The acting industry changed significantly in 2020

In order to progress with the changing industry requirements, we have adapted our YAFTA Acting for Screen Diploma to meet the demands of the post COVID acting industry. We have found that more auditions are being conducted online via Zoom, with actors then required to turn up on set ready prepared. As such, our online interactive Acting for Screen Diploma will be delivered with these industry changes as an integral part of the training.

The online diploma is suitable for those who are new to the genre of screen acting. Historically YAFTA has welcomed students who hold BA (Hons) degrees in theatre or stage performance that wish to hone their screen acting technique, as well as students who are complete beginners, and every experience level in-between.

The course is designed for those who wish to undertake intensive training to equip them with the necessary skills and experience to progress from beginner to professional screen actor within in 12 months.

Course Content

The course will run for 12 months, with weekly classes on a Tuesday evening and Saturday morning (January intake) and Tuesday evening and Friday evening (April intake), Monday evening and Friday evening (June Intake).
Classes run for three weeks of the month.

There will be preparation and study to undertake in between sessions but the course has been designed to fit around work, family and educational commitments.
The diploma is taught by tutors who trained at the world’s leading drama schools including RADA, LAMDA, Central School of Speech and Drama, ALRA and LIPA. Our structured syllabus and assessment process has been designed by Occupational and Business Psychologists who specialize in assessment and selection, specifically the design and delivery of examination processes.

STUDENT REVIEWS

Studying with YAFTA gave me two things, a vast tool box that I can call upon in any situation and a space to get it wrong, make mistakes and keep smiling through it all. The industry knowledge I have gained through the diploma and workshops will serve me in every audition and career decision that I make from here on in. YAFTA has propelled me onto a path that I will follow and continue to discover for the rest of my life. It’s exceptional training for living the everyday in the world of film and television.
