Meet Hannah Monson

"When overlooking my time spent studying acting I see a comprehensive introduction to the actor's journey.  My lecturers equipped me with tools to work my craft and encouraged the necessary discipline required to reach fluidity and freedom in an art form that forever expands and enriches.  I am now an actor based in Melbourne celebrating the release of Glitch which marks my first major role in Australian television."

Meet Brianna

I chose the Bachelor of Arts in Acting at Federation because I was looking for a really specific curriculum.

This school offered movement training and voice training and specific actor technique classes and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Oh it's been the best three years of my life. I think the university has gone above and beyond what I ever expected when I applied to the school.
