What is the cost of class?

How do I get to work with Daniel and Danny?
Email us (or fill in the contact section on the contact page) Both Daniel and Danny personally review every application.

Do you offer Audits?
We welcome audits. However, we ask that due to the vulnerable, sensitive nature of classes,
and to give respect to those actors who are working in that class, we restrict the number of
audits per class to two actors maximum. As a result, there may be a short wait for you to be
able to audit a class.

Do you offer 1-2-1 work?
Yes – Both Daniel and Danny regularly work with Actors on a 1-2-1 basis. They cover life coaching, audition coaching and one-to-one acting coaching. For further information and for pricing, please email us.

How do you choose your teachers?
Every teacher we work with is aligned to our core beliefs and values – they are all industry professionals with vast experience working in the profession. Often we bring in guest, specialist teachers (eg Accent work, Vocal work) who will continue to hold our ideals when they teach.

What is your Cancellation Policy?

Our cancellation policy here at ACI reflects the changing nature of the industry. We are all working actors and understand the need to cancel classes – this policy is in line with comparable schools.

If class is cancelled 5 days of longer before the start of the session, a full refund will be offered (or transferred to another class, whichever is preferable).

If class is cancelled between 5 days and 48 hours before the start of the session, 50% refund is offered (or transferred to another class, whichever is preferable).

If class is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, no refund will be offered.

Transfer offerings are dependant on class space/availability.
