ABOUT US
YOUR TEACHERS
The Young Actors Studio was founded in 2014 by industry professionals, Anna Ostergren and Jotham Annan, with a focus on providing professional training to young actors. This is a new and exciting Acting Studio which trains children, preteens and young adults from age eight onwards.
With strong links to the professional industry, we coach our students in voice, body, character, movement, speech and text analysis in order to create actors who can confidently work in commercials, television, theatre, film and radio.
Each term consists of an actor’s showcase which will create links and introductions to casting directors and agents in the UK, USA and beyond.
We have extensive experience of working with pre-teens, teens and young adults in this field. We truly believe in our students and we know that our approach and method work.
We are a highly selective school and believe in quality over quantity and welcome students of all backgrounds and nationalities.
