Acting for Media at George Brown College at

The Acting for Media program goes beyond just acting for film and television and comprises training needed to succeed as a screen actor: acting technique, movement, voice, and script analysis. Students will learn to articulate themselves through screen characterization, on-camera experience, and audition etiquette and standards. Graduating students will have a solid knowledge base of the industry including its history, structure and hierarchy, and professional standards. Workshop simulations, on-camera exercises, voice-over demonstrations, green screen training, and training in motion capture suits provide students with the skills needed to be a successful actor in the field.

Thanks to technological advancements within the film industry, actors are being called upon to characterize in new and interesting ways. Students will be given a basic understanding of the use of such new technology as phonography and immersive environments.

The graduate demonstrates the ability to:

  • Present oneself for employment as a professional actor and provide services that meet professional industry standards and ethics.
  • Create a character as intended by the writer through the study of screenplays, storyboards and commercial copy.
  • Develop a believable character appropriate for the role and to the technological requirements of each recorded media discipline.
  • Convey and sustain truth of character using relevant technical skills with appropriate emotional depth and clarity throughout the shooting of production.
  • Work collaboratively with agents, casting directors, producers, directors and film crews.
  • Develop and apply strategies for personal, career and professional development to enhance work performance and maintain currency within the industry.
  • Employ improvisational skills for problem-solving and character development.
  • Prepare materials that showcase his/her skills as both an actor and an entrepreneur.
  • Perform the activity required for the character according to the recorded media.
