Matt Levett acting class The Actors Workout Sydney

Over eight weeks, actors will build a strong foundation in screen acting in a focused, practical training environment led by Matt Levett (A Place To Call Home, Heath Ledger Scholarship Winner).

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.

What to Expect

Scene Work for Camera
Develop scenes through off-camera rehearsal and on-camera application, building work that translates truthfully to screen.
Script Analysis
Learn how to break down a scene, explore it off-camera, and build clear, playable choices that hold up on screen.
On-Camera Technique
Understand eyelines, framing, continuity, and how small adjustments affect performance on screen.
Natural, Grounded Work
Build performances that feel simple, honest, and believable without overcomplicating the work.
Taking Direction
Learn how to adjust your performance quickly and confidently based on clear direction.
A Strong Foundation
