‘The Actors Pulse was an encouraging setting for my work experience that offered great knowledge of acting techniques, and options if I wish to pursue it as a career. I learnt about auditioning for roles, the Meisner technique and had great experiences with the employees. I thank Actors Pulse for the chance to learn in such a kind and fun environment and for the opportunities you have given me.'

‘This week at The Actors Pulse was such an amazing experience! I learned heaps about the Meisner Technique, and how it symbolizes improvisation, personal feelings, and helps to create more realistic scenes. What I got out of coming here was so amazing and I have had such an amazing experience.’
