Acting for Film Course
We will be running our 7 day intensive courses in locations across Europe to help students excel in the performance industry.
Unlike other acting courses, students will be given the tools to professionally approach agents and casting directors for representation and roles after their course if they wish.​
​
End-of-week performance guest will be announced June 19th. These are industry professionals who we invite to shows and watch you perform
Why study with us?
Like many acting schools, we have a very impressive name. But who is teaching you and what training they offer you is far more important than the school's name.
​
Have they had industry experience? Have they worked professionally in the last 18 months and understand the modern requirements for actors - such as Online Self Tapes? Where did they train? Can you search them up on social media to see if they are actually a real person?
​
To do your due-diligence on teachers, its always best to check their Spotlight Profile. Spotlight is a casting website which only verified performers with industry credits can sign up to. You can see a full list of our Senior Courses Teaching team with links to their Spotlight profiles, here.

All students work on a basic 1 scene showreel during the camp, which they shoot with our camera, sound and lighting equipment. This is edited by the students with supervision of our teachers, as this is a necessary skill for self-tape auditions they may do after their course for professional roles.
However if you would like a showreel edited & retouched by a trained producer, we offer an upgraded Pro-Showreel for £150. This is optional but provides a higher quality of sound and editing.
Limited to 12 spaces per in each location.
