Working Actors Academy aims to be the world’s best online acting school for children, teenagers and adults in both a group and one-on-one coaching setting.

There are thousands of young people living in remote or regional Australia, who do not necessarily have access to quality acting training.

Whilst there’s nothing like being physically in the room, WAA is the next best thing, and we are dedicated to making our classes fun, interactive, connected and genuinely powerful.

Our purpose is to elevate young actors’ dreams and ambitions through quality acting training, a safe team environment and practical on stage and on set devised performance. The principle of performance-based learning is at the core of what we do, meaning our students learn by doing. There is nothing like the amazing feeling of being part of a strong, connected group - and this is something we ensure all our students experience.

Our terms culminate with a screen-based and (more often than not!) self-devised Zoom performance for friends and family so you can see what the kids have created!

WAA Classes are fun, full of team spirit, and with acting exercises genuinely based on the real experience of what it takes to be an engaging performer.

WAA's style of teaching is based off our experiences of the tangible tools a working actor needs to be effective and powerful in rehearsal, on stage or on set:

• being in the moment

• being connected

• the application of heart, body and mind to a scene.
