That’s right. After 16 long years of being one of the most highly regarded acting schools in the country, the Toronto Academy of Acting has finally become an officially recognized academic institution. HECK YES!! And once we finish our obligatory 30 days and 30 nights of champagne showers and wild victory parties, we will be launching a brand new four month full time film acting program. Starting in the fall of 2012, our Essentials For Acting program will offer students intense and comprehensive instruction on film acting that will cover everything from Meisner Acting Technique, Method Acting Technique, Susan Batson Acting Technique, and the opportunity to shoot film scenes with a director that will be edited for students’ demo reels. Students can expect to learn how to audition for commercials, film and television, and how to manage their career as if it is a business.
“The Toronto Academy of Acting has been known to attract students from all over the world, including Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, England, Italy and the US. Interestingly enough, even students from Los Angeles have come up to attend our Academy. These students have enjoyed not only high quality instruction from seasoned industry professionals, but also the ability to test the waters of acting to find out if it’s right for them” says academy founder and President Susan Burych. The Toronto Academy of Acting prides itself on being a school that mentors its students during and after their course, and most importantly allows them to discover their potential in a relatively short amount of time. Students benefit from our diverse curriculum that has given so many the skills to compete in Toronto’s booming film and television industry.
Still on the fence about it? Well it helps to know that the Toronto Academy of Acting is the only acting school that offers to help students build their demo reels. In addition to this, graduates can expect to be introduced to talent agents, directors and producers. “We never wanted to be the type of school to treat our students like numbers,” says Susan. “We want to find people who are passionate about acting, nurture them, and do everything we can to ensure that our homegrown talent shines”.
