"Acting school?
Isn't acting about talent?"

Well... yes!

No acting school can teach you talent, but you can learn how to get your talent noticed and give yourself the best chance of becoming a successful actor.

This free online "acting school" will teach you everything you need to know to become an actor: where to go to drama school, how to find an agent, how to get that first role and more... along with tons of acting tips on auditions and the business of acting.


Made up your mind? Decided to give acting a shot?



Deciding to become an actor is a big step. So make a stop here, grab a cup of coffee and arm yourself with as much information as you can.


Should you go to a university and get a theater degree? What about just taking acting classes or studying with a coach?

Here you’ll find information on all the different options open to you once you decide to study acting, along with a breakdown of drama schools all over the country and what they have to offer.

You'll also find acting lessons and information on the different acting techniques out there so you can chose the right training for you.

Not all drama schools are created equal. Some boast huge theaters so acting students can get all the onstage experience they need. Others focus on those who want a film acting career through on-camera classes and short films. Some acting classes are big on preparing students for the real world through networking events, casting director workshops and showcases.


Whether you want to star on Broadway or on screen, this website will help you find the right type of training for you and point out the top acting schools out there.


What if you decide you want to skip school altogether and head straight to New York or LA to try your talent?
