Top Tier Actors Studio
WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast
The secret is out! the old and out of date method of developing actors is OVER! We are beyond happy to be leading the charge in the new world of of acting schools. So... what makes us different? and more importantly, why does this make us the best new wave acting school not only in Australia, but the world? Its simple, every rule that has stood for acting schools since the dawn of the arts, we are breaking it. Want to work as an actor and make some money while studying with us? sure why not. Want us to use our insider contacts to assist you in gaining HIGH END representation? absolutely. Want to obtain headshots and showreels for half the price of everywhere else, simple because we can? lets do it!
The truth is... the entertainment industry can be a little shallow at times. from the top to the bottom. We don't believe that spending four years in some acting college, learning about acting techniques and methods from the early 15 hundreds, then graduating without an agent, showreel, headshots or on set experience is the best way to become an actor in this day and age! We are putting an end to the money hungry BS that acting schools have thrown at our young and naive actors for the last 50 years and rebuilding the space as a platform for everyone to get a fair shot at the industry, without breaking the bank and with as much help as possible!

TOP TIER FAMILY
At Top Tier Actors Studio, we are a family. A family of young, driven people with the same goals and aspirations. Top Tier Actors Studio was started in late 2019 by Australian actors Josh Lacy and Bridgette Armstrong on the Gold Coast, Queensland with one purpose in mind. To guide and mentor the next generation of Australias best and brightest aspiring actors and performers without the usual BS that acting schools throw around. It is our turn to give back, and we now have the platform to change the industry, for good! We have created a space perfectly dedicated to the pursuit of passion and creativity, as well as a home base to a never ending amount of resources, knowledge and support within the entertainment industry itself. Top Tier is the ideal Performing Arts School for students who wish to build a solid foundation and prepare for a career in this ever changing industry.
