Toronto • In-studio & self-tape ready
Persona Acting Studio is a focused, modern acting room built for camera-ready work: truth, tactics, behavior, and repeatable craft — taught by Brandon Macpherson (MFA).
New cohorts run monthly. Limited seats to keep the work personal.
You’ll receive schedule + studio details by email.
Craft-first
Simple tools. Hard work. Repeatable results.
Camera-ready
Choices that read on lens — not just in the room.
Personal attention
Small group coaching with actionable notes.
One class per week. You bring the work — we sharpen it into something you can repeat under pressure.
Objectives, tactics, behavior, and playable choices. We build a clean process you can trust.
Partnered scenes. Adjustments that change the moment (not just the tone).
Translating stage instincts to camera behavior: framing, eyelines, pace, and intention.
Stakes, speed, pressure. You’ll practice staying connected when it matters most.
$200 / 4 weeks
Adults 18+. Limited to 14 spots. Wednesdays, 7–10 PM.

Reserve SpotIf you’re brand new: we’ll guide your first scene pick so you can succeed.
The room is built for actors who want repeatable tools — not vague inspiration.
Real actions, real stakes, real listening. We keep it human.
Choices that change the other person — and the scene.
Clear adjustments that show up on the next take.
“The goal isn’t to be ‘good’ in the room. The goal is to be alive, specific, and dangerous — with a process you can repeat under pressure.”
— Persona Acting Studio
Taught by Brandon Macpherson — working actor with an MFA from The Actors Studio. Credits include FX's Adults, Sheriff Country, Haunted Museum, and The Pillowman. IMDb
