The Actors Pulse

The Actors Pulse is the leading Meisner Technique acting school in the southern hemisphere. We offer a range of acting classes for stage and screen to help build outstanding actors with the right skills to succeed in the industry.

Dedicated to realism, our classes are based on the teachings of Sanford Meisner, the father of the Meisner Technique. Drawing on lessons learned directly from Meisner himself, The Actors Pulse Founder Billy Milionis combines Meisner principals with layers of character development and genuine story-telling.
