Our Elite classes are constantly evolving, allowing our professional teens to APPROACH new challenges UPON ENTERING THE INDUSTRY.
Our Elite Teen Film & T.V. classes evolve with our students preferences. These classes are for our professional actors who require classes to diversify them from their age group. Our Elite teens is a new class but since it’s inception in 2019 our students have already been cast in professional projects including, Buckley’s Chance alongside Bill Nighy and Cartoon Network projects.
“While attending the elite teen program at TAFTA, I’ve gained many skills, including on camera acting techniques, how to plan, write, direct and edit my own short film, learning in-depth emotions in acting and how to portray them in my work as well as on-set etiquette. This has all helped me when I’ve worked. Having a new teacher each term, bringing varied skill sets and experiences, has enabled myself and others in the elite teen group to understand many different elements of film and television acting, as well as gaining invaluable knowledge from the very experienced teachers.”
