Actor, iFilmGroup Member & Acting Training Program Participant

Andre Fournier

Having the opportunity to be a part of the iFilmGroup Acting Training Module Program in London, Ontario for the last few years, I have learned so much. What I have watched on every filming day for footage I have been a part of and then seeing the segment has taught me so much. Working with director and iFilmGroup’s Head of Film Production and Training Matthew Marshall has allowed me to learn so much. What I have learned has already helped me with being cast in a number of plays. All the opportunities I have had, has given me a much better understanding of the acting industry and what it takes to pursue opportunities in film and theatre acting. To watch other new actors and actresses move from "beginner to bookable" is great to see. It shows how this program is changing people and moving them along in their acting careers.

I have learned that becoming an actor involves much more than just memorizing lines and performing. There is character development, character objectives and obstacles. There are a number of aspects within the audition preparation process. Learning how to submit to casting calls to get noticed. Things like headshots, acting resumes, self-tape techniques and also fully understanding the business side of acting.

What I appreciate most was gaining insight into the practical skills and professionalism required to develop as an actor. The iFilmGroup Acting Training Program has helped me better understand how to prepare myself, approach opportunities, make bold choices within auditions and continue to improve my abilities.

I also love the dedication of iFilmGroup to teach acting safety as a core part of their program. Many acting programs concentrate on performance and audition techniques. iFilmGroup can demonstrate that it also teaches aspiring actors how to navigate casting opportunities safely, professionally and intelligently. The red flag and acting safety segments really makes you think about the issues that people face during casting calls and how the industry needs to shine a light on acting safety.

Overall, I highly recommend the iFilmGroup Acting Training Program in London, Ontario as something everyone in the acting and film industry should be a part of.
