Building on Our Success: More Opportunities for Aspiring Actors

Continuing the Legacy of Excellence
Building on the triumph of CROOKED BILLET, we proudly completed filming its sequel, CROOKED BILLET II, in 2018. The film premiered at the VUE IMAX Cinema in Leeds in November 2018 and has already won two prestigious awards. It was also screened in Hollywood in 3D in December 2018 and featured at the World Premiere Conference for 3D Innovation in San Francisco, U.S.A., in 2019.

Our journey of success didn’t stop there:

• In 2020, we completed The STAFF, a 2.5-hour feature film.
• In 2021, we wrapped up production on TRIANGLE in the SKY, a sci-fi feature film.
• From 2022–2024, we filmed two episodes of All Rivers Great and Small, a documentary series showcasing the stunning rivers and landscapes of Yorkshire, including the Wharfe and Ure.

Looking ahead, filming for the River Ouse/Humber episode begins in Spring 2025. As always, our students will have the unique opportunity to participate in these productions, gaining valuable experience both on and off the screen.

Our Adult Acting Classes are small, friendly, and personal to get to know you well, with average class sizes of just 8 – 9.

Equipped with a 17-foot screen, we offer instant playback of your performances in high quality.

CATCH 22 – NO ACTING EXPERIENCE?

Navigating this catch-22 situation can be challenging for aspiring actors. However, we provide a solution by incorporating authentic on-set location experience into our training curriculum. This integral component is achieved through our regular production of award-winning films, facilitated by a professional crew and top-tier equipment, allowing students to hone their essential skills.

EQUIPMENT

Adult Acting Classes for Professional Film and TV – Our equipment comprises professional broadcast standard cameras, which record to disk recorders at exceptionally high bit rates, mirroring those used in commercial films. This ensures that our students experience the real deal without compromise on quality. What sets us apart is our status as a film and TV production company based in Leeds, a unique feature among acting schools. This affiliation guarantees our actors access to top-notch equipment and constant technical support. Furthermore, we have the distinction of shooting in both 2D and 3D, enhancing the depth and reach of our productions. This approach adds an extra dimension to our films and broadens their exposure to a global audience, surpassing the reach of 2D alone.

ADULT ACTING CLASSES OUR AIM

Adult Acting Classes for Professional Film and TV Leeds main aim is to get students on camera and being a Film and TV actor from day one! We have our own purpose-built STUDIO with full GREEN screen facilities on all sides and painted flat walls, so we can do very advanced seamless integration. 3D and other up-to-date film and TV technical facilities are available, which means all our students receive training in those areas. Because of our professional facilities and extensive long-term Film and TV production experience. We can put actors in an actual acting environment straight away, something very few others can do.

GREEN SCREEN PROCESS

Our STUDIO is equipped with a full size green screen. The green screen process is used on Sisterhood of the Red Garter. Note the smooth green background as it’s painted on a wall, so seamless transition, unlike material that has creases and folds which often carry through to the finished footage, spoiling what might otherwise have been good

PROFESSIONAL STUDIO

Adult Acting Classes for Professional Film and TV Leeds are held in our own purpose-built film and TV studio where we can train students in comfort, not large open spaces or community centres, etc. That way you learn faster and better than anywhere else and we can maintain for you a personal friendly atmosphere that promotes remarkable progress from all our actors. To maintain the small friendly classes numbers are strictly limited.

PRODUCTION COMPANY

NFD Adult Acting Classes for Professional Film and TV stand out for our direct association with NFD Productions, our in-house production company. Since 1995, NFD Productions has showcased its work on prestigious platforms such as ITV, Meridian, Channel 4, and the BBC, alongside numerous international TV stations. Our diverse clientele includes renowned organisations like Citizens Advice and Yorkshire Forward, as well as various councils and local authorities across the UK. Additionally, we collaborate with several blue-chip corporate clients, some of whom offer financial compensation to our actors for their project participation. This unique setup ensures immediate access to top-notch equipment and technical expertise, ensuring our actors always shine on screen.

HIGH STANDARDS

Adult Acting Classes for Professional Film and TV – We enjoy working with students who aspire to get paramount worth while parts. Low-end work such as walk-on adverts, extra work, and student films we do not do or encourage students to do. In our humble opinion, no training is required for such work.

ADULT ACTING CLASSES – COST

Adult acting – £30 per session with a discounted session of £20 each month PROVIDING you attend all the months classes and pay cash. Payment due at the time of the lesson and you only ever pay for the lessons you attend.

Trial lessons are discounted to £20 per lesson payable at the time.

ADULT ACTING CLASSES PROFESSIONAL FILM AND TV AGENCY/REPRESENTATION

Adult Acting Classes for Professional Film and TV – Those who already have agents and those who don’t are most welcome. For students with potential, we can help with the latter.

There are many webcasting organisations, all claiming to make you a “STAR” less for the spotlight, which is a much more established organisation. They generally deal in low-quality work requiring little at best to no talent at worst. Extra work, short/student films, adverts, etc., are all low-grade work and are more likely to harm your CV than help it if you ultimately want to get worthwhile parts, particularly for adult actors. See some of the famous actors we have trained HERE

 

We work hard with our students as spotlight registered agents to fulfil the stringent criteria required to be accepted by them. This is, in our opinion, the only worthwhile online casting organisation. All the substantial/main parts, from Game of Thrones to the principal Hollywood Films, etc., appear here and generally nowhere else. If you don’t meet the required professional credits to be on Spotlight, you can’t apply simple as that. So we work very hard to get you there. Currently, 78% of our adult students have the required professional credits.

Lastly, we love what we do, so you can always be assured of the best possible experience, no matter your level of ability.
