• The Young Actor’s Studio course represents huge value for money considering the post-workshop takeaways and the ratio of learners to facilitators. The total cost of the individual items is approximately R15,000 including all extras so our price is incredible value. These courses include the following:
• Reel One Learners: A photoshoot (30-60 portfolio photos) with professional photographer normally valued at R2000-R3000
• The demo reel is all the footage filmed with the learner during the courses. As part of our Reel 1 course, all of the footage is edited together - it is a great visual reference of the progression and development of the learner through the course.  This can also be used when approaching agents and casting directors. Industry standard price for a high quality showreel is anything between R5000 and R7000.
• Independent acting coaches normally charge between R350 and R500 per hour. We offer 12 hours of coaching.

Yes, there are valuable on camera skills to give confidence to the learners in different scene scenarios. We feel confident that all our learners will walk away with a proficient knowledge of how to conduct themselves on camera and in an audition room.  Footage recorded of the learners is used in regular playback on the monitor, and forms part of the takeaway package, but, we believe it is their self-development and personal growth that is the greatest takeaway and reward.

We limit the course to 4 learners per group which is much less than our competitors who often will have 10-15 learners with a single facilitator. Every group at The Young Actor’s Studio has two facilitators per class and often 3, when we bring in external professionals as guests, which means a ratio of 2 learners to1 facilitator. Each and every interaction is unique, tailored and specialised to address the learner’s needs though individual attention with the facilitators. The self development tools and the personal investment Siobhan and Benita make in each and every learner is invaluable for their confidence, self-awareness and social development.

No not at all, our dream is to give every child the opportunity to come on our workshops and learn life skills as well. We believe firmly in the benefit of this encouraging, affirming and uplifting work. Imagine being given the opportunity at this crucial, defining age to learn, explore and discover who you are. Knowing how you come across and seeing yourself on screen. Learning tools on how to improve the clarity in which to express yourself in day to day life, we believe, is truly valuable. Not only do the learners see an increase in their self-confidence but also an increase in the love that they have for themselves. Being able to stand up and express your thoughts and emotions clearly, with confidence, is key in all areas of life. We endeavour to create a safe space for children to explore, discover and develop a healthy method of managing/balancing their emotions.
