Teens Film + TV Acting Classes | Age 12-17

Professional, practical, small-group on-camera classes for young actors. Six students max. Instructors are all working actors. Classes are held at a working casting studio at 788 Beatty St in downtown Vancouver.

Classes are intended as ongoing skill building, equivalent to the kind of professional classes taken by many adult actors working in film+tv. Instruction is always individually tailored to the students regardless of the “Level”. Read More

CLASSES

    The Summer Intensives are 5-day workshops in the techniques of acting and auditioning for film, television and commercials. Intensives run every week through July and August, and students are welcome to attend multiple sessions. Each week includes scene study, audition prep and skill-specific workshops (Emotional Access, Improv, Stunts, Clown, Voice) from Biz Studio instructors and guest teachers, and at least one (we try for two but it always depends on their availability) workshops with working casting directors (i.e. Tiffany Mak, Jackie Lind, Michelle Allen).

TESTIMONIALS

 

Stuart Aikins
Biz Studio is like an acting boot camp for kids. They are energized with acting work, professionals from the business and the results are staggering. I often come away from working with a class having seen new and wonderful talent I bring into my audition room immediately. Michael Bean is brilliant.
Stuart Aikins Casting Director: 'Twilight', 'Mr. Young', 'Level Up'
Brenda Wong
Kids who study with Biz Studio all seem to book more work, and isn’t that the goal!”
Brenda Wong Talent Co., Agent & Owner
January Wolodarsky
Tuedon is loving the class and has oodles of new tips to tell me about everyday. It seems that you are having a lot of fun too. That’s great! it wears off on the kids. Her agent Dyan has been watching the videos and is impressed with Tuedon’s improvement. Thank you, you’re doing a fabulous job.”
January Wolodarsky Mom to Tuedon, Age 15
