The uniqueness of TVI Actors Studios across several continents in bring foundation acting classes with prominent talent agents and casting directors. We call this the Hybrid Actors School. While founder of TVI, Alan S Nusbaum recognized the importance of a solid dramatic education and theatre foundation, what was missing was the weekly interaction with the talent agents, casting directors, producers and directors that will eventually be employing the TVI Acting Students - whether it be in Hollywood, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, Mumbai or Sydney.
