Billy Milionis

Dubbed in the USA ‘the technique that works’, The Meisner Technique is a genuine and organic, step-by-step approach to acting.

Founded in 1997 by Billy Milionis, one of the only acting coaches in Australia to have personally studied under the great Sanford Meisner, The Actor’s Pulse is an acting school specialising in the most modern version of the Meisner Technique in the country.

This acting school incorporates screen acting and audition technique classes into the training program, allowing artists who are seeking professional careers in Film, Theatre and Television, to keep up with a continuously changing industry. Within our voice & movement departments our very affordable Voice & Dialect classes, private voice tutorials and movement classes allow actors to train at a high standard and progess from a beginner level to a very advance level.

Acting teachers of both Meisner and Screen Acting classes have between them over 20 years of acting experience nationally and internationally in the entertainment industry, earning themselves numerous nominations and awards for their work, such as Australian Film Awards.

As well as being a strong and unique acting school, graduates from The Actor’s Pulse have formed the Pulse Theatre Group, an ensemble group theatre, to produce professional stage plays - from national and international playwrights - annually. Students currently enrolled at our acting school have the option to become a member of the group, giving them hands-on work experience in many areas of a production.

Our acting school is located in Sydney and has three studios:

Studio One – The Playhouse: on our ground floor, this 70 seat theatre is where all PGT productions are staged.

Studio Two – New York Theatrette: on the 1st floor of the building, where all drama classes, story workshops and voice classes are held.

Studio Three – Green Screen Actors Studio: on the 2nd floor, where all camera acting classes, commercial acting and audition classes/workshop are held.

Dedicated to the passion for realistic acting, our acting school, The Actor’s Pulse has maintained a high level of commitment to the craft of acting for over a decade, providing a strong foundation in our drama classes for the serious actor wishing to develop a solid and truthful acting technique for stage and screen performance.
