How you get in
The Main Cast is a working room, so there's a way in.
Complete Acting Foundations first, and
you're in.
Already an experienced actor? Reach out with a showreel or a recent self-tape and let's have a chat.
Drop in's
Monthly Instrumentals Night
A brand new monthly drop-in night focused on training the actor's instrument: instinct, emotional freedom, imagination, spontaneity, connection, and truthful behaviour.
• Next session: TBA
• Time: 6pm–10pm
• Only 10 spots available for the first session
• More details coming soon
WHAT THE ROOM IS
Every week we do the actual work: scene work, screen craft, instrumentals, audition technique,
emotional access, character, and time on camera. It's not a class you attend. It's a room you belong
to. The actors here are the ones staying in it, week after week, and it shows in what they book.
A bit about Tim
Tim Franklin is a working actor with over 15 years across film, television and theatre.
You might know him as Colby Thorne in Home & Away (320 plus episodes). More recently he starred in David Leitch's The Fall Guy alongside Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, the Netflix #1 war epic Before Dawn, and Last King of the Cross opposite Callan Mulvey. Two features, Love Birds and Our Effed Up World, premiere in 2026.
Before starting his own studio, Tim taught at AFTRS, TAFTA and JMC.
He now coaches some of the best in the business, including Jake Ryan, Travis Jeffery, Emily Weir and Sarah Roberts.
Recent wins: Jake Ryan's supporting role in War Machine, and Arlo Amos landing a scene alongside Tom Hanks.
His approach is simple. Make the work honest, not acted.
