For teenagers, young adults, and children seeking singing or acting careers, RSA Academy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, offers dozens of classes in performance and the other elements that make an entertainment career successful. Chosen through an audition process, students must exhibit talent, drive, desire, and commitment. Periodically, RSA Academy offers scholarships through a foundation, both to incoming students and to those who have shown devotion and earned respect over time.

At RSA Academy, courses cover the specifics of performing, from vocal training in pop and rock styles and stage presence to voiceover and dialects. Other classes focus on the business side of an entertainment career, addressing marketing, branding, public relations, and additional aspects of media training. RSA Academy attendees learn how to break down a script, record in a studio, nail a cold reading, and develop a character. RSA Academy classes also address film and television formats, special effects, and auditions. Performers learn their craft onstage and in a state-of-the-art studio.

While RSA Academy instructors teach acting, singing, and other skills necessary to flourish in the entertainment industry, they also assist their young charges in discovering their own unique personalities and charm. Utilizing this knowledge, students at RSA Academy can then create characters unlike any others. Once students become empowered to trust themselves, they can trust the choices they make as performers and appear natural and effortless on camera or over a microphone. Students can translate the lessons they learn at RSA Academy to the stage, screen, television, or recording studio.
