Pros and cons

Pros

  • Training and representation sit together: Screen acting classes (weekly term classes), School holiday workshops and Specialised screen acting workshops covers classes, coaching and talent representation under one company
  • A base in NZ keeps the programme aimed at the local screen industry rather than a general creator audience
  • Formats range from weekly term classes and school holiday workshops to audition and self-tape coaching

Cons

  • Support runs on email only, so there is no phone or chat route for enquiries
  • The Screen acting classes (weekly term classes), School holiday workshops and Specialised screen acting workshops programme is built around term classes and workshops in New Zealand, so it does not read as a remote service for actors elsewhere
  • Email is already offered by 95.9% of the agencies ranked here, so email-only contact matches the field rather than beating it
