Manchester Acting Classes for Adults

MHD Acting School was established by the owner of New Live Theatre Company in 2014 as a new, practical part-time training platform in acting for Stage, TV and Film for Adults in Manchester. Our professional acting classes in Manchester for Adults run in a welcoming and supportive environment, an absolute necessity for those entering this tough industry. We encourage and facilitate our Actor’s uniqueness, helping to create Artists, not conveyor-belt students. We promote creativity, helping and encouraging our students to find and create their own opportunities to fast-track their learning and careers. Our Actors are not merely names on a list, you are part of our creative community.

Our weekly drama and acting classes allow Manchester Actors, and those from further out around the North West, of all levels, a place to grow and develop their acting skills in a fun and professionally focused setting. MHD Acting School has always been a safe and welcoming space, and we particularly welcome Complete Beginners, Mature Students and International Students who can often struggle in more commercial environments. We offer a range of ongoing weekly acting classes and more specialised acting short courses for those looking for more intensive acting training. Our professional actor training sessions take place in Manchester City Centre and Media City, Salford UK.

Our Adults Acting Classes will:

  • help building confidence
  • introducing you to new acting techniques
  • teach you about the acting industry
  • keep you audition ready

As the training brother of the New Live Theatre Company we have offered many opportunities to our students, including showcases to industry professionals and performances at venues such as The Lowry, Z-Arts Theatre and regional tours. We do not represent our students, however we do filter and pass on paid castings and opportunities when they come in to suitable students who we know are reliable and trustworthy. 100% attendance is VITAL if you wish to take part in additional activities.

Our Acting Classes are suitable for Complete Beginners to Advanced Professional Actors aged 18+. We particularly welcome international students, mature actors (you are never too old to join us) and absolute beginners, with a great track record for improvement.
