2-Year Conservatory
Actors who complete NYFA’s 1-Year Acting for Film program may continue into a second, advanced year
of intensive studies at our New York City campus, to further build upon their training and intensify the matrix of skills necessary for a professional life in the lm arts. The 2-Year Acting for Film program challenges conservatory students to deepen their understanding
of the precision and technical demands required of
a professional actor. This includes: exploring larger roles with expanded historical context; recreating professional settings such as the arc of a multi-camera shoot day; developing a clown persona; performing in a live stage production of a classic text; and research methods speci c to the work of the actor. Students participate in an eight-day location shoot with a faculty director and cinematographer, and may create opportunities to collaborate with our lmmaking programs — all while increasing their dexterity in a practice that requires a balance between technical precision and emotional vulnerability.
1-Year Conservatory
The New York Film Academy’s 1-Year Acting for Film program offers passionate students the opportunity
to learn or improve their professional technique in
the art of acting for lm in the world’s capital cities
for the industry: New York City and Los Angeles. This immersive program challenges students to hone their craft in conservatory-style courses designed to develop skill, creativity, and technical pro ciency in their on- camera work. The 1-year program is an action-packed intensive course, paced on an accelerated, eight month calendar. Every week, students get the opportunity to practice the techniques and skills they have gained
in class with exercises that are shot and reviewed. Students who successfully graduate from the 1-Year Acting for Film program may have the option to enroll for a second year in our 2-Year Acting for Film program or apply to continue into the second year of any of the degree programs at our Los Angeles campus.
Short-Term Workshops
The New York Film Academy’s short-term workshops condense the most essential elements of our long-term programs into rapid- re formats created to t a variety of scheduling needs, including weekend, evening, summer, and holiday workshops. NYFA’s short-term acting for lm workshops demand full immersion into learning the theory and practice of developing quality on-camera performances as students apply their lessons directly to scene and monologue work. This active approach of “learning by doing” gives our acting students the opportunity to learn more in less time in a hands-on, creative environment.
