Get Discovered from Home - Renowned Acting Studio Launches Online Training Program for Actors

TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - Armstrong Acting Studios has launched the first-ever comprehensive online training program for actors, ActedEd Online. The program creates the opportunity for new talent to be discovered from anywhere in North America, and abroad.

Dean Armstrong, founder of Armstrong Acting Studios, has been launching national and international film and television careers, including those of Nina Dobrev, Miley Cyrus and Devon Bostick, for over 17 years from his studio in Toronto. Now with ActEd Online - the first ever comprehensive online training program for film and television actors Armstrong can offer his in demand coaching to all participants across NA and abroad.

"To have a chance to train with the best coaches in the business has always required actors to travel to a major city like Toronto, L.A., New York, or Vancouver", Armstrong says. "That's very expensive and requires a lot of commitment from the new actor in a remote town or city. I am interested in giving an aspiring actor, wherever they may be geographically, a real chance at honing their craft, and potentially an opportunity to train with me in L.A. I'm giving them a chance to see if they've got what it takes ".

ActEd Online is a rigorous training program for actors of all ages and levels looking to master the on-camera audition. After completing the instructional video modules and their assignments, actors can submit their own showcase audition for review by an ActEd resident coach, and a chance to be flown to L.A for an all expense paid trip to take a master class with Dean himself. "My passion is inspiring people and launching careers, and I know that there are some exciting undiscovered actors in small towns right now looking for an opportunity to be seen, and this is it".

ActEd Online is a Virtual Training Facility for both aspiring and experienced actors in film + television. ActEd Online Part One: The On-Camera Audition is the first in a series of interactive on-camera training programs designed to foster self-guided understanding, growth and independency. Now, this is key: ActEd inspires and challenges actors to change the way they think about themselves and how they approach their work. ActEd promotes actors to learn independently - outside of instruction and direction. We are most interested in actors doing for themselves; understanding what is working and what is not, and knowing how to fix it.
