A 7-Week Hybrid Training Experience 

This is more than a typical video course. For the first time ever, April Billingsley is teaching Emotional Access as a 7-week hybrid class:

  • Weekly Live Zoom Sessions – Every Sunday at 2pm ET (11am PT), join April for a Drop-In Gym and Q&A.
  • Recorded Video Lessons – Each week you’ll unlock new recorded lessons to guide your progress step-by-step.

  • Drop-In Gym – Opportunity to get feedback and coaching directly from April.

  • Ongoing Support – Send your questions in advance if you can’t attend live. All sessions are recorded and posted so you’ll never fall behind.

  • Private Online Community – Connect with fellow actors to share ideas, network, and support each other.

  • Lifetime Access – Your training doesn’t expire—access the recorded lessons and Q&As forever.

This blend of structured learning + live sessions means you’ll get both the tools and the practice to fully integrate them.

Zoom Class Schedule 🗓️

All sessions are Sundays at 2pm ET (11am PT).

Unlock Your Full Emotional Potential as an Actor

For many actors, accessing a wide range of emotions can feel inconsistent—or even overwhelming.
 

It’s not just about crying on cue or getting angry on command. It’s about doing it authentically, doing it consistently, and doing it in a way that protects your mental and emotional well-being.

That’s where Emotional Access comes in.

This course will give you practical, repeatable techniques for deepening your emotional range, while also learning how to ground yourself, regulate your nervous system, and work in a healthy, sustainable way.

Why This Matters.

Actors who can access their emotions freely—while staying healthy—have an edge in auditions, on set, and on stage.

When you’re no longer afraid of “going there,” you open yourself up to:

  • More nuanced, truthful performances 
  • The ability to recover quickly between takes
  • Less self-consciousness when working in front of others
  • Greater connection to scene partners and material
