Can I enrol in Becoming an Actor straight away?+
Yes. Enrolment is open any time. Choose the South African page (pay R2,500 in full or R834 a month for three months) or the international page for the US and Ireland (early bird $349, then $499).
Do I need experience?+
No. The course is built for complete beginners and for trained actors who want to go deeper. The only requirement is the willingness to do the work.
What if I need more training before Anthem will represent me?+
Talent represented by Anthem is either trained to Anthem's standard, or demonstrates the ability through other training and a suitable audition. Becoming an Actor exists to close that gap.
Is there a free way to get started?+
Yes. Apply as New Talent and, once selected for our Development Board, you get a seat at our free live Audition Workshop on the first Saturday of every month.
