OUR METHOD

Our MOTTO: learn by doing, AND We’re DOING IT RIGHT

Our industry has changed over the years as has the profession of being an actor. The introduction of digital filmmaking has made the art form of filmmaking more accessible. Today anyone can be a filmmaker with the right tools, and in turn we believe anyone can be an actor, with the right education and training. 

At The Screen Acting Academy, we don’t believe in gatekeeping the industry but rather creating a doorway for anyone interested in learning, improving, and growing as a performing artist. As such, we developed our curriculum to not only create a space for actors to learn and sharpen their skills, but our method includes education on how to safely establish yourself as a professional actor in all aspects of the business be it film, television, voice over or performance capture.

Whether you choose to pursue your career as an actor later in life or early on, The Screen Acting Academy provides well-structured instruction and training for those who want to seriously put in the work. 

SAA has always gone above and beyond with their services. The coaches actually care and put in the time.
