Enabling you to explore an acting career
Supporting you beyond the classroom
Spotlight membership after six terms
Spotlight is the industry-standard casting platform that allows you to create a profile accessible by casting directors worldwide, making it easier for you or your agent to apply for professional roles in theatre, film and TV.
It is the key portal for actors to find work and representation.
It allows performers to create profiles with headshots, CVs, and showreels, making it the primary resource for casting directors and agents. Many agents require Spotlight membership before offering representation.
Actors can gain membership by either being paid for two professional acting jobs or completing accredited training, such as with The Actor’s Lounge
After completing six terms with TAL, you'll automatically become a Spotlight member. The fastest path is two consecutive years, but breaks are allowed as long as you complete the six terms.
Help with getting an agent
An agent will help you with crafting and promoting your profile, applying for roles on your behalf and understanding and negotiating professional contracts.
Through our partnership with AKP Management Agency, some Level 3 students have the opportunity to audition for agency representation.
You may also invite agents to the end of term showcase.

Thoughts From Our Working Actors
The tutors Gus & Amy are so knowledgable and generous with their time, knowledge, feedback and energy. The group are just fantastic and we have developed a real bond which makes for a great atmosphere to learn and develop.
I have just finished my first term and showcase... I hugely value these lessons, incredible moments and great memories with an amazing group that connected so easily and supported each other having a lot of fun and all the energy that everyone brings.
The course was in-depth and professional and helped me find the confidence to be able to perform a short scene in front of an audience which I never thought I'd do.
To anyone who is thinking about doing this course I would jump straight in and don't hold anything back.
