manchester school of acting
outstanding experience in television, film & theatre acting
courses
We invest heavily in all of our students, doing everything that we can to help them realise their full potential
For those serious about acting
Our rigorous classes and workshops form a complete and comprehensive alternative to full-time drama school
Manchester School of Acting provides intensive workshops and tools for those serious about developing as a professional actor
We do not subscribe to one single method of acting. Like the industry in which we work, our unique approach, style and content is ever evolving. There are no other acting classes, acting lessons, drama schools, theatre workshops or teachers that MSA is involved with in the UK. Any other school or coach claiming to use our system is doing so without our permission, knowledge or approval
