Vertical Microdrama clients are actually asking for. One of my degrees is in Education with a minor in Curriculum and Instruction, and this curriculum was built using both industry experience and formal curriculum design training, which is very exciting for me.

This is not a beginner course. It's an intentionally and carefully crafted 8 to 12 Week program designed to be taught by professional acting instructors, for actors who already have training as actors and who want to work smarter in this format.

We feel confident there will not be another curriculum built by someone with formal training in curriculum design who has also worked hands on with over 20 Vertical Microdrama platforms and sat in these rooms having these conversations.

Acting schools that take advantage of actors are not ok with me. This is not just a cash grab acting class. We will publicly list licensed instructors and schools, and we will track actors who successfully complete the curriculum, so the training actually means something.

This will be an in-person course at first, though we are doing a test-run for online also and there will be a fun announcement about that in about a month (our lips are sealed until then!)

More details coming soon, including access through select acting schools and online testing.

In the meantime, if you attend an in-person acting school and you want your school to learn more about licensing the curriculum, ask them to contact [email protected] and our team will do a meeting/demo with them. Please no DMs, they will get buried.
