This is sort of related to your other thread. If you're planning on learning about how to do a good CV, I would suggest learning how to spell, use proper grammar, etc.

You can never underestimate the power of bad spelling. People who can't understand your CV will not hire you, and in my experience, CVs that are badly written get thrown into the 'No' pile without even a glance at anything else.

(Not intending to be harsh, but it bears mentioning)

I haven't done classes run by either of the agencies you're considering, so I can't help you on that front. However, you seem to be a little confused on the distinction between an "agency", a "class" and a "school". Actors Now and Frog Management are agencies, not schools. They do not necessarily train their actors; in fact, most of the time, agencies take on semi-established actors who have already done some training. From time to time, agencies will run classes, which are usually open to the public (i.e. you do not have to be managed by Actors Now to take their classes). Agencies leave it up to you to organise your own training, whether internal, external or both.

My apologies if that came off as condescending. I hope it's of some help to you. And good luck in your research.

Yes I know my spelling stinks and I do appreciate the construcative critisism!! To Louisa you bacically just clarified everything I needed to know. Your brilliant. In conclusion to this thread I think I'll have to go with the Actors Now classes. Thanks heaps again!!

Good choice I thought I would add.
I haven't done either of the classes but have many friends who have been through Actors Now and I have done work experience for them and I am currently with them. Their classes are great and the teachers work in the profession so will be able to offer you good advice on the industry. Through my own experience (and I've been to many drama schools including Helen O'Grady) the difference in doing classes through an agency is the possibility of representation and the opportunity for learning proper audition technique, very important!!! However, and this may not apply to you, there are a select few drama schools out there that have a lot to offer especially if you're just starting out and haven't got a lot of experience. I spent years at various drama schools before approaching agencies and some of those school do productions which are great experiences. One such school is Joondalup Entertainers Theatre School (more info www.jetsweb.com.au) or community theatre such as Stirling Players which has a fantastic youth group known as SPY (Stirling Players Youth).
Just a bit of extra info, it can't hurt!
