Overview

No education in the world does more to prepare you for a career in this dynamic and challenging business than our Two-Year Conservatory Program. It is the most selective, demanding and comprehensive training for aspiring film and television actors. And it’s an experience you’ll treasure throughout your career.

Everything starts, of course, with the pure artistry of acting. So the curriculum is grounded in the Meisner technique, pioneered by American master Sanford Meisner. Learning is experiential, so you do the real work of acting every day, in every class. We teach you to build on the strong instincts we first saw in your audition. You learn to take risks. And you continually expand your skills as you learn the intricacies of acting on camera. A hallmark of the program is the one-on-one attention, instant feedback and guidance you get from faculty.

Here’s what you will learn:

  • How to act honestly and believably through a rigorous curriculum in acting, voice, improvisation, scene study, movement and related studies
  • How to expand your basic technique to transcend the limits of the stage, so you master the naturalistic and technical aspects of the performance elements of film and TV
  • A step-by-step approach to the technique and discipline of the camera actor in all media, including film, episodic TV, daytime drama, sitcoms, commercials and voice-overs
  • The short-term and long-term realities of your chosen career, including auditioning in a professional environment, the business of the business and goal-setting
  • The skills, discipline and patience necessary to meet the challenges of the industry and position you for professional success
