Accelerate Your Career

Develop your craft as an actor by training in Film & TV Acting at The Online Actor Training Studio! Our expert coaches will guide you as you work towards complete naturalism in performance through our organic and grounded approach to screen acting, which combines scene study and audition technique with practical on-set skills and knowledge. Actors train in a unique approach called intuitive acting, which focuses on helping them be present, playful, connected, and charismatic. You'll be challenged from beginner to master level with a variety of exercises and 25+ concepts unique to our studio. You'll learn to put forward your best qualities on-camera that will create memorable and compelling performances that get you noticed by decision makers. Our actors have booked roles on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Peacock Network, CBS, USA Network, Lifetime, Hallmark, and more! Our acting training and coaching is affordable and accessible, with classes at a fraction of the cost of other studios. Observe a class for free to see for yourself!

The online format allows actors from anywhere in the world to learn our unique and highly camera-focused acting technique. Diverting from traditional approaches that are rooted in theater, The O.A.'s moment-to-moment (M2M) acting technique is ideal for online training, and fits the industry of today.

Casting has moved online, as self-tapes are the new way actors are seen for major Hollywood productions. An actor living in Toronto, British Columbia, Ontario, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Atlanta, the UK, Ireland, or Australia could book a major role from an audition tape shot at home and be on a plane the next day to Los Angeles! The key is being prepared for it to happen.

Our on-camera Zoom classes will help you be prepared. Join a truly global community of actors as you gain the skills and confidence to build a Film & TV acting career from any location!  There are no "terms" or "semesters" - actors can jump in at any time.

Getting started with our training is easy. For Adults (ages 18+) who are new to acting, take our Acting for Beginners Workshop, which runs 2-3 times per month. If you have prior acting experience, buy one class credit and hop into an Acting On-Camera | Scene Study class! Our coaches will advise you on an appropriate category and level of our training after this session.

You'll progress through the four categories of our ongoing training program, Acting On-Camera | Scene Study: Essentials, Intermediate, Advanced, and In-Depth. Essentials, Intermediate, and Advanced each have 5 levels, with 4 classes per level. Each class costs 1 credit. In-Depth is intended as a master level of sorts, with no level endpoint. These classes are mixed-level, and you'll receive tons of individualized instruction!

We also offer an Audition Technique Class for those training in Essentials 2 or higher, which allows actors to work on their own auditions in class.

One-on-One Audition Coaching, One-on-One Career Coaching, and Self-Tape or Demo Reel Feedback are available to actors of all skill and experience levels (ages 14+), whether training with us at The O.A. or not!

For Teens (ages 16-19), we offer Teen Acting Workshops! In these fully online sessions, actors will do paired scene work with focused instruction and feedback from one of our expert coaches.
