OUR MISSION
To build a community of respect-based coaches and educators, by establishing standards for acting training and offering sector-specific education.
Making acting training safer for everyone!
OUR MEMBERS
We are a community of respect-based coaches and educators committed to acting training that is consent-based, free of harassment, discrimination, bullying and violence.
Every member signs the AACE Code of Conduct for best practices, and agrees to abide by industry standards set out in the AACE Guidelines which include implementing dispute resolution mechanisms. Members also commit to ongoing education of themselves, to keep informed about current conversations in actor training.

UPCOMING TRAINING
Part of AACE’s mandate is to help coaches and educators find courses, workshops, seminars, lectures, podcasts and any other sector-specific educational opportunities to help them fulfill their commitment to ongoing education. Costs should never be a barrier and we will always do our utmost to keep workshop fees accessible. The acting training environment is different because the craft of acting is the exploration of the self with deeply personal connections requiring actors to be brave while being vulnerable.
PAST TRAINING
AACE offers training throughout the year online and in person. Many of our offerings are still accessible and free through our YouTube channel.
We know that finding sector-specific education on teaching acting can be difficult. Which is why it is part of AACE’s mission to find or create these opportunities for learning.
OUR PARTNERS
The goal of AACE is to improve the culture of acting education. This goal is shared by many organizations within the entertainment sector. Our Industry and Community Partners are essential in building awareness around respect-based coaching, and ensure that AACE continues to evolve with industry wide support. We are deeply grateful to all the organizations that believe in the work we are doing.
