Acting classes in Melbourne.
One-to-one coaching from a working screen actor, serving Melbourne. For children 7 to 17 and adult actors at every career stage.
Acting classes in Melbourne at Tingley's Acting Studio are one-to-one sessions with a working screen actor, delivered remotely over video and in person on a touring basis. The studio coaches children aged 7 to 17 and adult actors at every career stage, with scene choice weighted toward Melbourne's independent film and theatre scene alongside streaming drama. All coaches working with minors hold a current Victorian Working with Children Check.

Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Melbourne looks like
Melbourne's screen ecosystem centres on Docklands Studios and is underwritten by VicScreen. The city carries a distinctive independent film identity and a strong theatre scene, so Melbourne actors typically train and audition across a broader mix of material than Sydney peers.
Coaching for young Melbourne 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 Melbourne minors hold a current Working with Children Check, issued by the Victorian Department of Justice and Community Safety. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Melbourne-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 Melbourne. Accent work is available when the role demands it.

My son's school drama teacher could not prepare him for a screen audition. Freya did.
The self-tape setup advice alone was worth the session.
Melbourne questions

What check applies to Victorian minors?
The Victorian Working with Children Check, administered by the Department of Justice and Community Safety.
-
Are there Melbourne-based coaches on the Tingley's roster?
Yes. Where a student prefers a coach with direct Melbourne-market experience, we match accordingly from the contractor roster.
