      Can I put your 10 hour Acting Masterclass on my resume?

      Hey Lucas, yes you can and should. It’s a recognized course that our students make sure to put it on their resumes.
      Any training you get throughout your time as an actor or projects you work on will usually always go on your resume. Of course there are some exceptions, but for the most part you will put all your work/training on your resume.
      Cheers

But that doesn’t mean I’m trashing Filipino culture because we do in fact have a television show called “Maria Clara Ibarra” which talks about the past happenings of Filipinos and it was a book written by our national hero, Jose Rizal, and GMA Network finally made a decent looking show that isn’t all about love triangles.

    Native english speakers have little or no idea how much non english speakers like me and most people want to learn english and their accents. For us(Asians), the more we're fluent in english, the more repectable we become. You guys can earn a lot by teaching your own accents online even without a degree or qualifications
