What students say about Vancouver Acting School

Esther Reich, FT Grad

Pssssst.... I booked my first job out in Toronto! Had an audition on Tuesday and it was all improv and nailed it. So, so, so thankful we did improv training in the intensive! I spent my time in the waiting room thinking about the story, and flushing out my 7 with the details I got from the casting director and voila!! Thanks for VAS and all that you do to help other actors move ahead! Who's happy now? This girl!

Meaghan Reynolds, Alumni

I am grateful for each of the students for putting in the most amazing effort and being free and willing to grow as people and actors. For making strong choices always and for being open to making strong and empowering relationships and for your commitment and passion every single day, I am so grateful. The instructors for having the belief that each and everyone of us can be amazing and that with hard work and struggles some days you can really be just that. I know I would be lying if I said I wanted to come every day when I woke up but I am glad that I did and I am so grateful to have pushed myself to do it even on the days I was tired and didn't want to. Thank you all so much for being the inspiring and wonderful powerhouse that you are. We have the ability to change this industry for the better! I wish you all wonderful things on your endeavours and I will see all of you very, very soon.... It has been a privilege and an honour to have worked with you all.

Ellie Heath, FTV Grad

The most integral part of the intensive that I've been left with is a sense of community. Sometimes the world of film and television can seem intimidating, but with a good arsenal of friends, mentors and colleagues, I feel empowered, and enthusiastic. At VAS, my community supported me everyday, and acted as though my future success as an actress was an absolute. We learned from one another, and grew, and I feel stronger, and confident as a result. The land of Film and TV doesn't seem so intimidating anymore, because not only has the intensive instilled me with a great foundation of skills to keep me grounded, it's also given me a great community of people to help support me in my continuing journey...
