Program Overview

Do you imagine being a professional actor and entrepreneur in today’s ever-changing film and television sector?

As an actor, you are a highly versatile and authentic storyteller who understands the importance of a meaningful connection with your audience and the value of creating your own opportunities for success in the entertainment industry.

Toronto – sometimes called Hollywood North – and the surrounding region known as “The Golden Horseshoe” ranks third in film and television production in North America and ranks second as an exporter of television programming in North America.

Our focus continues to be superior actor training with courses in voice, speech, movement, scene study and auditioning for film and television. We are also one of the few Canadian post-secondary institutions that offer direct instruction in The Meisner Technique, one of the foremost acting techniques taught today. But in light of the changing nature of the industry you will also study film editing, screenwriting, stunt training, voiceover acting, self-marketing and acting with technology (eg. Green Screen), with an emphasis on creating your own work.

Program Highlights:

  • Extensive hands-on experience taking scene study and short film projects from script to screen using the latest technology.
  • Establish a professional portfolio including a resume, headshots, demo reels, and voiceover demo that reflects your individual style and acting technique.
  • Collaborate with future directors and producers in Niagara College’s renowned Broadcasting – Radio, Television and Film program on short films, commercials and music videos.
  • One of few Canadian programs to offer direct instruction in The Meisner Technique—one of the most popular techniques of modern acting.
  • Recognized by the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA) with graduates granted immediate ACTRA apprentice status.
  • Interact with working industry professionals (our instructors as well as directors, actors and producers) through our ‘Up Close and Personal’ series.
