The knowledge and skills I have gained from this course has not only helped me become a better actor but has also helped me gain an understanding of who I am as a person, build confidence, and know what I want out of life. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is seriously looking to take acting head on and never look back!"

The support and guidance given by all of the teachers, in particular Craig McMahon, has seen me grow as an artist and person. I highly recommend the course".

Alex Fox - Full Time Graduate

"My time at Film and Television Studio International was without a doubt one of the best times of my life. The course curriculum and teacher quality is beyond anything else I have read about or experienced personally. I walked away from the full time course with the knowledge and skills needed to start out in the industry. Every single week I was challenged and pushed to better improve my craft and above all the space and support offered from the girls and Craig are second to none. In my opinion, the only choice when it comes to first class education and training in regards to screen acting".

Alex Lloyd - Full Time Student

"I've been lucky enough to study with an amazing group of people under Craig McMahon this year. Craig and his teachers cover all aspects of acting to give you a holistic view of what acting is, while allowing you as an actor to figure out what works best. Couple that with the constant camera exposure and bonafide behind-the-scenes industry tips, I have never felt so prepared. Can't miss this opportunity".

"The team at Film and Television Studio International are the most supportive and professional team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I completed a full time course in 2015 and this amazing team has continued to support my craft as an actor ever since. I recommend Film and Television Studio International to all actors, whether you are in the early stages of developing your craft or maintaining and managing your craft on its life long journey. Each session is completely worth it with new ways of exploring your skills at every corner. Be prepared to meet your challenges within an amazingly supportive environment. The trainers are highly skilled professionals, connected to today's industry. Their knowledge being current and relevant to each and every experience. In my experience there was no time wasted. Every second of the course was well worth it".

Both studying the full-time course and 8 week text to screen-test programs, I've learnt invaluable skills from working professional trainers and mentors.

The faculty are warm and approachable whilst always providing a helping hand when needed. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to further their acting skills and career."

"Attending classes at Film & Television Studio International has enabled me to work in the Australian & American television industries.  The lessons, provided by highly qualified industry professionals enabled me to learn the important skills required for preparing for auditions, developing a character and working in front of the camera. Even though I have been lucky enough to secure air time within the Australian television industry, I still attended lessons at Film & Television Studio International as I recognise the valuable skills and support that both the classes and team continue to offer".

Our trainers were incredible and unique, providing us with valuable information about their chosen area of expertise in the industry".

"The full time course with Film and Television Studio International is second to none. Heading into the final 10 weeks of the course and I can say that I have never been so challenged to push my boundaries and grow as an artist.

Jake Nicola - Full Time Graduate

"The team at Film & Television Studio International really understand acting and were able to guide me to become a more confident and relaxed actor. I have had the pleasure of being trained by some of Australia's most elite trainers, who each care about getting the best out of their students. Not only did Film & Television Studio International transform me as an actor, I was also able to personally grow in other ways, which made the full time course that much more rewarding".

James Schaw (Gallipoli; House Husbands)

"Being a part of Film & Television Studio International is an experience that I wish I could have every day.

Lester Ellis Jr (Ja'mie: Private School Girl; Fat Tony & Co; Wentworth; Nowhere Boys)

"Film & Television Studio International has been one of the most important and vital parts of building my foundation as an actor. The industry professionals that I have had the opportunity to work with, through the various courses, have been paramount to my development and understanding of acting processes. I have also found that I have delivered some of my best work when working with Craig McMahon. I find his in-depth knowledge and passion for coaching actors invigorating and it inspires me".

Luke Mitchell (Blindspot Series 2 & 3; Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D; The Tomorrow People; Home & Away; Silver Logie winner 2010)

"Film & Television Studio International challenged me to get out of my comfort zone, take risks, work hard and ultimately become a better actor."

Marlaina McPhillips - Full Time Graduate

"Film & Television Studio International has delivered the highest quality and practical training I have ever received. The access to industry professionals was phenomenal and this course honestly changed my life. I cannot recommend this course enough and look forward to continue my studies here".

Micheal Doonan (The Railway Man) starring Nicole Kidman & Colin Firth

"As an actor, I can't emphasise the importance of taking regular classes enough. Actor's are students their entire lifetime. You may go years before you work professionally, and you need an environment that allows you to refine your talent and increase your skills.  I first started taking classes with Film & Television Studio International in 2010, fresh from studying drama at Uni, and not a whole lot of knowledge of what to do next. I immediately fell in love with the enthusiasm of the teachers and the intimacy of the classes. If I wanted to learn something about the craft, the business or whatever it was encouraged to be brought up and discussed at length. From these classes I started to realise that acting could be a career if you applied yourself seriously. Without the guidance I received from the studio I don't know if I'd be still chasing my dream job. It helped shape my path and continues to do so".  

Nathan McCarron - Full Time Graduate

"Great course, no stuffing about as it really shapes and readies you to work in the industry. Without studying here, I probably wouldn't be a working actor at the moment. Highly recommend".

Nick Bracks - Full Time Graduate

"Film and Television Studio International is by far the best acting school / community that I have ever come across. I have been fortunate enough to participate in the courses on offer over the past couple of years and have learnt everything I know about acting (and a lot about myself) in the process. They provide practical classes and workshops with the best acting teachers and industry professionals Australia has to offer. I couldn't speak more highly of the studio".

Nikolai Egel - Full Time Graduate

"The work I did in the full-time course with Film & Television Studio International changed my life. It was the most intense and thorough training I have ever done, and the teachers were magnificent the entire way through. The challenge of the courses here are not for the faint hearted, but if you're serious about being an actor, then there is no better place nor people to train with".

Peggy Ford - Full Time Gradaute

"I am a Melbourne Full-time graduate and I still train in ongoing 8-week programs at Film and Television Studio International. I have received invaluable training by some of the best in the industry. It's been challenging and I have been pushed out of my comfort zone and it has only helped me learn, grow and better myself as an actor. I can't recommend them any more highly!"

Peter Rossi - Full Time Gradaute

"If you are serious about acting then there is no place better than Film and Television Studio International! The full time course has changed my life for the better, not only as an actor. Craig and his crew of supportive, informative and committed trainers have given me everything I need to further myself in the industry. Thanks to all at Film and Television International for their continued support and hard work. Love you guys!"

Taylor Glockner (Neighbours; Conspiracy 365)

"I wouldn’t be where I am today without Film & Television Studio International. It taught me so much, I loved it. Wouldn’t trade that time for the world."
