All experience levels are welcome - this is a fantastic training ground for seasoned actors and also a place for non-actors to try something new that scares them!

About

After years of learning different aspects of acting and filmmaking, Amalia moved to Queenstown from Auckland in 2023, and despite a growing presence of exciting productions, noticed a gap in local offerings for actors. Her screen acting classes were born out of a desire to create a networking and practice ground for fellow actors, and to share the knowledge and tools she's learned and tested herself to build up our talent and increase local casting.

‍

Starting out in extra work and theatre, Amalia has professional experience on over 10 different TV shows over 7 years in Auckland, including roles on Shortland Street and Double Parked. She has taken part in a variety of acting training courses, notably an 80-week Meisner technique course by prominent US coach Michael Saccente. She has an ATCL Diploma in Performing Speech and Drama and a Bachelor of Arts in Screen Production from the University of Auckland. Amalia also works as a casting assistant for commercials and is passionate about supporting the local screen industry, creating her own short films and is the coordinator of the Southern Filmmakers Collective.

"I started running classes with the desire to create anetwork and practice ground for fellow actors. Through teaching I’ve found areal passion for sharing this craft and building up our local talent."
