Actors Now OR Frog Management *Perth* — Theatre Australia Forums

So, it's not in any of my intentions to see which management is "better" in comparison, but maybe which is better for me, (in my circumstances). I am looking for a reputable school to do acting class's in film & television. My intentions are to get the education/training on how to work in front of the camera, for the agent representation side... just looks like a add'd bonus at this stage. My main focus is to develep my skills. I've always wanted to be in an actor and in this point of time (17) i want to learn more about the proffession. What it's really like to work behind the scences of making of a film, approaching auditions etc.

As a kid I attended various drama schools. Johnny Young Talent, Helen O'Grady, Shine Studios etc. So in retrospect, yeah i think I have "built up my confindence as a peformer" So now i think its time to step in up a notch. So i did a bit of research (mainly reviews from this wonderful forum) and it came down to Actors Now and Frog Managemnt. At this point I am stuck and indesisive and I want to join a class asap!!

So my question. for anyone who has/is doing acting class's in film in tv/voice over in Frog Management or Actors Now to share there experiences/opinions Do you feel like your benefiting? Pros and cons, Agent Representation, Inspiring stories,??... lol. My reason asking is, i get a bit warry before joining these kinda schools. I just want to make sure i make the right desision for me.. get my moneys worth.. you know... Any feedback would be muchly appreicated :D

Good choice I thought I would add. I haven't done either of the classes but have many friends who have been through Actors Now and I have done work experience for them and I am currently with them. Their classes are great and the teachers work in the profession so will be able to offer you good advice on the industry. Through my own experience (and I've been to many drama schools including Helen O'Grady) the difference in doing classes through an agency is the possibility of representation and the opportunity for learning proper audition technique, very important!!! However, and this may not apply to you, there are a select few drama schools out there that have a lot to offer especially if you're just starting out and haven't got a lot of experience. I spent years at various drama schools before approaching agencies and some of those school do productions which are great experiences. One such school is Joondalup Entertainers Theatre School (more info www.jetsweb.com.au) or community theatre such as Stirling Players which has a fantastic youth group known as SPY (Stirling Players Youth). Just a bit of extra info, it can't hurt!
