Simply awesome! Phil was a professional and supportive teacher and I'm blown away by how much knowledge I've soaked in from the classes. The online courses were such a great way to hone your craft and technique which are applicable to not just acting but in every day life!! I'd highly recommend Howard Fine for any budding & experienced actors or to anyone who is up for a creative challenge!

I have recently completed the 6 week, online acting course.

This, for me was a game changer!

Howard Fine is a Master, and the whole team succeed in making the process easy to understand.

There are no "easy tools, or quick fixes" but the way everything is explained is straight forward.

The positive and extremely constructive feedback, each class, only helps to embed the lessons.

I am now working with HAFS on the Audition Technique, and loving it.

If you want to get to the next level in your acting career, just sign up and enjoy!

Absolutely amazing! I'm so grateful for Phil & the team at HFAS for offering Fine Online classes. The experience was like no other and after completing an online program, I know the insight and skills I've learned will last a lifetime. The personalised training is something that so easily resonated with me, it was so inspiring and I loved seeing other class members grow throughout the program too. I wasn't planning on attending further training but after seeing HFAS is offering a follow-on program, the opportunity is too good to miss!

I highly recommend that their online classes would be suitable and beneficial to anyone and I'm looking forward to training with these guys again! Thank you HFAS!

“Incredible experience and fantastic training in such a supportive and welcoming environment. Can't recommend the Melbourne Howard Fine Institute enough! This studio is the bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas, and Phil is one helleva director who is dedicated, helpful, wise and a real talent and pleasure to work with.”

Howard Fine is not just an acting school it is a community where you can thrive in your craft. The training builds you to be a self sufficient actor that is so important to build a sustainable, professional career. I considered myself a HF ‘stalker’ for a while because I audited the masterclasses but did not participate. Now that I’m in the part time course, I’m still a stalker… but at least I’m participating now :)

I studied here as part of the six month part-time ensemble. I'm not sure I'm properly able to convey how an incredible, and life changing the experience was. The teachers are fantastic, the technique is simple yet effective, and the groundwork laid at the beginning of the course to build trust and commitment within the ensemble made the entire experience an utter joy. I joined the course having not acted for 6 years, incredibly nervous to get back involved, I left with an enthusiasm for risk taking, performing and a lifelong commitment to make this my career. I honestly can't recommend it enough.

The Full time course at HFAS didn’t just make me a better actor, it made me a better human being. Since graduating I’ve moved overseas to London to study physical theatre with Frantic Assembly Theatre Company, and now I’m living and working as an actor in London. Without the training and confidence that the full time program gave me I’d have never been able to do the amazing things I’m doing now!
