All about Brave Studios
Brave Studios is an actors’ and performers training studio based in Melbourne, Australia. Brave is now in it’s 10th year of offering innovative and practical short courses in the art of acting for the camera, presentation, voiceover and auditioning.
It is Brave Studios policy to only employ teachers of the highest quality who have extensive industry experience as actors, directors, voice teachers and casting directors, to ensure that students receive a broad range of expertise and industry knowledge as part of their learning. All of our courses are designed to develop and enhance each students’ natural abilities. Unlike other Acting schools, we keep our class sizes small to ensure every student gets the best out of our courses.
Brave’s aim is to continually develop, together with our teachers and students, to provide courses of the highest standard.
All courses are designed by Brave Studios’ owners Elle Mandalis and Damien Fotiou in conjunction with each of our teachers. Both Elle and Damien are professional actors with over 40 years of experience between them. ” We strongly believe that by providing a safe and nurturing environment, offering industry professionals as our teachers and guaranteeing only honest feedback, you will most successfully be able to explore the craft of acting.”
Brave Studios also has a strong personal development angle. “Our philosophy is to create an atmosphere of trust and support so that students feel free to explore and push their boundaries in order to develop themselves both personally and professionally. It definitely takes courage to go for what you want in life and we believe these courses will help to inspire students to follow and act on their dreams.”
