Our Acting Courses

Intro to Acting: PACE 1
A great choice for beginners or those people with a theatre background who are looking to break into the Film & TV industry.
On Camera Acting Intensive Certificate
Similar to the Intro to Acting Certificate, however this program is a full-time, two week intensive course for beginners as well as serious actors to immerse themselves in.
On Camera Audition
This course is geared towards helping actors perfect their audition technique by taping their cold audition pieces, reviewing and critiquing them.
Professional Actor Development Program
This class helps actors manage their careers through goal setting, keeping statistics of progress, and understanding obstacles that hold them back.
Ongoing Scene Study
This is a course for Certificate or Dramatic Arts Program Diploma Graduates (or those with previous film & tv training).

The tools and techniques that you are taught are invaluable to honing your acting skills and developing your career. Attention and time are given to each actor to ensure that they receive the most out of their experience and become more confident in their abilities. I am very glad that I made the decision to attend VADA and I am excited to go to class every week. Thanks VADA!
