The Actors Pulse
The Actors Pulse is the leading Meisner Technique acting school in the southern hemisphere. Offering a range of acting classes for stage and screen, we support our students to become outstanding actors with the right skills to succeed in the industry.
Dedicated to realism, our classes are based on the teachings of Sanford Meisner, the father of the Meisner Technique. Drawing on lessons learned directly from Meisner himself, The Actors Pulse Founder Billy Milionis combines Meisner's principles with layers of character development and genuine story-telling.
Why Meisner?
Through the Meisner technique, our most successful actors have learned to concentrate not on themselves but on the actors in their immediate vicinity.
This is based on one of the core principles taught by Sanford Meisner who believed that the interactions between characters are integral to creating life and energy in performance.
Through this technique, our students learn to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances and embrace their instincts for an honest and more natural approach to acting.
Highly favoured within the acting industry, training in the Meisner Technique best positions you for a successful career on stage and screen both in Australia and overseas.
“Find in yourself those human things which are universal.”
- Sanford Meisner
We work with our students to create real, moving and authentic performances across stage, film and television.
