Our mission is grounded in the three pillars of an actor's career:
CRAFT
Craft is about your skills, technical proficiency, and finesse in acting.
MINDSET
Being an actor is akin to being an athlete. Mindset is everything.
A growth mindset helps you navigate rejections and stay motivated.
OPPORTUNITY
Opportunity is about your chance at success. We want to focus on how to maximise those circumstances that will give you the best chance at success.Â
"I can't recommend training at Acting Mastery enough! I credit this to Ben Matthews and the school's intuitive, nurturing, and educated approach to teaching. Ben creates a safe and energetic space to play and take risks as an actor. He equips his students with accessible tools that have a powerful and often immediate effect on their work. Within a year at AM, I was booking jobs! The sense of community at AM and range of classes/coaches is incredibly encouraging. Whatever stage you're at, you'll feel supported and challenged by your peers and teachers here."
