The Acting and Communication Academy is one of the most dedicated teaching places. The staff here are all extremely friendly, dedicated and hard working. The Academy has allowed me to enhance my acting and communication abilities immensely. They have allowed me to build confidence in involving myself in groups at school, helped me with my expression in debating, and I’m now able to confidently present and speak in front of an extremely large audience!
