When studying the arts, be it acting, writing, or music, it’s always helpful to seek out advice from successful people in that field.

The path to becoming a professional anything is usually a rocky one, and having some guidance from someone who made it can help keep you focused and grounded.

MasterClass is a startup hoping to help newcomers connect more directly with well-established members of a professional community. Founded in 2015, the company builds online courses taught by experts in the arts for students eager to learn the tricks of their trade.

The online-course maker has teamed up with career veterans, including Kevin Spacey and Gordon Ramsey, to give expert advice to students who are just starting out. Masterclass' courses include video lectures, a course book, and even direct instructor feedback in some cases, all in the service of helping you learn.
