She has told me that you have taught her lots of things about acting, life in general, and have been a positive influence on her. Her confidence alone has increased dramatically.”

Thanks to Alan Nurthen and his amazing school, I have found that the professional training I have received at the Screen Actors Workshop has increased my levels of confidence in public speaking and my ability to think on my feet. Furthermore, speaking in front of a camera has become second nature for me and less intimidating from my experience in your classes. The training from your school has proven to be extremely useful in many aspects of my life, including teaching and public speaking. I will take my learning and experiences from your school with me throughout my life and for this I am very grateful and proud to have been a student of the Screen Actors Workshop.”

“Alan’s classes are a blast! After graduating from the advanced teen class, I played the role of Damien for three years on ‘Home and Away’. Since then, I have performed substantial roles worldwide in film, television and theatre, including ‘Star Wars: Episode 2’. I was also the only Australian actor with a speaking part in ‘The Thin Red Line’, where I had the golden opportunity to work with actors of the caliber of George Clooney and Sean Penn.”
