Sydney Actors School has a clear vision; we are about providing the most personalised, hands-on, practical training in acting in the World. We are a Sydney based acting school described as a creative hub for actors and musical theatre performers. Sydney Actors School is the premier acting school in Sydney offering acting courses at a diploma and an advanced diploma level.
Simply, we have gathered the best teachers from across the globe, who have assisted in launching the careers of industry icons in Australia, Hollywood and internationally to teach our acting courses here at Sydney Actors School.
We match this teaching expertise with state of the art Production Studios that are second to none and a teaching philosophy that focuses on personalised attention for each student interested in becoming an actor. In some institutions you are a number, at Sydney Actors School you are an individual screen practitioner.
Being new, means we can be cutting edge. We break new ground all the time and encourage our students to push the envelope in all their acting work. Being the best means taking risks and taking risks requires courage, that’s why we are a selective program. We look for students who are committed, excited and strive for the highest standards. This makes everyday a Sydney Actors School enjoyable.
