Through six years of intense research and development, 2 million dollars of capital investment and working with over 6, 000 actors and hundreds of industry professionals, Actors Certified Training has perfected a course of training which brings the actor to an exceptional level of preparedness for film & television production. A.C.T. grew out of an experimental project that began in the summer of 2001. This project was focused on how to solve the communication gap between actors and directors while on set. As the project grew it became apparent that there is a vast communication and understanding breakdown between the general actor populous and the industry they desire to work in. The problem has been that too many teaching institutions have failed to adequately and precisely prepare the actor with the skills necessary to satisfy the needs of Film and Television Production. The growth of "reality casting" in the industry is one symptom. Accordingly, casting requires sifting through 150 auditions to find one barely qualified actor per job. In any other industry, a job might be expected to be filled out of twenty applicants. Several generations of wrongly trained actors complicate and increase the costs of hiring. Woefully unqualified actors radically drive up production expenses. This reduces the pool of available capital that could otherwise fund projects employing actors, crew, and ancillary trades that affect our industry and the economy. The solution is to correctly train actors to satisfy the needs of production by teaching actors to understand and speak the language of the typical film and television set. This preparedness includes the critical, nuanced language between director and actor. Actors are paid enormous amounts of money to simply follow directions and to, above all else, at all times, and under all circumstances, maintain a professional disposition toward the industry that employs them. The actor really only has one job, and that is to get hired in the most efficient of ways and to fulfill the needs of the production. Once hired, the actor is told where to show up, when to show up, what to wear, where to stand, when to move, what to say, and when to say it, all while enjoying a social environment with food and great people. That's just a little bit about us. Actors Certified Training 10815 Burbank Blvd North, CA 91601 Hollywood Phone 818.761.7986 Fax 818.761.7049
