In this class, students are exposed to the critical knowledge needed to navigate through Vancouver's acting industry and be shown the skills necessary to increase the chances of success as a working actor/actress. Using scenes from various films and television shows, students will learn the basics of acting, how to adjust for the camera, audition process, and the ins and outs of being on-set.
All of our instructors have experience in the industry, and are excited to share their knowledge and experience with a new generation of actors.
Our program is a mixture of acting workshops, audition prep, and scene study. Our goal is to help future actors develop their abilities, and learn about all aspects of the industry.
This year we are excited to announce our new Level 1 and Level 2 Program!
The goal of the new program is to allow students with serious aspirations of working in the Film Industry to challenge themselves and get used to the expectations of working as a professional actor in Vancouver.
Our classes will still be primarily separated by age, but will additionally be split into ‘Level 1’ and ‘Level 2’ classes. Students who wish to join the Level 2 class must have permission from the teacher before they are scheduled. Permission will be given based on past class experience or one 30-minute trial lesson with the teacher in question. After the trial, they will give their recommendation for what Level would be the best fit for the student.
If you would like further details on our Level 1 and Level 2 classes, please contact us!
Please note that all our group classes run weekly from September – June with a short holiday break in December/January.

Work from the ground up to be the best performer you can be!
