When you look at the history of the Australian Acting Academy you can understand why it has been so successful. It was established in 1994 by Brendan Glanville a multi talented performing artist - who works as an actor, writer, director, presenter and coach..

BUT HE WASN'T ALWAYS SO CONFIDENT...
When Brendan was only in his teens he was diagnosed with Agoraphobia - the fear of leaving familiar surrounds. He had been suffering such massive attacks all his life that he never went to a school camp, and as a teenager his father used to pick him up at sleepovers.

Yet the thing that Brendan accredits saving his life is the performing arts, and it was when he sang a solo to 10 000 people in his early twenties that he knew he had a victory over his anxiety.

Brendan has a better understanding than anyone the need for you to feel totally safe and supported while exploring the performing arts. He has been a passionate advocate for the performing arts since and started and grew the Australian Acting Academy so it would  a place where you can feel absolutely supported, learn fantastic new skills and get the coaching that will enhance your acting and your life.

Once you have experienced the Ausralan Acting Academy you will wonder how you have loved without it.
