Learn Acting for Film | New York Film Academy Australia

This program is not offered in Australia in 2025. Please visit NYFA US website for similar programs available at our campus in the U.S.

In this weekend workshop, students are trained to acquire the skills to transform a scripted scene into an on-camera performance. This involves learning to analyse a script and character development, with a focus on genre and emotional range within your performance.

Upon completion of the workshop, students will emerge with a professional showreel scene that meets industry standards. The scene is filmed by our professional crew, using top-of-the-line cinema quality cameras. Walking away with a professional showreel scene can be your stepping stone to an industry ready portfolio that showcases your talent and potential to a casting director, talent manager and/or for use on your own online promotional platforms.
