People always ask me How to become an actor?
Or you are an actor already and want to take it to the next level. My first question to you is, what is the size of your dream?
There are many reasons why one wants to be an actor, but the most common answer could be to be to become a professional actor, part-time actor, acting as a hobby! You always wanted to try, why not?!
If it happened to me, it can happen to you
I went from no experience to work in over 100 episodes of Union television & films then to become and Award Winner
After much rejection and fighting adversity...I kind of proved the establishment wrong. How did I do it? Determination, believe, and by taking action, by not letting anyone or anything stop me from achieving my dream. Even if you want to be an actor part time you can do it. After 30 years of working In the business, myself and our award team will coach you and guide you in order for you to also get to where you want to go.

Our goal month after month is to help students become great actors and great actors become crafted actors. Walter Alza’s objective is to do for our students what great teachers like Sanford Meisner, Stanislavsky, Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler did: teach what he does with his team of award-winning professionals who are ready and willing to share their passion, skill, and talent to take you to the next level. These masters were directors and/or actors before they became teachers, and Walter Alza is one of the few coaches in Canada who actually teaches what he does.
Walter Alza and our Award winning faculty are regarded as rare passionate, actors, directors and acting coaches who genuinely love working with actors.

Walter Alza is Known for his Leading and Character work, his knack for picking up accents-and his ability to effortlessly portray both drama and comedy within his work. According to CTV E-Talk Daily, "Walter is Canada's very own bad boy." This stems from his portrayal of a vicious Colombian gangster Raoul in the drama "Get Rich or Die Trying" with 50 Cent and Academy Award nominee director Jim Sheridan. He can crack you up in Netflix comedies like "Special Correspondents with Ricky Gervais (The Office), Eric Bana (Munich, Black Hawk Down, Hulk, Hanna, Star Trek), Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire), and America Ferrera (Th Super Store). You have also seen Walter as the jealous, hot-headed Russian room-service waiter name Slavic, in Ken Finkleman's 7 time Gemini Nominated Series; "At The Hotel". John Doyle, from the "Globe and Mail" quotes: Walter Alza is delicious as the testosterone - driven, boorish waiter Slavic, co-starring Don Mackellar (Blind) and Carlo Rota (24). Walter Alza was seen for 10 years on OMNI TV playing the suave ladies man, Andreas Maradona, in the award winning Toronto TV 90 episodes show Metropia. You have also seen him Guest starring as Paul the mob boss in "Flashpoint"
