The Young Actors Conservatory is a comprehensive, multi-tiered program designed to develop in young actors the skills needed to approach a career in the competitive fields of film and television. Developed and taught by working actors and filmmakers, The Young Actors Conservatory encompasses technique and skills ranging from basics to final on-set production experience.

Level 1: THE BASICS
Actors are introduced to the basics of acting technique, on-camera scene study, improvisation and audition essentials.

Level 2: GETTING THE JOB
(For students who have completed level 1, or by faculty invitation)

Actors progress through advanced technique, improvisation and on-camera skills while simultaneously gaining professional skills through our Showbiz Seminars. These sessions are included as part of the coursework for Level 2 and are exclusively available to our Conservatory actors. Showbiz Seminars include information on agents, casting directors, photos, resumes, advanced auditioning skills, on-set protocol, career goals, marketing and many more tools for developing a career as a professional actor.

Level 3: FILM TEAM (Project levels 1 & 2)
(For students who have completed Conservatory Level 2)

Lights! Camera! Action! The techniques and skills developed in Levels 1 and 2 are put into practice in our Level 3 Film Production. Actors will be cast in a Conservatory- produced short film. This project will offer the challenging realities of a working film set while providing actors with valuable practical experience. The increased cost for Level 3 includes equipment, cameraman, scripting and editing of workshop dvd.
