Learn to receive direction, make the adjustment and stay present instead of protecting a rehearsed performance.
The online program is powered by the team behind Alza Acting Studio, training actors for film and television since 2005.
Founder Walter Alza is an award-winning actor, director, writer and producer whose professional screen career began in 1991, with more than 120 film and television appearances. The training comes from the working world of cameras, directors, auditions and sets.
You do not need to live near a major studio district to start building serious screen craft. Actors can join live training from communities across Canada and internationally.
Private online coaching gives you focused time for auditions, self-tapes, scene preparation, character development, script analysis and craft. You can work with an Alza coach from anywhere in Canada or internationally, without needing to live near a professional acting studio.
Break down the material, clarify choices and work the scene with a coach before the audition or self-tape leaves your hands.
Use private sessions to strengthen scene work, character development and the habits that support long-term film and television craft.
Whether you live in a major city, a smaller community, or hundreds of kilometres from the nearest professional acting studio, online private coaching brings the training to you.
