At our drama school we understand that the majority of paid work is for acting on film and TV. We know that acting for film and TV is very different from acting on stage. And we know how much you want to work in film and TV. That is why our drama school specialises in screen acting.
Our Drama School gives young people actor training and acting experience in film. Our practical drama classes are designed to teach a broad range of practical film and TV acting skills. At our drama school we believe that actor training and acting experience go hand in hand, and that young people learn acting skills best when they are involved in professional acting activities.
Click here to find out more about our wide variety of drama courses, from half-day acting workshops to term-time drama classes and long-term drama courses.
On our courses, students can choose to write, produce, direct and shoot their own short films, under the guidance of our mentors who work in the professional film and television industry. Students gain expert tuition and hands-on experience with industry standard equipment. We will lead you through a variety of filming and directing exercises that will help you achieve the highest possible production standards. You will learn to see your work objectively, and in comparison to other students' work. Whether you're looking to go behind the camera for the first time, or whether you are already exploring a career path in film-making, we can provide the skills and experience to help you to the next level.
In addition to teaching specialist skills for acting on film and TV, our members also gain valuable knowledge and experience in other areas on our drama courses. Transferable skills are skills that can be carried over from one activity to another, not just acting Here are some of the transferable skills that young people learn while taking part in our drama courses:
Our film making and drama courses lead to high quality films which our Drama school showcases in cinemas locally, then enters into film festivals worldwide. Members on our drama courses get to see themselves on the big screen, at the premiere of their film.
It can be daunting to see yourself on film, and it some people vind it very hard to watch themselves act. But if you want to become an actor or to become an actress, then this is something you may have to get used to!
We premiere all our films at commercial cinemas, where parents and friends can come and see the final film from the acting course.
Members receive a DVD of their work, which can be added to their showreel for acting agents, casting directors and future employers to see.
An actor's showreel is vital for anyone looking for acting work. It shows acting agents, casting directors and future employers your acting range and acting ability, and gives a good idea of your performance style.
An actor's showreel can be very difficult to begin, especially for a beginner actor or actress. You need acting work before you can get material for your showreel, but you need a showreel before you can get acting work!
Each of our drama courses is designed to produce filmed situations, through which young young actors and actresses create high material their acting showreel.
If you would like to make a showreel then contact us to see how we can help.

Auditioning is a craft. It is important to prepare and develop audition skills, much like you train and develop your artistic ability. While your previous audition experience will serve you well at subsequent auditions, due to simple repetition, it is something that you can learn and get better at.
In an audition, the first impression you make will prevail — so, make that impression a positive one! Not to be overlooked, first impressions actually begin with your application materials and correspondence with the organization. ACT 2 CAM provides information about the materials and tools available to help you make a positive and lasting first impression before you play, sing, or speak in an audition.
