Acting for Stage and Screen (Diploma)

Humber’s two-year Acting for Stage and Screen diploma offers comprehensive twenty-first century training for actors. Through scene study, exercises and collaborative projects, you build the foundational performance skills needed to pursue creative work in the theatre and in front of the camera. 

This program combines education in the art and craft of acting with training in business protocols and professional standards. Under guidance of working actors and distinguished directors with decades of experience in theatre, film, television and multimedia, you develop and apply skills in voice, speech, singing, movement, dance, physical theatre, improvisation and character work. You practise auditioning and showcasing your talent and learn to create and build a personal brand while meeting the financial challenges of a freelance acting career. Creativity and technologies that support acting are emphasized.  

In your fourth semester, you specialize in either stage performance or on-camera performance, and further personalize your skillset by attending your choice of specialized workshops—from motion capture, voice-over, screen demo and green screen, to virtual production, improvisation and intimacy direction.
