We all LOVED watching YSA's JR teacher and long-term pupil of mine, Joel McVeagh playing a 'supporting lead' role in A Christmas Prince and now this coming Christmas we will get to do it all over again. This film was a Netflix smash and Joel's performance was amazing. Joel has been working extremely hard to get to this level of success and is excited at the prospects that may come as a result of this wonderful production. He has just come back from filming in Romania for 5 weeks! We are all extremely proud of you Joel. xYSAx

Zak Sutcliffe is taking this industry by storm.

From the day he entered YSA's doors, he has been focussed, dedicated and taken every opportunity that we have thrown at him. With roles in 'Grimsby' 'Peter and Wendy' 'No Offence' 'Butterfly' just to name a few. Zak is the word on the industry's lips. From taking roles in Hollywood funded films, TV dramas and a award winning TV Film and Shorts, he has added another massive feat to his CV.

A lead in popular TV Series.

​This young man is only 17 and has already appeared to have done everything.

​We are all extremely proud of you at YSA. Well Done. xYSAx

YSA was lucky enough to be approached by a production company charged with making this wonderful Pilot for channel 4, all about Scouting! They trusted YSA's actors and methods and after a series of selftapes and casting decisions they decided upon 8 of our pupils and our pupils only for the production! We are so proud. Well done to ALL involved! 

A wonderful project for channel 4 have got in touch with YSA to directly cast from us and therefore have selected the above students to partake in this wonderful project. Well done from all at YSA xYSAx

Summer and Megan had a wonderful time at the audition and by all account did very well. Well Done from all at YSA xYSAx
