Why should Producers and Directors care about training for actors?
Because “Hollywood’ exists to make a profit and untrained, unprofessional, unknowledgeable, unskilled actors are in part the reason for the eroding profit margins from this once great, profitable industry.
A.C.T. Studios is fully committed to bringing back the profit by correctly training and preparing actors to be “Set Ready” to meet the ever growing technical demands of a production. A set ready actor is one who can process and deliver the Directors vision, on set in front of the camera. When this happens quickly and efficiently, production time and additional cost are reduced along with a greatly enhanced product which directly contributes to a feature film or television show’s increased profitability.
To ensure an actor’s set-readiness, A.C.T. incorporates a state-of-the art curriculum-based on-camera training program designed from the perspective & needs of the industry decision makers – risk takers, executives, producers, directors & 1st A.D’s, casting directors, directors of photography, camera operators, 1st A.C.’s and all the other skilled crafts positions.
As the prominent leader in creating and delivering
innovative training techniques A.C.T. has perfected a curriculum that brings the actor to an exceptional level of preparedness for the film & television industry. Train to do it before you're paid to do it!
