Two-year acting program
Panorama Academy’s acting programs are designed for aspiring and working actors who are serious about building a sustainable career in film and television.
Through a structured, immersive training experience, you’ll develop your craft, deepen your understanding of the industry, and grow both as an artist and as a person.
Our Approach
Panorama Academy was founded with one clear mission: to support actors in discovering and strengthening their unique path. Every class is shaped by over 25 years of experience in talent development, career strategy, and industry insight.
We believe in:
- Personal growth alongside professional training
- A supportive, non-competitive environment
- Studio-based learning with real-world relevance
- Elevating each other through collaboration and courage
Our instructors are active professionals in the industry, nationally and internationally, bringing current knowledge and high standards to every session.
Building your successful career
At the heart of our teaching is the Triangle Philosophy — a holistic approach that connects artistic development through acting classes, personal leadership, and career strategy through training in business affairs. This framework supports your daily life as an actor and helps you navigate the industry with confidence.
The Triangle Philosophy is the core of Panorama Academy. It stems from three decades of pioneering work in casting, talent agency operations, and collaboration with actors – experience that also led to membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the Casting Branch.
We were the first to articulate this approach, which creates a balance between artistic craft, personal leadership, and the realities of the industry – and it remains the foundation of everything we do.
The art is to grow both as a person and as an actor.
As an Academy student, you have the opportunity to be educated, and along the way be spotted as ‘talent’, thus selected for representation in Panorama Agency’s talent department ‘New Generation’. And with effort, heart and professional work experience to finally be represented in Panorama Agency’s management department on an equal footing with national and international stars.

Focus areas
At Panorama Academy, we view acting as a multifaceted craft which draws on emotional depth, physical presence, and creative collaboration. The boundaries between roles in the industry are shifting, and we prepare actors to adapt, contribute, and lead within this evolving landscape.
Our program is structured around key focus areas that give you the tools to succeed both on set and in life. These areas are designed to strengthen your technique, expand your range, and prepare you for the realities of the industry.
As the first academy in Europe to offer certified training in Ivana Chubbuck’s 12-Step Technique, we provide high-level coaching in character development, self-taping, and on-screen acting. Rooted in Chubbuck’s bestselling book The Power of the Actor, our training matches the standards of her renowned Los Angeles studio.
The Chubbuck Technique is a transformative method that shapes our teaching and empowers actors to create dynamic, emotionally rich characters. Many have gone on to win awards and elevate their roles – sometimes turning supporting characters into leads – thanks to the depth and impact of their performances.
This focus area introduces you to Lee Strasberg’s Method Acting – a powerful technique designed to help actors deliver deeply authentic and emotionally rich performances. The Method offers a structured approach to accessing personal truth and transforming it into compelling character work.
You’ll explore core principles such as affective memory, sensory exercises, relaxation techniques, improvisation, and script analysis. These tools help you connect with your character on a deeper level and bring emotional honesty to your work.
This focus area prepares you for the demands of working in front of the camera by exploring the collaboration between actor, director, and the visual storytelling process. You’ll gain practical industry know-how and specific, utilizable tools to help you succeed, whether you’re stepping onto set for the first time or refining your on-screen presence.
Training emphasizes self-evaluation, constructive feedback, and the importance of teamwork. You’ll be challenged to step out of your comfort zone and grow through dynamic, on-camera practice.
The focus of this course is to help students find the essence of a dialect, quickly and efficiently. This includes essential vowel and consonant pronunciation, melody, where to put the stress on a word or sentence to create textual clarity and authenticity, as well as nuances in character choices.
Each session starts with a voice warmup, breathwork and technical vocal training that aids the participant in using the voice correctly without strain. This course covers British and American English.
This focus area helps you shape your unique visual identity as an actor and communicate your essence to the industry. You’ll learn how to present your talent through professional headshots – shot in-studio by one of Denmark’s leading portrait photographers and included as part of your education – alongside a well-crafted CV and compelling bio. These tools form your personal brand and open doors to networking, self-tapes, and castings.
Through creative guidance and 1:1 feedback, you’ll explore design principles, branding do’s and don’ts, and how to build a visual package that reflects your DNA as an artist. The goal is to inspire deliberate choices that make you stand out – and be seen.
This focus area consists of two dynamic classes: Dance & Movement and Stunt & Stage Combat – each led by highly skilled, professional instructors.
In Dance & Movement, you’ll work with a talented dance teacher to develop body awareness, physical expression, and confidence through choreography and movement exercises tailored for both screen and stage.
In Stunt & Stage Combat, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of safe and effective stage fighting and basic stunt techniques. These skills are essential for on-set work and help you move with precision, control, and presence.
Together, these classes strengthen your physical storytelling, build resilience, and challenge you to step outside your comfort zone, preparing you for the physical demands of a professional acting career.
In this focus area, you’ll craft your own personalized showreel – an essential tool for showcasing your talent, growth, and artistic identity. Drawing from your previous scene work and short films, you’ll learn to edit using industry-standard software.
As you shape your showreel, you’ll develop simple editing skills and discover how to present yourself in a way that captivates casting directors and industry professionals. The final result is a powerful visual portfolio that reflects your journey and opens doors to future opportunities.
