OUR AIM
Acting for Children and Adults Leeds Yorkshire. Our goal is to immerse students in on-camera experience, shaping them into Film and TV actors right from the start.
NB An important point on why we train differently from other establishments.
Many Drama Schools and University Courses still prioritise acting for Theatre over TV and Film. This is a different skill set to that which screen acting requires; movements, expressions — even voice — are large, unnatural, and audience orientated, because this is what the Stage demands. At NFD we are all about Film and TV and that means we teach the acting skills that these media demand: naturalistic, intimate and camera aware. If your heart is in film and TV there is no point in developing the wrong skills elsewhere and then having to adapt them, go direct to the people who teach you the specific techniques you need to know to succeed in film & TV.

SPOTLIGHT
Working closely with our students, we strive to meet the rigorous criteria set by Spotlight, a registered agent. We consider Spotlight to be the premier online casting organization, as it features significant roles from top-tier television productions to major Hollywood films, among others. Without the requisite experience, one cannot apply to Spotlight, so we dedicate ourselves to helping students attain this standard
