About Streets Ahead Acting Productions
Definition of 'Streets Ahead' - 'to be much better or much more advanced'
We believe in challenging, supporting and valuing individual potential to equip you to be the most creative you can be.
We do this by offering Key Training for both the professional and student actor through Private Coaching, which is of course targeted and individual, and Short Courses. We deliberately restrict numbers on all short courses to Optimise Personal and Professional Growth.
We also offer Specific Film Days that provide opportunities for experience and growth which will hone your skills and give you valuable footage. Plus we provide the expertise to shoot additional material for Showreel, Website or Online Video.
We also offer the Professional Headshot - one of the most important marketing tools you can have as an actor.
ACTING TRAINING
We aim to transform by developing and honing essential skills that equip you to meet the challenges that you as an actor face, whatever the chosen medium.
We draw from methodological influences of Stanislavsky, Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Meisner, Alfreds etc. to provide you with a powerful toolbox to draw on. This will inform your own actor's process enabling you to find your own creative solutions.
The work informs and develops you, this coupled with the eye of the camera, often on hand, provides you with a record for observation and reflection.

Extra Footage for Showreel, Website and Online Videos
Video footage is an extremely valuable asset to actors because, as well as contributing to showreel material, there is a fast growing need for actors to self-promote and get themselves noticed by having some form of online presence.
Video is forecast to account for over 80% of internet traffic by the end of 2018. Our training, which will give you confidence in front of camera, together with our expertise in shooting and editing video, will provide this footage which can add considerable value to your online presence.
