We have a few options for beginners: Private Coaching, Intro to Acting with Meg McLynn, and Camera 1 (which will feel a little advanced if you have no experience at all, but it’s still open to actors new to MTAS if they have some training/experience).
We offer a workshop for the voice, taught by Meg McLynn, but we don’t teach classes or workshops about voice over. We recommend Seattle Voice Academy and Drew Hobson for this kind of training.
Most of our acting classes take place in our Seattle studio in the Georgetown neighborhood. However, we offer virtual coaching sessions for actors of all ages and some workshops are held over Zoom.
Camera 1 and the Self-Tape Academy is open to actors age 14+. Camera 2 is 16+. There are exceptions, on occasion, so reach out to us if you have a special case. For actors younger than 14, we suggest private actor coaching or classes with Youth Theatre Northwest or Seattle Children’s Theatre.

We can create a Performance Video/Demo Clip for you at the studio. A Performance Video will look a lot like a self-tape, and is usually scene work, but can also be a monologue. We can put you on tape in our studio – professional lighting and audio, and reader service if you are doing scene work. Use the chat widget to chat with us about it.
There are a lot of great agents in the PNW, and we know almost all of them quite well. Many of our students hire us for talent agency prep coaching, and you can learn about your options for representation here.
Our sister business, Seattle Actor Photos, is a highly regarded, studio headshot service. The studio photographer is David Hogan, who you probably know from Mighty Tripod.

If you don’t have an agent, you will need to know where the local auditions are posted, and we highly suggest getting involved with the Seattle 48 Hour Film Project for their speed filmmaking competition, which occurs twice each year. Find their group on Facebook and introduce yourself when you are ready. Also, check out this page now.
