Writing course: books, comics, TV and film scripts, press releases, interviews, reviews, copywriting...

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV scripts and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. However, it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One person has great ideas, but cannot convert them into ink (digital or otherwise); the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a language Nazi, but fails to come up with fluent, natural-feeling dialogue. The writing course from offers solace.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress.

Our writing course

Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring!

About our coach

To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing.

In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more.

Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients.

Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty – when he was still studying psychology at the KUL – and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment – the largest independent producer and distributor of role-playing games in the world – hired him to write the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently reading the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy working on Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed considerably due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, production problems, the death of one of the two lead writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis.

About you

During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write!

...
Ze bestaan nog steeds: mensen die geloven dat hypnose niet echt is, of dat het om een paranormale activiteit gaat. Nochtans werd al decennia geleden wetenschappelijk aangetoond dat hypnose niet alleen bestaat, maar ook erg effectief is bij het bereiken van allerlei verschillende doelen. Dankzij de hypnosecursus kan ook jij leren wat deze fascinerende staat precies inhoudt. Zo kan je niet alleen leren acteren, maar ook proeven van onze cursussen debat- en presentatietechnieken (onze tv-cursus), communicatie, zang, improvisatie, 'physical acting', leugendetectie, hypnose, regie, of schrijven! Natuurlijk blijft wel gelden: hoe meer je 1 bepaalde cursus volgt, hoe sneller je vooruitgaat. Je kunt zowel live als online les volgen. ‘Verlichting wordt altijd voorafgegaan door verwarring.’ Milton H. Erickson Wat is hypnose? Om hypnose te begrijpen, kan je aan zonlicht denken; dat is diffuus en valt een beetje overal in. Als je licht doorheen een aantal kristallen bundelt, maak je er echter een laserstraal van. Hypnose doet hetzelfde met jouw aandacht. Die is gewoonlijk op meerdere dingen tegelijk gericht. Zo zie je niet enkel wat er zich lijnrecht voor je bevindt, maar neem je ook dingen links en rechts waar, in jouw perifere gezichtsveld. Wanneer je jezelf focust en jouw aandacht op een punt richt, kan je echter een hypnotische staat bereiken. Onze hersenen Vroeger hadden mensen die over hypnose praatten het vooral over de twee hersenhel􀅌en. De linkerhersenhelft controleert het rechterdeel van het lichaam (behalve de oren), de rechterhersenhelft beheert het linkerdeel van ons lichaam. Bovendien werd er vaak beweerd dat ons logisch denken (waaronder rekenen) en onze taal vooral huist in de linkerhersenhelft, en onze creativiteit in onze rechterhersenheft. Dit is echter maar gedeeltelijk waar. De werkelijkheid is een stuk complexer, en bovendien nemen andere hersendelen het vaak over als een bepaald gedeelte beschadigd geraakt. In oude teksten – en helaas vaak ook in modernere schrijfsels – lees je vaak dat hypnose de rechterhersenhelft extra activeert. Tijdens hersenscans kunnen we inderdaad zien dat er een ander patroon ontstaat dan wanneer men slaapt of wakker is. Het onderzoek naar wat er precies aan de hand is, is echter nog geenszins afgesloten. Wel kunnen we met zekerheid zeggen dat de hersenen gewoonlijk werken alsof het gesuggereerde echt wordt geregistreerd, en dit in tegenstelling tot wat er gebeurt wanneer men zich gewoon iets inbeeldt! Tal van experimenten (vaak met PET scans, zoals het experiment van Henry Szechtman van de McMaster University in Ontario uit 1998, of het pijnreductie-experiment van Pierre Rainville van de University of Montreal van een jaar daarvoor) hebben dit al uitgewezen. Hersenexperimenten geven ons overigens een goed voorbeeld van waarom hypnose zo effectief is bij (onder andere) pijnbestrijding. Tijdens een bekend experiment werden proefpersonen bijvoorbeeld geconfronteerd met pijnprikkels van verschillende intensiteiten. Hierbij moesten ze rapporteren hoeveel pijn ze hadden terwijl ook hun hersenactiviteit geregistreerd werd. De subjectieve pijnbeleving van eenzelfde intensiteit verschilde enorm sterk van proefpersoon tot proefpersoon, maar vooral het geactiveerde hersengebied bij de pijnbeleving was interessant: dit was immers een gebied dat instaat voor herinnering en ervaring! Hoe sterk je pijn ervaart, hangt dus grotendeels samen met de manier waarop je ermee omgaat en niet enkel met de objectieve intensiteit! Je zult nooit iets doen wat je niet wilt Ook bovenstaande stelling klopt grotendeels, maar moet wel wat genuanceerd worden. Een bijzonder klein gedeelte van de bevolking - misschien ongeveer een procent - lijkt een staat te bereiken die wordt aangeduid als 'stuporeus'. Deze mensen schijnen zowat alles te doen wat wordt gevraagd. We zijn echter van mening dat dit niets te maken heeft met een slecht of labiel karakter, of met een absolute controle van de hypnotiseur. Wat er wel aan de hand is, is te verklaren met het fenomeen van de vernauwde aandacht. Omdat een stuporeus iemand zo geconcentreerd is op de uit te voeren taak, is hij of zij vaak niet meer echt bezig met wat er rond hem of haar heen gebeurt. Je blijft actief Gehypnotiseerde mensen gedragen zich in ieder geval nooit als passieve machines: ze zijn actief bezig met het oplossen van hun problemen, en zijn ook creatief als dat niet gesuggereerd wordt door de therapeut. De meeste zaken die hen overkomen, worden echter als 'moeiteloos' ervaren, alsof alles 'vanzelf' gaat. Lang niet iedereen heeft overigens het gevoel 'weg' te zijn: gewoonlijk behoud je tijdens een hypnosesessie contact met de buitenwereld. Het is net omdat het mogelijk is dat je daardoor gestoord wordt, dat er tijdens shows gewoonlijk wordt gevraagd aan de toeschouwers om stil te blijven. Het is overigens toch belangrijk dat je de hypnotiseur kunt horen, niet? Onschadelijk Hypnose is absoluut onschadelijk. Wél kunnen negatieve suggesties schadelijk zijn, maar dat geldt evengoed voor het dagelijkse leven. Wie voortdurend van de leraar te horen krijgt dat hij er niets van bakt, loopt het risico dat ook te gaan geloven wanneer het niet waar is, of om een deuk te krijgen in het zelfvertrouwen. Dit betekent dus dat hypnotherapeuten - net als alle mensen - zeker moeten oppassen met de suggesties die ze geven! Zo denken we dat de meeste (of alle) mensen die lijden aan multiple personality disorder (waarbij men denkt meerdere persoonlijkheden te hebben) verkeerde suggesties hebben gekregen (niet noodzakelijk onder hypnose) van mensen die praten over verschillende 'delen' of 'persoonlijkheden'. En wat te denken over waarzeggers, wier voorspellingen vaak waarheid worden omdat men er (onbewust) zijn of haar handelen naar richt – waarmee we niet noodzakelijk willen beweren dat het allemaal kwakzalvers zijn. Ook bij het ophalen van herinneringen wijst onderzoek uit dat men vaak dingen fantaseert! Hiervoor moet een therapeut dus oppassen, vooral wanneer het bijvoorbeeld gaat om vermeende incest of mishandeling. Je wordt altijd wakker Het is onmogelijk in een hypnotische staat te blijven 'steken'. Wie toch in hypnose zou blijven, zou trouwens gewoon in slaap vallen en daarna nuchter wakker worden. Het lijkt er trouwens op dat men ook in het dagelijkse leven vaak een hypnotische staat ervaart, bijvoorbeeld bij het lezen, het tv kijken, of het beoefenen van yoga of meditatie. Hulpmiddel Zoals gezegd, is hypnose vaak een uitstekend hulpmiddel bij het behandelen van allerlei kwalen en problemen van psychologische of psychosomatische aard. En aangezien lichaam en psyche enorm veel wederzijdse invloed op elkaar uitoefenen, betekent dit dat je heel wat lijden kunt verzachten of wegnemen met hypnose. Zo is er zelfs veelvuldig aangetoond dat hypnose erg effectief is tegen allergieën, psoriasis en angsten, maar ook bij het behalen van positieve doelstellingen worden er vaak hypnotische technieken gebruikt.
We worden allemaal wel eens belogen… en vertellen zélf ook wel eens een wit leugentje. Sommige leugens kunnen echter niet door de beugel en dat geldt eveneens voor het verzwijgen van belangrijke informatie. Onze cursus maakt van jou een levende leugen- en emotiedetector! Zo kan je niet alleen leren acteren, maar ook proeven van onze cursussen debat- en presentatietechnieken (onze tv-cursus), communicatie, zang, improvisatie, 'physical acting', leugendetectie, hypnose, regie, of schrijven! Natuurlijk blijft wel gelden: hoe meer je 1 bepaalde cursus volgt, hoe sneller je vooruitgaat. Hiermee schrijf je jezelf in voor een of meerdere lessen, waarna je ook de hele cursus kunt volgen. ‘Ik ben niet van streek omdat je tegen me loog, ik ben van streek omdat ik je vanaf nu niet meer kan geloven.’ Friedrich Nietzsche Leugens & emoties leren (door)zien We hebben het allemaal wel eens meegemaakt: iemand heeft ons in het verleden belogen of heeft de waarheid zo lang verstopt dat hij of zij ons heeft gekwetst of op een andere manier heeft benadeeld. Soms komt de leugen vanuit een onverwachte hoek, vaak zelfs van een naaste die we vertrouwden of een collega die onze reputatie heeft bezoedeld. Dankzij onze cursus leugen- en emotiedetectie leer je veel beter zien wanneer iemand je voorliegt… en wat hij of zij echt zou kunnen denken. Deze cursus is echter veel meer dan dat: zo leer je gemakkelijker emoties zien en interpreteren, vaak middels kleine signalen. Daarvoor gebruiken we niet alleen Facial Action Coding System (F.A.C.S.), het systeem dat je aan het werk ziet in een serie als 'Lie to Me', maar verschillende andere benaderingen die ook rekening houden met lichaamstaal, taalgebruik en intonatie. Belangrijk daarbij is dat we de lessen van iemand als professor Ekman – de man die F.A.C.S. uitvond en in de fictiereeks werd herdoopt tot Lightman — en andere technieken toetsen aan de wetenschappelijke evidentie rond wat wel en niet werkt. Niet elk detail binnen een systeem blijkt immers even universeel te zijn of even goed te werken. Daarom gebruiken we de nieuwste onderzoeken en inzichten om een zo juist en goed mogelijke cursus te kunnen aanbieden. De studie van leugens en emoties vormt zonder enige twijfel de grootste brok theorie van alle cursussen die we aanbieden, maar die wordt aangevuld met veel praktische oefeningen en natuurlijk is het leuk om proberen uit te zoeken wie van de cursisten ware en wie verzonnen verhaaltjes aan het vertellen is. Wil je dus leren om emoties heel snel te herkennen en te kijken wat er achter iemands façade omgaat? Schrijf je dan zeker in voor deze cursus!
No, we don't think that being able to sing is absolutely necessary for actors. Not every actor or actress has the ambition to play in a musical and not every series or film is sung. Still, vocal coaching is a good idea ... whether you want to learn to sing or not! With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress. More info Anyone who has ambition as a singer or who wants to expand his or her skills in order to be able to get a role more easily will soon find singing lessons ... but also those who do not intend to ever perform songs, benefits greatly from vocal coaching. You often have to be on set for a long time and then it is important to use your voice properly, so that it does not get tired and you can speak as powerfully after hours of recording as before. Finally, it is very useful to be able to put different effects on your voice. Just think of the raspy character of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the barking explanations of Samson, the full voice of Kabouter Plop or the grunted insults exchanged in The Chronicles of Sabrina. Judiciously used voice effects can not only add color to characters, they are sometimes essential or almost automatically arise from emotional moments. So being able to use them correctly and maintain control over them without damaging your vocal cords is essential. What you learn As is the case with almost all of our courses, we teach you techniques from different approaches. For our singing lessons, these are Speech Level Singing (SLS), Estill Voice Training (EVT) and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). Here are some things that will pass in review: • The similarities and differences between the three major singing techniques • Using support • The larynx, lips, and other organs that help control voice production • Add necessary twang • Add air or not • Different vocal modes (with CVT): neutral, curbing, overdrive and edge. • Variety of voice effects including: creaking, distortion, grunting, rattling, screaming, vibrato and ornamentation • For actors: relationship between voice color, effects and the playing of all kinds of characters • For actors: the relationship between stem kle Extras • Help with the CV • Assistance with admissions • Help in choosing the right equipment • Help with finding auditions • Syllabus with pdf of the book Complete Vocal Technique You can participate whenever you want!
Learn to debate, present, lead interviews, conduct (panel) discussions, read from an autocue and much more! With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress. With this you register yourself for one or more lessons, after which you can also follow the entire course. More info For more than 10 years, Badass Intensive Acting Studios has provided a unique acting course for film and TV. The team behind the acting training therefore tries to give its students every opportunity to achieve their goals, whether it is to build more self-confidence, find a fun and social hobby, or actually act in front of the camera. This often requires stuck out in order to enter the unpredictable world of cinema, often with varying results. In our renewed TV course you will not only learn all the tricks of the trade, if you actually want to stand in front of the camera to record videos, you will receive a free membership for a year at the Association of European Journalists (AEJ). You will also receive an official pass and access to both the press center in Brussels and the Dutch House, in the same European district. What you learn Here are some skills you will learn during the TV course: • Debate techniques • Presentation techniques • Conduct conversations • Provide Q & As for an audience • Read from an autocue • Basic skills with camera and light Extras • Help with the CV • Quizzes • Completely new syllabus • Press pass of the AEJ (validity: 1 year) • Anyone who deals with specific subjects and appears to be able to do so well can obtain a separate press pass (for example from Kinepolis) or receive review material (for example: games, DVDs or music) • Certainty of participating in our new online channel • Percent of any profit from videos you participate in goes to you Note that the extras are contingent on actually making video films that can be distributed through the new online channel, which we are launching at the same time as our web series, Four and a Living Room. We are not going to burn students who still need to polish up by throwing videos with them on the internet too early. A lesson lasts 2 hours and you always sign up for a 20-lesson ticket. You can participate whenever you want!

As a speech language pathologist, I have also worked with clients in modifying their accents if that is something you are interested in. Let me know your specific interests and needs as they pertain to the English language, and I can design tutoring sessions to work for you.
