Actors Now OR Frog Management *Perth* — Theatre Australia Forums

So, it's not in any of my intentions to see which management is "better" in comparison, but maybe which is better for me, (in my circumstances). I am looking for a reputable school to do acting class's in film & television. My intentions are to get the education/training on how to work in front of the camera, for the agent representation side... just looks like a add'd bonus at this stage. My main focus is to develep my skills. I've always wanted to be in an actor and in this point of time (17) i want to learn more about the proffession. What it's really like to work behind the scences of making of a film, approaching auditions etc.

As a kid I attended various drama schools. Johnny Young Talent, Helen O'Grady, Shine Studios etc. So in retrospect, yeah i think I have "built up my confindence as a peformer" So now i think its time to step in up a notch. So i did a bit of research (mainly reviews from this wonderful forum) and it came down to Actors Now and Frog Managemnt. At this point I am stuck and indesisive and I want to join a class asap!!

So my question. for anyone who has/is doing acting class's in film in tv/voice over in Frog Management or Actors Now to share there experiences/opinions Do you feel like your benefiting? Pros and cons, Agent Representation, Inspiring stories,??... lol. My reason asking is, i get a bit warry before joining these kinda schools. I just want to make sure i make the right desision for me.. get my moneys worth.. you know... Any feedback would be muchly appreicated :D

I haven't done classes run by either of the agencies you're considering, so I can't help you on that front. However, you seem to be a little confused on the distinction between an "agency", a "class" and a "school". Actors Now and Frog Management are agencies, not schools. They do not necessarily train their actors; in fact, most of the time, agencies take on semi-established actors who have already done some training. From time to time, agencies will run classes, which are usually open to the public (i.e. you do not have to be managed by Actors Now to take their classes). Agencies leave it up to you to organise your own training, whether internal, external or both. My apologies if that came off as condescending. I hope it's of some help to you. And good luck in your research. --- Louisa Fitzhardinge University Dramatic Society http://uds.asn.au
