When I started to look for full-time actor training in Melbourne, there were many institution names thrown around. But when I started looking specifically for actor training that was kind, compassionate and effective... when I wanted actor training that didn't desire to break students, but embrace them and help them grow, suddenly there was only one name that I was hearing: "oh, you want The Howard Fine Studio Australia".

The full-time course lived up to the reputation. It was not "easy". The expectations of the students are significant. But it is a course and Studio filled with a love of actors and acting. The faculty sets the bar high, but they will actively work to help you meet it. If you are passionate about your craft, the HFAS team will help you hone it. If you want a training institution where you will find a sense of community, then the HFAS alumni community will welcome you with open arms. If you want to work as an actor, then this course will help you do that. 

Professionally, and personally, I cannot speak more highly of the quality of the training, and the ongoing support, I have received. I will be forever grateful.
