A Simple Idea
With A Big Purpose
Training Sides began as a shared experiment among a group of acting coaches, writers, directors, and students who were all seeing the same thing in their classrooms and coaching sessions: actors needed short, focused material that targeted specific weaknesses and made measurable growth possible.
​
Instead of giving vague notes like “ground yourself," "go deeper," or “make stronger choices,” we began asking sharper questions:
​
-
What, specifically, does this actor need to work on?
-
What technique will truly unlock their next level?
-
How can we write a script that makes that technique unavoidable?
From those questions came lots of small, intentional scenes — not award-winning scripts, but purposeful training tools. Scripts that help actors identify challenges, build confidence, and finish a session knowing they actually improved.​
Why We Built This Platform
​​
-
Not everyone has access to a great acting class.
-
Not everyone lives in a major filming market.
-
Not everyone has a coach who gives clear, actionable feedback.
-
And not everyone knows what to practice once they’re on their own.
-
But talent exists everywhere. Passion exists everywhere.
-
And meaningful training should, too.
​
Training Sides was created so any actor — anywhere — can experience focused, measurable growth through short, intentional scripts that are easy to practice at home, in class, or in coaching.
​​
Whether you’re brand new, returning after years away, sharpening your skills between auditions, or teaching classroom full of students, Training Sides gives you clear tools that support real progress.
​
We believe that when more actors have access to purposeful training, the entire filmmaking ecosystem becomes stronger.
Better actors make better films.
Better films grow the industry.
Everyone benefits.
