We believe in being fully transparent.

Our role is to provide exceptional training — we do not promise a career.
FONACT does not organize in-person showcases, particularly due to the international nature of our cohorts and since COVID. However, all graduates leave with a professional digital showcase, including high-quality material ready to be shared with agents and casting directors.

Looking ahead, FONACT is developing its own in-house talent management agency, expected to launch by the end of 2026.

This agency will represent graduates of the three-year professional program — creating a direct bridge between training and the industry, and offering a unique level of continuity and support.

The right training doesn’t just inform you — it transforms you.

At FONACT, the training is immersive, rigorous, and designed to develop complete, versatile actors.

You will work across multiple disciplines, including:

Acting technique
Voice and speech
Movement
Acting for film
Self-taping
Scene work
Technical skills
Professional development

Each area is approached with precision and depth, allowing you to build both your craft and your autonomy as an artist.

FONACT prepares actors for both stage and screen.

The training is rooted in a strong classical foundation, designed to develop actors capable of taking on any role — with depth, precision, and presence.

Our objective is to train actors who are ready to be cast in leading roles, whether in theatre, film, or television. The technique you build here gives you the tools to adapt to any medium and any artistic demand.

The program is full-time and highly intensive.

Students train:
5 to 6 days per week
Between 30 and 40 hours per week

This level of commitment is essential to allow real transformation. The training is demanding, but it is designed to unlock your full potential.

The maximum class size is 24 students.

However, most of the time, students work in smaller groups to ensure depth and individual attention. These groups typically range from 8 to 16 actors, depending on the module and classes.
There are also moments where the entire cohort works together, creating a strong ensemble dynamic and shared artistic experience.

Yes — performance is at the heart of the training.

Over the course of the three-year professional program, students will:
Perform in 6 full-scale stage productions
Build a professional showreel, including:
2 short films
1 filmed scene
Complete 30 to 50 self-tapes, creating valuable casting material

From the very first year, students perform in front of a live audience. As the training progresses, the level of challenge, complexity, and professional expectation increases.

By the end of the program, you don’t just train — you leave with experience, material, and readiness for the industry.

Students at FONACT are supported at every level of their development.
This includes:

Individual feedback throughout the training
Ongoing mentorship from experienced practitioners
Artistic guidance to help shape each student’s identity and direction

In addition, FONACT provides a dedicated well-being team, including:
Counselors
Osteopaths
These services are available free of charge, ensuring that students are supported not only as artists, but as individuals.

We believe that strong artistic work requires a strong foundation — physically, emotionally, and mentally
