Youth Curriculum

From one-day workouts to a school-year professional training program, Verve offers a robust YOUTH Acting program that caters to every actor’s needs with a focus on acting classes in Scottsdale.

Verve’s YOUTH PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM provides comprehensive, ongoing training for young actors in middle and high school. Meeting weekly during the school year, classes are organized by age and level. Beginning with Level 1, foundational techniques are taught through script analysis, character development, improvisation, solo work, and partnered scene work. This program also serves as an introduction to Working Actor subjects and professional opportunities in fields such as commercial, TV/sitcom, film, theatre, teleprompter, and voice-over. As students progress through Levels 2 to 4, they delve into more complex characters and scene work, enhancing their skills in the Scottsdale acting classes.

Verve’s WEEKEND WORKOUTS present the full array of Foundation and Working Actor classes in an à la carte format, specifically designed to complement ongoing training for those unable to commit to weekly classes. These workouts rotate through varied topics and keep our actors' skills sharp. Weekend workshops and workouts can be attended individually or as part of a package.

Our SUMMER CAMPS for youth include the Film Acting (full-day) and Camera Ready (half-day) camps, with registration for 2026 now open!
