I’m so happy I decided to follow my dreams and go to VFS. The instructors push you to your best potential and treat you like professionals. My cohort became my family and I learned to be confident, make bold decisions, trust my scene partner, and most importantly to not be afraid of failure! I was working on set right after graduation; it was so easy because I knew exactly what to do. If I could do the year all over again, I would! Thank you VFS!

VFS gave me a taste of all the different things you might find yourself exploring in an acting career. You get to dabble in so many areas of our art. Classes are practical and allow you to meet a plethora of passionate teachers and mentors. The program helps build a network of artists around you through collaboration with students from other programs. My year at VFS was full one, but gave me the confidence to say acting is what I want to do with my life.
