MASTERCLASS AUDITING - MELBOURNE 2026
The Howard Fine Masterclass is the most intensive four days of tuition offered by The Studio.
Each full day of the program consists of a rigorous exploration of technique as Howard works with an ensemble of actors on preselected scenes.
Auditing the Masterclass represents a unique learning opportunity and provides the best possible introduction into the work, techniques and ethos of The Studio. We strongly recommend auditing the Masterclass to anyone interested in undertaking study at The Studio.
As an auditor, you will actively observe the class, experiencing the work through the Masterclass ensemble and Howard’s critique.
In order to make the most of auditing the Masterclass and gain a thorough understanding of Howard’s approach to technique training, we strongly encourage auditors to read Howard’s book, ‘Fine on Acting: A Vision of the Craft’* prior to the class, and to audit all four days of the Masterclass.
*Fine on Acting: A Vision of the Craft is available here at The Studio, online retailers and on Audible.
MASTERCLASS WELCOME PACK
Before the Masterclass, we’ll email everyone who’s booked an auditing pass a welcome pack with a list of the plays the actors will be working on. If you’d like to read ahead, you can use the list to get familiar with the plays before you watch the scenes in the room.

CLASS TUTOR
HOWARD FINE
For over a quarter of a century, Howard Fine has built an unshakeable reputation as the most gifted acting teacher in the business. In 1985, Howard began his career in Los Angeles by privately coaching students in his living room, but in 1988 had to expand to accommodate his growing classes. He became an instant and enduring sensation, a “first call” for actors and their representatives, who know Fine’s direction can define careers.
Secure Your Place
Spend a day or all four in the room with Howard Fine as he coaches an ensemble of actors through prepared scenes. You’ll see how Howard works with each actor, what he asks them to try and how the scene changes as they put his feedback into practice.
What does auditing mean?
An auditing pass gives you a seat in the room as an observer. You’ll watch Howard work directly with the actors performing scenes. It’s a chance to see the Studio’s approach to acting technique in practice, whether you’re considering training with us or looking for ideas to bring back to your own work.
