      I carefully chose this school to teach me as I am a busy person and do not have much time to waist. I finished 3 evening classes and strongly agree that training is extremely important if you have serious intentions. Teachers are great, Simon Longmore is like a deep well of great experience and knowledge that you can draw from. School location is convenient and evening classes end not too late. Staff is nice, helpful, reliable. Overall, a friendly and professional atmosphere definitely helps to overcome the challenges of stepping into a new career.

      VADA is a very fun school to learn acting, I’ve learned a lot, about acting, myself and how camera tech and lighting works too. It’s important to learn all this too, to make it easier for everyone around you when on set. I originally took PACE 1 then now taking full year diploma and it’s been a lot of fun and eye opening experience. I’ve definitely grown a lot and gotten feedback from each and every teacher, learning different techniques and seeing their perspective of how to act. Very grateful to have taken this chance, and to be in this school, teachers are understanding and push us just the right about to challenge us, while still giving support, thank you 😊 -Alexander or Alex for short

      I recommend this place if you're interested in acting classes. They are friendly, professional, and direct. There is parking behind the building as well, using the indigo parking app.

      Took the two week intensive with Simon and honestly learned more than I expected! I always thought that I should move more.. do more.. exaggerate more when performing scenes.. but I learned that staying still, and calm while delivering lines is much for effective! I appreciated the freedom of making mistakes, and being critiqued on them which helped me better my performance the next time. If you want to be an actor and want to see if it’s really what you want to do as a career.. I highly recommend taking the 2 week intensive! Last but not least, thanks so much Simon for believing in me even when I doubted myself, it really motivated me to keep going and not give up. Thank you. Look forward to taking more classes in the near future! ☺️

      I took the 2-week intensive program with Simon Longmore and it was very productive. The classes are not too full, and the staff is very supportive. Strongly recommend it, specially for those who are not sure about what to expect from the classes, and prefer short-term programs.

      SIMON LONGMORE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH TEACHING AND CARING SO MUCH ABOUT HIS STUDENTS. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE STARTING OUT OR EVEN WITH ACTING EXPERIENCE TO LITERALLY ENROLL RIGHT NOW AND CHECK THIS STUDIO OUT FOR YOURSELF. THANK YOU VADA STUDIO AND STAFF FOR AN INCREDIBLE 2 WEEK INTENSIVE COURSE, I FOUND A LOT OF VALUE IN THESE CLASSES. I CAN'T WAIT TO START MY CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR IN VANCOUVER!!

      I really enjoyed the 2 week intensive program. Lots of value in such a short time, I’m very satisfied with the knowledge I’ve obtained and I would recommend this school to anyone pursuing acting professionally. The teacher/owner Simon Longmore is the man.
