The Acting Journey can be complex and problematic to navigate. If you don’t have material, you’ll struggle to be seen by the casting pros. If you don’t have great material, you might not get the leading roles you know you deserve. It gets even more complicated when you consider the value of professional credits or how often you’re able to acquire fresh footage.

Luckily, NWAS is here to help, no matter what phase of the Acting Journey you’re on. From novice actors hungry to learn their craft, to established talent who want to partner with a professional production team, NWAS have your acting needs in mind.

Take a look below to see how we can help you!

What We Offer

First Scenes

Everyone has to start somewhere and it’s no different for the actor’s journey.

Our First Scenes are made for those who are looking for a way to introduce themselves to the world of film and TV without breaking the bank or unnecessarily complicating the process. These scenes are two-hander dialogue scenes which are meant to highlight both of the actor’s strengths with straight-forward, yet dramatically intriguing, showreel scenes.

While these scenes can be incredibly effective, we rely on simplicity for these scenes so we would ask you to provide the location and your scene partner, meaning this is perfect for two actors looking to get their first showreel scenes. In terms of the script, you are able to provide your own or purchase a bespoke script at an additional fee. Overall, these are intended to be effective yet economical as we understand that you may just need something to get the ball rolling, so to speak.

Prices start from £350 per scene.

What you get:

    • Our First Scenes are short (about 60-90 seconds) and to the point. One dialogue scene between two actors, shot by one Showreel Director.

    • Casting Directors will say that your reel needs to be about you and not about any flashy shooting or editing gimmicks. Our First Scenes focus on the actors, their performances and nothing more.

    • Our First Scenes are shot with Netflix-approved 4K cameras and delivered as high-res and social media exports. All scenes are delivered in 2 weeks or less.

Career Refresh

Fancy a chance to refresh your showreel? Feel like your current reel isn’t showing your best side? Look no further than our Bespoke Showreel range.

You may have been acting a while, maybe as a background or supporting actor for TV or film, but you don’t quite have the material to help show off what you can really do. Our Bespoke Showreels are all about you, and only you, with a scene written to your strengths and produced in a way that highlights your potential as a leading man or woman.

It starts on the page where we look at your casting type and the kinds of roles you are hoping to play in the future. Our writing team will then suggest potential scenarios and characters for your casting and, with your feedback, we will then write the scene ready for production. As we want these scenes to be as specific as possible, we will hire a cinematic location that will make your scene pop, along with an actor specifically chosen to play opposite you. 

Prices start from £750 per scene.

What you get:


    • Our Development team will discuss your experience so far and your potential casting. We will then talk through potential scene options and pair you up with a scene partner and find a suitable location to shoot in.

    • Our Career Refresh is about giving you a chance to refresh your career. Want to move away from horror and focus on comedy? Want to be taken more seriously with a dramatic turn? We can create a scene to help you do that.

    • Our Career Refresh scenes are 100% written and catered to one actor. Everything else is about setting the scene. This is recommended for actors who are comfortable with their style who are ready to produce the kind of material that will help to define their abilities.

Next Level Showcase

You have the footage - it might even be really great footage - but your credits suggest that you’re happy being a bit-part character actor doing the soap circuit. We know that’s not the case and we want to help produce the kind of work that will get you seen in a different light.

Our Cinematic Scenes are shot with a small, yet complete crew so your scenes get an extra-level of attention in all departments. Like our bespoke scenes, these are dialogue-driven but the “look” will be more greatly managed to ensure your scenes look plucked right out of a feature film or HETV series. Opt for our Cinematic Package and, on top of your dialogue scene, we will craft an action-based scene specifically for your casting. Want to be an action hero? How about a musical superstar? No problem!

And if you’re ready to take your career by the horns, NWAS offer our Bespoke Short Film Package that looks to not only get you more footage for your reel, but give you a chance to headline a complete narrative that is custom-created to show off your fullest potential. One short film not enough? Then consider our Development Package which offers you the chance to work with us over a longer period in order to craft a series of short films and online content to help you showcase who you are over an extended period.

Prices start from £2200 per package.

What you get:

    • Our Cinematic Experiences are more about getting scenes for your showreel. It’s about the experience of being on set, working with different HoDs and being directed by a professional with feature film credits.

    • Our Short Film packages offer actors the chance to create a vehicle for their abilities through a complete narrative.

    • Go all-in with your Acting Journey by hiring a bespoke production team for your Online Content Creation needs. Monthly, weekly daily… whatever content you need, you can count on NWAS.
