YOUTH ACTOR TRAINING & TIMETABLE: SANDBACH
Coaching in acting at Carney Academy is designed to teach each student industry standard performance techniques, theories and stagecraft, whilst building self-esteem and communication skills. This is about finding a voice and creating a presence – whether that helps our students in their everyday lives or gives them key tools for a future in TV, film and theatre.
We’re here to nurture creativity, unlock professional-grade performances and encourage our students to come together and share in the joy of performance. Fun is inevitable.
Past students have gone on to professional drama schools such as LAMDA and the Guildford School of Acting, and have performed in award-winning shows such as Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Shrek The Musical. Student TV credits include Emmerdale, Death In Paradise and Casualty, and perform in some of the most prestigious local theatres, including The New Vic, The Royal Exchange and Manchester’s award-winning Hope Mill Theatre.

Youth Stage (Ages 11-14)
Students continue to develop their confidence, imagination and discipline, but delve deeper into character development. We use scripts from screen and theatre, and support students through their first foray into script analysis.
The classes are the fun, group oriented and energetic. Students have the opportunity to perform scenes from well-known stage and screen productions, as well as achieve a taste of what it’s like to attend auditions and work professionally.
After completing Stage 3 students have developed key skills such as listening; performing as part of a group; stage direction and communicating with others whilst on stage.

Teen Stage (Ages 15 – 16)
Students in Stage 4 focus on vocal techniques used in professional theatre and begin to take a more in-depth look at script analysis and character development. The students work on monologues, duologues and small group scenes throughout the year.
Improvisation is an important skill to all actors and is key to Stage 4 training - students have the opportunity to devise and perform their own pieces of theatre.
After completing Stage 4, students have a good knowledge of theatre practitioners and practices, particularly Stanislavski. They leave this group with an understanding of robust and professional performance techniques, which is crucial to any professional actor. This includes key skills including emotional recall, stage direction and acting for camera.
