6 Week On-Camera Foundations Course Sydney
On‑Camera Foundations
Six weeks of on-camera scene work designed to give you a clear, reliable method you can take into any audition or onto any set. Script analysis, screen technique, and real feedback from working screen actors. Tuesday Nights · Saturday Mornings Applications Open
Over six weeks, actors build a strong foundation in screen acting in a focused, practical training environment led by working industry professionals with extensive screen and stage credits.
The course is designed to develop confidence on camera, introduce core screen technique, and give actors a clear, repeatable process for approaching the work, the same process professional actors use when preparing for auditions and working on set.
Two intakes are available for August. Choose the session that suits your schedule: Tuesday evenings starting August 11th, or Saturday mornings starting August 1st. Places are strictly limited in both, so apply early to secure your preferred time.
