Acting for Film and Digital Media

Niagara College’s Acting for Film and Digital Media program continues to be superior actor training with courses in voice, speech, movement, scene study and auditioning for film and television. Niagara College is also one of the few Canadian post-secondary institutions that offer direct instruction in The Meisner Technique, one of the foremost acting techniques taught today. In light of the changing nature of the industry and the rise of more entrepreneurial self-created web content, you will also study film editing, screenwriting, stunt training, voiceover acting, self-marketing and acting with technology (eg.
