-
The team here at Forge Film Acting built the on-camera acting classes we would have wanted as young actors.
-
While so many schools and studios offer training for theater, musical theater, and college auditioning, the gap for kids' on-camera acting training was missing - so we built what we wished we had as kids!
-
Instead of kids fitting into adult classes when they're ready, our classes are built for kids, packed with material written for their age group, and training geared towards the actual on-camera projects they can expect to work on as professional child actors.
