We don’t just teach acting — we train and CAST actors in real productions.
You want to act.
But you don’t know where to start.
You’ve never acted before
You’re not sure how Nollywood really works.
And most acting schools?
They train you… then leave you on your own.
At 9jaStudio, we do things differently.
We don’t just train actors.
We develop them…
And cast them in real productions seen on TV.
85% of actors in our TV series UniLife came through our training.
