As the Regional Congress of ANCEDRAM continues in Lagos, the pioneer National President of the association, Pastor Moses Makinde has come out with code of conducts of actors before going on stage and behind the stage, Gospel Film News gathered.

Below is his teachings:

1. Punctuality- Respect the call time.
2. Rehearsals- Over confidence kills, rehearse very well especially stage drama because there is no take two. Know your lines and have the right carriage. Also, understudy life realities.
3. A cell phone can be a distraction even while ministering both to you and your audience.
4. Costume- Your costume is to be determined by your costume manager. Philippians 2:5-
5. Gossip is not allowed
6. Whispering is not allowed, it could be distractive
7. Technical rehearsal is very important as it is where you can know what our rehearsal will look like with all the technical crew. Using the stage where possible.
8. Back stage drama is not allowed. What you have done on stage is gone
9. Half hour- be at the venue latest 30 minutes before time
