We cover a range of exercises that are all designed to help aspiring young actors learn what acting is all about. The famous Meisner Technique helps bring confidence, truth and realism to an actor’s performance. What this means for our students is that once they develop the skills this technique has to offer, they are then able to deliver a performance for the stage and for the screen that is natural, real and engaging to watch! Students who have studied at The Actor’s Pulse have earned major roles in The Hobbit, The Mummy 3, Black Balloon, Home and Away, the Under Belly series’, Days of Our Lives and so many other Australian and International film and television productions. The school has produced both Logie and AFI award nominees and winners. “Pursuing an art like acting in the teenage years gives young people a great springboard into; and enhances opportunities within, the industry”, says Billy Milionis, the Director of The Actor’s Pulse. “Having that kind of experience early in their lives can make all the difference in an actor’s career”. "Acting isn’t lying, it’s telling the deepest truth" - Sanford Meisner.
