About Us

At Screen Actors, we have proudly trained actors for the screen for over 25 years. Our programs have supported thousands of people to develop their creativity, confidence, and on-camera skills, with many going on to work in feature films, television drama, commercials, and educational productions.

We run weekly in-person and online screen acting classes for adults and teens, alongside our All Abilities program, which offers accessible, supportive screen acting classes for people with disabilities.

Beyond our weekly training, we also host a creative retreat in Ubud, Bali, giving actors the opportunity to immerse themselves in their craft in a focused and inspiring environment.

Each year, we take a select group of actors to Los Angeles for an intensive training experience at both the Stella Adler School of Acting and the Sanford Meisner Centre. This intensive is often a highlight of an actor’s training, offering exposure to advanced acting techniques and a deeper understanding of the pathways available within the international screen industry.

Across all of our programs, our focus is on practical screen technique, thoughtful script work, and building confidence in front of the camera within a supportive creative community.

Our Philosophy

At Screen Actors, we train actors to work truthfully and confidently on Screen through practical hands-on training.

Our approach is grounded in learning by doing. We support actors to build strong creative habits, grow in confidence, and deepen their understanding of screen craft within a supportive and welcoming professional community.
