Professional screen acting training for Children and Adults Leeds Yorkshire—NFD believes 100% in “Training while Creating” as it builds strong confidence and communication skills for all ages and abilities. That is the core philosophy upon which all our actor training is based. When we train you on set, we create productions so you can showcase your talent and build your confidence!
We aspire for all our students to cultivate confidence and professionalism as actors equipped with strong communication skills. At NFD, our approach is structured to ensure a seamless transition from non-commercial film sets to commercial ones, synchronising with the advancement of their confidence, communication prowess, and acting abilities.
Established in 1994, NFD stands as a globally recognised, multi-award-winning institution renowned for its exceptional productions. Many of our alumni have embarked on prosperous careers within the industry.

OUR AIM
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.
STUDIO for Producing Film and TV
Because of our professional facilities and extensive long term Film and TV production experience we are able to provide outstanding real world set experience see http://www.nfdproductions.com.
AGENCY REPRESENTATION
Students with potential are invited to become part of our successful Film and TV agency.
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
Lastly we really love what we do so you can always be assured of the very best possible experience no matter your level of ability.
