My time at STS was fantastic. I learnt so much from every director I had over the year and also from my fellow classmates. Anyone who is serious about their acting career should definitely apply at STS. To be the best, you have to learn from the best. I would totally do this course again! Alexandra Afflick

The thing I loved most about this course was being able to make mistakes, learn to act and give everything a go while at the same time being treated like a professional. It was a fantastic opportunity that allowed me to push my boundaries; try my hardest; and still have a lot of fun doing it! Luci Taylor

I have greatly appreciated the variety of styles and experiences provided by different directors and different texts.

Coming straight from the country to the city was a big change - but the people I met at school made it so much easier. I've learnt so much throughout the year and have met so many wonderful people. I reccommend Sydney Theatre School to all looking for that first foot in the door into the industry. Melissa Lovell

This is such a fantastic course. The change within myself as an actor is proof of that. I feel so much more confident, and feel that I now have the skill base to start tackling my career as an actor - whether that be further training or trying to secure work....I really love that the school is small enough that you feel every single person is important. I honestly just loved every moment of this year. Mardi Taylor

From day one at Sydney Theatre School I felt welcome and comfortable. I have had the best year of my life and learned so much not only in terms of my acting and the industry, but with myself. Taking on three completely different productions and working with professional and dedicated directors were experiences I will never forget and will take with me for the rest of my acting career. This course is absolutely perfect for anybody serious about becoming a professional actor. Michelle Ramsay

I learnt so much in my short amount of time at Sydney Theatre School. Not only did I gain the knowledge of what is needed to become a professional actor, I also learnt so much about myself. I now have more confidence to go out into the world and follow my acting dream. All of the directors I worked with were professional and created amazing pieces of art. The students were also an inspiration and by term three, everyone had come such a long way. This is a school that is going to do great things! Heidi Lupprian 
 

My time spent at Sydney Theatre School was one of the greatest experiences of my life! I learnt things as a performer I never thought I would have, which helped me immensly throughout the year. The layout was fantastic - doing three productions was great as we got to do different styles of theatre and got to work with three professional directors. I would like to thank Sydney Theatre School for all help they gave me this year. Steve Maresca

This year has been a very challenging and positive experience, at all levels, personal, creative and professional....The commitment of all the directors involved is, as far as I am concerned, astounding. Pascale Hair

Sydney Theatre School gave me all the tools, techniques and most importantly the experience to enter the acting world confidently with the skills and knowledge I require. I would recommend Sydney Theatre School to anyone who is interested in acting. Whether it’s just for fun or to start your career, it’s a great place to meet like-minded people and be coached and directed by some of the best in the industry. Amber Smith

The Diploma of Theatre Performance is the only part-time acting course that offers REAL opportunities in the industry: working with directing professionals who are challenging and active in, eg; the Darlinghurst and Belvoir Street theatres; performing at venues such as NIDA and the amazing incentive of securing an agent at the end of the year if my work was outstanding. The focus on developing professional conduct, habits and skills has practically assisted my step into a famously difficult industry. I recommend this course to anyone who is serious about acting!  Brooke Doherty

This past year at Sydney Theatre School has been an excellent experience. Being able to work on three different types of productions with three very different directors has increased my skills dramatically as an actor and taught me a lot about the real world of acting. Also, getting to work with a wonderful group of talented, supportive people made the experience all the more enjoyable. I would recommend this course to anyone who, like me, prefers to learn by doing and that wants an invaluable insight into the acting industry. Daniella Hoffman

I can't begin to describe what a fantastic year I have had. It's been a wonderful experience, and I have gained valuable insight into the industry by working with some of Sydney's most talented directors. The flexible night time/Saturday classes are fantastic if you choose to study or work in between your shows. Sydney Theatre School has provided me with the opportunity to begin my career, and I will always be thankful for the experience.
Belinda Popovski

What a memorable and exciting experience! Sydney Theatre School has opened my eyes to the industry through it's production-based course. Having being taught by amazing and enthusiastic directors, and developing pieces with other extraordinary actors, will always be an unforgettable experience. Anyone who is given the opportunity to learn from the best, gain vital information to pursue success, begin ‘networking’ with those of a high status...and make life long friendships all within a year, is truly lucky…. it definitely exceeded all my expectations. Ashlea Mary Cohen

I believe that you learn more when you are on the job and that is exactly what has happened during my time at Sydney Theatre School. Throughout the year I have been given the opportunity to work with three of the most amazing directors on three amazing plays. I have made contacts with professionals in the industry and I have made friends for life. It has been an enjoyable experience and one that I will remember for years to come.

I really appreciated my time at Sydney Theatre School. The skills I learnt were invaluable. The course gave me confidence and reinforced the importance and beauty of acting and theatre. The production-based training is the greatest aspect; it made me learn quickly under pressure. It made me realise actors are always a work-in-progress and should be constantly experimenting and improving. I didn't consider myself an actor before, but now I do. Julie Eagleton

I was excited about the idea of a production-based training style, but once I actually started - it really exceeded all my expectations. I have learnt so much over the last year, and will always value the experiences this course has afforded me.

I learnt invaluable skills for success in the industry, acquired very useful contacts and spent a year with some of the most amazing, creative people I've ever met. I know we will be friends and colleagues for life. Elizabeth Cartmer

Coming straight out of school, it was fantastic to participate in a course that is not looking for the best UAI. Being in a production-based course was the best way for me to acquire experience, build my confidence and understand the industry.
Avril Chestnut

This was the perfect course for me. I was able to keep up with my 9-5 job and undertake professional theatre training at the same time. It was demanding but worth every minute of it! In one year, to cover voice and characterisation; objectives and improvisation; devised, physical and classical theatre - was fantastic! Add to that great people to work with and talented directors that really helped me learn!
Ross Young

A great opportunity to work with industry professionals in a practical environment. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn about drama and theatre and the skills required to be a professional actor. Jacqueline Mendoza

Sydney Theatre School's Diploma course is unique! With three outstanding production opportunities in the one year, three very different terms each with it's own professional Director you really do feel like you are in a company...During my time at the school I learned more than I could have imagined and overcame so many obstacles on the way!..the course gave us an understanding of the industry; the fulfilment of achieving three plays in one year; and started the foundations of a “network”...I wouldn’t trade my time at Sydney Theatre School for anything! Bex Horsfall

Being in three productions over the course of the year was really beneficial to my learning experience. The course allowed me to work with good directors, and meet a lot of great people. Brynn Loosemore
