Start Here — Spotlight Academy

Welcome

Start here

Five minutes of orientation, then straight into the fun part. Here's exactly what to do first.

Your first week

Don't binge — build. The members who actually get good all start the same way:

  • Day 1: Pick ONE craft (you can switch anytime — but start with one)
  • Day 2: Watch the first two lessons of its first course (~15 minutes)
  • Day 3–4: Do the lesson assignment — make something small and bad, on purpose
  • Day 5: Book your practice slot: 20 minutes, same time, most days
  • Weekend: Finish the first course and tell one person what you made

Not sure where to start?

Music Production & Songwriting is free with every membership — six lessons in, you'll have written a hook and recorded it. It's the fastest 'I made a thing' on the platform.

Chasing something specific?

Dinner party in three weeks → The Art of Cooking. A short film by summer → Filmmaking: Script to Screen. Five minutes on a stage → Stand-Up Comedy & Performance.
