At TAFTA, we train our actors to Industry Standard, preparing you thoroughly for the demands and expectations of the film industry.

Over your three blocks of training you will learn everything from basic acting principles, to screen specific techniques that will maximize your on-screen presence, to voice and accent training, to learning how to create your own work, endowing confidence in the face of auditions and on-set experiences and giving actors all the tools necessary to manage their creative careers.

Unlike some acting courses, at TAFTA the majority of your training will be in front of a camera! You will learn to find comfort in front of the lens, and you will get copies of all your footage so you can assess your own performance in playback, and monitor your growth as an actor.

Our Full Time Program not only arms you with the acting knowledge required to become a professional performer in the industry but aids you in developing personal strengths and the mental capacity to handle the hardships of the industry. We hold our classes to the standard you will experience on a professional set. You will understand the language used, why the set runs the way it does, punctuality, longevity and the importance of behaviour as a tool to build strong connections with the industry professionals you meet.

The Full Time Program culminates in a Week-Long Showcase with top industry professionals from around Australia, including Casting Directors, Agents, Producers and Directors. You will also have a professional showreel shoot, where you will received a professionally shot and edited scene that you can send to agents on completion of the course.

Plus, once you have graduated you are part of the TAFTA family! With a team of actors behind the scenes, our door is always open if you need guidance along their acting journey.
