Actors Bootcamp with Andy McPhee
We're thrilled to bring back Andy McPhee’s Actors Bootcamp for a second time this year. With decades of experience in the industry, Andy has coached countless actors—including his son Kodi Smit-McPhee, a Golden Globe and AACTA winner for The Power of the Dog (2021), and Sydney Sweeney, who he guided through her work on Immaculate (2024). This six-week intensive course is designed to push you creatively and personally, helping you uncover your authentic self while developing strong on-camera skills, character work, and truthful, in-the-moment decision-making. With Andy’s hands-on, individualised coaching, expect to dig deep, challenge old habits, and grow as an artist—both in and outside of class.

“I’m very grateful for the opportunities TAFTA has opened up for me. I would recommend it to anyone needing a launching pad for their acting career. I received invaluable mentoring, coaching and support that’s lead to an incredible agent, opportunities to audition worldwide and gained lead roles in film and TV.”
