What makes Film & Television Studio International different?
Film & Television Studio International focuses specifically on performances for fast turnaround television. This approach to screen acting is realistic as much of the work available to Australian actors is on television, in programs produced at record speeds such as Neighbours and Home and Away. Internationally recognised and long-standing; these series’ give actors of all experiences the opportunity to audition, with great guest roles regularly available in addition to lead roles, so it is essential to understand these shows and the required performance tone.
Many of the most renowned Australian actresses and actors’ careers were launched on these programs – for example, on Neighbours; Margot Robbie; Ashleigh Brewer; Alan Dale, Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jesse Spencer, Natalie Imbruglia, Russel Crowe and Delta Goodrem, and on Home and Away; Chris Hemsworth, Luke Mitchell, Heath Ledger, Isla Fisher, Julian McMahon, Ryan Kwanten and Naomi Watts, among others. The studio also makes the link between training and work very clear. Through training, actors will better understand the industry and more specifically, what they need to do in order to gain representation and work. Guidance is offered from a performance and marketing perspective, so the actor better understands where they are likely to be cast and what work is required in order to get them up to the mark.
