The on camera intensive course was amazing! I didn’t know I could learn so much in just 2 weeks. I gained a lot of confidence doing the course and really developed my acting skills. The instructors were great and had lots of professional experience. I am looking forward to taking more courses at VADA.read more

Had an amazing experience and met friends for life. You make great connections, and the teachers are always there to help you grow and answer any questions you may have. It developed me as an actor and a person. I was extremely intimidated by the industry in the beginning, coming from a small town with little experience. But my time in the DAP program at VADA helped me gain the confidence I needed. A great school to attend to start your career in acting!!read more

Just recently completed PACE 1 – it has been a great experience, instructors have been extremely supportive. I am new to acting, so this was a great beginner class where I learned the techniques and basics of on-camera acting and what is takes to be a professional actor. I am looking forward to PACE 2 and what it has to offer!read more

First off I'd like to thank the staff for the hard work for helping students like me get started in enrolling in classes. Second I'd like to thank all the Teachers for helping me develop into someone I didn't know I would become. At the the end of the day when it's all said and done, put in the work and I guarantee you will go to wherever your heart desires. Cheers!read more

Currently enrolled in the PACE 1 program. Not even halfway through and I already signed up for PACE 2! I'm in my sixties and never thought of acting before now. It is a blast! Great instructor and a fun class. It's the highlight of my week.

It's been one of the best experiences I've ever had. The environment is amazing. Everyone has been very friendly. The Instructor has been a great support, has taught us many new techniques and certainly could say he is a great teacher and a great actor. I'm excited to see what VADA has to offer for the next stage!read more

It's my sixth week in and I have to say this is by far one of my favorite learning experiences. Al is really easy to talk to and connect with and I feel like he is able to listen and answer any questions I or any of my classmates have in depth all in the while, having a great sense of humour topped with a fiery passion. I will definitely be signing up for PACE 2 and am excited to learn even more about the tools and art of acting and apply my new found knowledge on set.read more

Very interesting classes. I joined the school to do pace 1 - intro to acting. Going on to do pace 2 as well due to there being a different teacher which can really help you learn from different people. Al Mero teacher of pace 1. Takes a lot of time to help you and really listens to you. Lessons are fun! And I have really enjoyed going! Can't wait for pace 2!read more

I have taken multiple classes here (most recently the Ongoing Scene Study) and it is possibly the best place you can get your training! The staff are friendly and professional and the coaches are knowledgeable and help you in any way they can. Al Miro is great at coaching, he will push you to your potential knowing before you do what you are capable of. You just feel like family here! Highly recommended!read more

Loved taking the PACE 1 class here. Al has such a great way of pushing everyone at their levels and making the class feel so judgement free. Everyone at the studio has been so friendly and welcoming, can't recommend it enough.

A great place to start your training! I've taken part-time Pace 1 & 2 and Ongoing Scene Study. The staff are friendly and encouraging and there's a sense of community (rather than competition) among the students. Most of my classes have been with Al Miro - who is a fantastic coach and teacher. I highly recommend his scene study class!read more

I found this school online and I saw the awesome reviews. Then I got more positive feedback from my roommate who took the full Diploma a few years ago. So I decided to try out their Intro to Acting (PACE 1) and I love it! Our teacher's knowledge and experience is excellent and his coaching is on point and helps with raising the confidence and believing in oneself. Will be going for the full Diploma in September! Can't wait! Also thanks for the wonderful staff running the school who are quick at helping and answering any pressing questions! You guys rock.read more

I really love this school, you learn a great deal. But let me tell you why. Before coming here I did my research, I saw the reviews and read up about the school. I liked what I was reading but still being unsure I phoned the school to get more info. In the phone call I was able to get my questions answered instantly and I felt very confident with wanting to come to the school. Now having been at the school I can say that it truly is an amazing experience. The teachers here give you great feedback and personalized recommendations for how you could do better. The teachers do all that they can to make sure that every one of us is doing the best that we can do to be working actors. They push us to the best of our abilities, not sugar coating anything. We learn to critique our work and not judge it based off of the way we look. The best part about the school is that the teachers and the staff are working actors so we get first hand experience from those who are currently in the business. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to be a working actor. It has been a really amazing time studying here, I will be coming back again to continue learning and improving as an actor.read more
