Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Canberra looks like
Canberra has a small but active creative community centred on the Canberra Theatre Centre and a growing independent film scene. Most Canberra-based actors audition for NSW and Victorian productions via self-tape or by driving to Sydney.
Coaching for young Canberra actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Canberra minors hold a current Working with Vulnerable People Check, issued by Access Canberra. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Canberra-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Canberra. Accent work is available when the role demands it.
