What is the Difference between The Showreel Course and the Diploma of Screen Acting?

The Showreel Course has a high appeal to students who are serious about acting and seek a high intensity, challenging part-time year long acting course. The Diploma of Screen Acting in comparison is a Two-Year, Full-Time creative and technical screen acting program.

Can I have an agent while studying?
Students are welcome to have agent representation while studying at Screenwise – networking and industry experience while studying is beneficial to raising Students profiles.

Will the course help me get an agent and how?
The Showreel Course offers a unique business unit that provides actors with the business acumen necessary to promote your skills and engage with key stakeholders in the Film and Television industry. Acting is just like any other business – you have to put your best foot forward as you begin your journey as a professional actor. Having a clear understanding of the business aspects behind acting will ensure your best chance of securing the right agent that connects with your brand also.
