WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING
NIDA Audition Preparation

I left the week feeling so much more confident in my abilities and encouraged about not only the NIDA audition process but a career in acting as a whole. 

Lizzie, Sydney

Screen Acting Boot Camp Grades 3-6

My son is the shyest person I have ever met yet he wants to be an actor. My husband and I have been worried about getting him into acting classes because he is so shy. But he LOVED IT so he will definitely do every NIDA course at Campbelltown offered from now on.

Acting: An Introduction

The teacher was very entertaining and engaging. He pushed me in a way that was highly encouraging. My apprehension and nerves faded quickly. The topics covered were also very useful.
