Sayantani, I do not know of any online acting school.
I think it is always better to learn acting from an institute because you will interact with like minded people and also get good placement.

Shivam,acting is a great career option,but you should first finish school and then make your research on the various acting courses.

Hi Anand,
I feel acting is a good career option.
Looking at the media boom,the industry will always require trained/qualified actors.
You never know when you make it big by getting a break in a film or a TV serial!
Since you are a software engineer,you can always take a break from work and take up a short course for 3 or 6 months to see how things work out.

Hi Mohit,
There is a high demand for talented actors for TV serials and Films.
One should always take proper training before looking for work.You can choose a long term or a short term course,its your choice.
You should apply in more than one institute.
You should also enquire about the placements.
All the best.
