Brad Milne's coaching prepares actors to be at the top of their game regardless of age while immersing them in the steps towards becoming entrepreneurial actors or Actorpreneurs. The entertainment industry is changing rapidly and actors must understand that it’s a business and they have to hone the instincts to make good choices, take criticism in the right way, and know how to promote themselves and their work. Milne's students learn to act in and make movies from concept to completion. The acting program includes: voice, movement, improvisation, techniques, scene study, working on camera, character development, the audition process from first call through screen test, booking the job and working on set.
