The casting directors, agents, directors and producers selected to teach for TVI Actors Studio are working industry professionals from major TV networks, film studios and prestigious talent agencies. Also included are working actors in film, television and Broadway, who are experts in their fields and provide a direct link to the realities of the industry.

Highlights of the program include individual guest speakers as well as panel discussions which also provide an opportunity to learn networking, marketing and self-promotion.

The Los Angeles program also includes a TV taping.

The length of the program allows actors the flexibility to get to know and enjoy the city of Los Angeles or New York City as well as pursue an acting career. Classes can also be customized to each student’s level, needs and interests. In New York, a TVI membership, good for one year is included in this program.**

*If you desire a longer training period, we can create a program for up to two years.

"Seriously, this eight-week intensive, is eight weeks of 12- to 16-hour days. I know acting is the right move for me, because I totally love it! We are now in Week 5, and I have managed to iron out the weakness I needed to, so now I can just settle down to solid performances. I knew I really needed to get out of the office job and get my headspace just focused on acting for a while. It has totally worked: I've managed to simplify it all and develop my own method that works for me - now it just all works.

The TVI course has been well-structured between:

- Actor Teachers with their own methods and what works for them, which I feel can only take you so far,

- Casting Director Teachers that don't know that much about acting but know what characters and the technical "do's and don't's" that get you the job,

- A combination of 1 and 2, which for me are the best to join the dots between creative art - and technical performing,

- Then probably the most important, intro to another country and market is the share of local knowledge between the TVI consultants. Stuff you could spend months trying to figure out on your own.

So, yep -- it's a great eight-week course to develop some more of the craft, get some local industry tips, and network. LA is where it's at too; everyone around here works in the industry."

"I had a fantastic time and thanks to your intensive I
managed to get a manager who sponsored my visa and I relocated to the US
on a 1 year O1 visa. I should get my 3 year one this time!! So
TVI really helped me turn things around and load myself with the most
valuable information I would have had no idea how to come across and
start a career across the pond!!"
