MIKE MIGLIARA’s MOTTO: learn by doing, AND We’re DOING IT RIGHT
Our industry has evolved over the years, and so has the profession of acting. With the advent of digital filmmaking, the art of filmmaking has become more accessible. Today, anyone can become a filmmaker with the right tools, and we believe anyone can become an actor with the right education and training.
At The Screen Acting Academy, founded by Mike Migliara, we aim to create opportunities rather than barriers for those interested in learning, improving, and growing as performing artists. Mike's innovative curriculum is designed not only to help actors learn and refine their skills but also to provide comprehensive education on how to safely establish oneself as a professional actor across film, television, voice-over, and performance capture.
Whether you decide to pursue your acting career later in life or start early, The Screen Acting Academy offers well-structured instruction and training for those committed to putting in the work. Join us and discover how Mike Migliara's methodologies can help you achieve your dreams in the performing arts.
