About Alza

An on-camera training studio for film and television in Toronto. We train beginner to working actors with one goal: truthful work that holds up under the camera.
We raise the standard.
That's the whole philosophy.

Real industry standards.
Founded in 2005, Alza Acting Studio is led by Walter Alza — award-winning actor, director, writer, and producer with 30+ years in the industry and 120+ television episodes and film credits.
We are a professional on-camera training studio built specifically for the demands of film and television. Every class is designed around what the camera sees, what casting responds to, and what working actors need to stay competitive.
What we're here to do.
We develop the actor's truth, instrument, and decision-making so the work becomes clear, grounded, and bookable. No fluff. No false promises. Real craft.
"High standards. Zero attitude.
