Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia - Our Story

Established in 2012, the Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia (HFASA) has become a cornerstone of actor training in Melbourne's vibrant Brunswick suburb.

Our journey began in June 2011, when Patrick Constantinou and Philip Hayden facilitated a series of masterclasses by acclaimed Los Angeles-based acting coach Howard Fine in Melbourne and Sydney. The overwhelming response from Australian actors, noted for their talent and dedication, inspired Howard to establish a permanent studio, bringing his award-winning curriculum to Australia.

In 2012, the studio officially opened its doors, bringing Howard’s award-winning curriculum to a community of actors eager for world-class training.

Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia (HFASA) has become a cornerstone of actor training in Australia, offering a pioneering curriculum that emphasises powerful emotional honesty, self-reliance, and artistic integrity.

HFASA offers a range of programs, from year-long courses to intensive masterclasses, taught by esteemed faculty from Australia, Los Angeles, New York, and Vancouver.

We pride ourselves on creating a supportive environment where actors can develop their craft, reach their potential, and thrive in the ever-evolving entertainment industry.
