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 Evenings - Starts Sept 29th Saturday Mornings - Starts Oct 3rd
On-Camera Foundations (Stage 1) gives actors a strong foundation in screen acting over six weeks, 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. Choose the session that suits your schedule: Tuesday evenings with Olivia Stambouliah starting September 29th, or Saturday mornings with Matt Levett starting October 3rd. Places are strictly limited in both, so apply early to secure your preferred time.

Who Is This Course For?
This course is the starting point for training at The Actors Workout. Most actors will begin here before moving into our ongoing classes.
It is designed for actors who want a clear process, practical tools, and consistent on-camera practice in a focused, professional environment.
Actors with significant experience may be eligible to move directly into advanced classes.
Strictly Limited
This course is intentionally kept small so every actor gets real time on camera, direct feedback, and space to build their work properly.
It's not a lecture, it's a working room.
This course fills quickly each intake.
