Screen Acting.
Screen acting lessons at NFD offer children more than just the chance to perform; they provide invaluable life skills and professional advantages. Learning to act for the camera builds confidence, helping children express themselves clearly and authentically. By stepping onto real sets and working with tailored scripts, they experience the professional world of film and TV first-hand, giving them a deeper understanding of the industry.
These lessons teach discipline, focus, and adaptability, qualities that benefit them in all aspects of life. Creating a personalised show reel not only boosts their self-esteem but also gives them a crucial tool for auditions, setting them apart in a competitive field. Moreover, exposure to experienced casting directors opens doors to potential opportunities, while the hands-on experience fosters resilience and creative problem-solving.
Whether pursuing acting as a career or simply exploring their creativity, screen acting classes provide children with skills, confidence, and memories that last a lifetime.

What the students say!
NFD has brought my confidence on especially in the script reading sessions as it has helped me a lot with getting up at school and reading aloud. I have just had an audition recently which was advertised over the whole of the UK and I got the part. I put this down to Alyson and her team who has helped me to believe in myself.
Ellie Rating *****
I really enjoy the lessons; they have taught me about television acting skills. I have attended other schools, but they do not teach you this, only theatre acting. Also, it really helped me by being in one of NFD film productions One Fatal Moment. I really enjoyed the experience and learnt all the words that they use on set such as action, cut, a take, close up and many more besides. It has been really useful. I have just received a distinction for Grade 4 which has made me feel proud of myself.
Isobelle Rating *****
I have only been attending NFD for a few months and I have already achieved a high merit for my acting exam. I was very nervous at first, but Alyson and the other students made me feel really welcome. My confidence has grown, and I have been learning about interview technique which is very interesting, and I think it is going to help me in the future.
