“Every time I speak about my studies or hear about anyone wanting to study acting in Cape Town, whether full time or part-time, I jump to suggest my alma mater.
I feel that it is one of the few academies that really prepare you for what the entertainment industry expects of you not only locally, but internationally.
Having coaches who are still working artists was a privilege like no other, because you get first-hand experience and expertise. You leave with an incredible toolbox of accumulated skills to help you excel!
On a personal level, it was an amazing feeling to have an institute show the support I’ve received post-graduation, as you grow as a performer and individual in your career. I’ll always relive my time at Act Cape Town and just remember how much gratitude I have and high regard I hold, for every single person who worked and helped shape part of who I am as a performer today.”
