What Acting Classes and Certifications You Get

In the Platinum Program, you’ll complete 10 full certifications across every major category of performance. This includes acting for film and TV, commercial work, modeling, and voice-over — giving you the skills, confidence, and portfolio to pursue a professional career in entertainment.

Each certification is 8–10 weeks long and led by industry-experienced coaches. You can complete them all yourself or share with other family members in your household.

Certification 1: 10 Audition Styles & Self-Taping

Description: Learn how to prepare and film high-quality self-tapes for the 10 most common audition formats. From commercial reads to monologues and cold reads, this course teaches you how to deliver what casting directors expect.

Why it matters: Without polished self-tapes, most actors never get called in. This skill is critical to even be considered for roles in film, TV, or commercials.

Certification 2: 20 Styles of Commercial Work

Description: Train in the performance styles used in commercials across categories like retail, lifestyle, UGC, and hosting. Includes voice, physicality, and branding technique.

Why it matters: Commercials are a key entry point for paid acting work. Knowing how to adapt to different ad formats opens doors to frequent and well-paying bookings.

Certification 3: TV Series / Episodic Training

Description: Study multi-cam and single-cam TV acting, practice live reads, and rehearse real-world scripts. Learn to hit marks, stay in frame, and deliver network-quality scenes.

Why it matters: TV acting is a major career goal for many performers. This certification helps you compete for episodic roles with professional-level technique and confidence.

Certification 4: Film Acting – Chubbuck Technique

Description: Develop screen acting fundamentals including scene objectives, realism, pacing, and subtle emotional delivery for the camera.

Why it matters: Film demands nuance. This course helps you avoid overacting and teaches how to be believable and compelling in cinematic roles.

Certification 5: Advanced Film – Meisner Method

Description: Learn to respond truthfully in real-time using repetition, emotional preparation, and moment-to-moment connection through Meisner Technique training.

Why it matters: Meisner-trained actors are highly respected for their depth and authenticity. This course deepens your emotional availability and scene presence.

Voice-Over Certification 1: Commercial & Narration

Build your vocal technique and record VO content for commercials, narration, IVR, and branding.

Why it matters: Voice-over is a growing market with broad demand. These are the foundational skills that book consistent jobs.

Voice-Over Certification 2 – Animation, Trailers, Audiobooks & Gaming

Take your voice-over skills to the next level by mastering performance styles for animated characters, dramatic trailers, immersive audiobooks, and dynamic video game dialogue. You’ll explore vocal range, tone shifts, pacing, and emotional delivery while building a competitive VO demo reel.

Why it matters: These fast-growing VO niches demand specialized techniques. Whether you’re aiming to voice a cartoon character, narrate stories, or perform cinematic game dialogue, this certification gives you the creative tools to succeed.
