Industry Driven: Teens is designed for young actors in high school who want to train with the industry in mind. This class focuses on the skills required for today’s casting world, with a strong emphasis on self-tape auditions.

Throughout the term, students work on TV and film scripts, creating self-tape scenes under the guidance of their acting teacher. Training focuses on working confidently in a mid-shot, making clear performance choices, and delivering grounded, engaging work on camera. Each class begins with improvisation-based warm-ups to build confidence and a sense of play.

Students without representation receive practical guidance on how the industry works and how to prepare for agent submissions. Represented students use class time to refine their casting profiles, ensuring their self-tapes clearly reflect their casting type and are filmed to industry standards. Profiles and material are regularly reviewed to keep students up to date and submission-ready. By the end of each term, students leave with two polished self-tape scenes, delivered via AirDrop or WeTransfer for use in casting profiles or agent submissions.

Be part of APS Industry Driven: Teens in 2026, where young actors train with purpose, refine their casting profiles, and prepare for today’s casting world.
