About the Summer Sessions
We are excited to announce the return of our popular Access NFTS Summer Sessions for 2026!
These FREE hands on sessions are open to young people aged 11–16 and will run throughout August at our Beaconsfield campus. Each week, participants can choose from at least four different 2 hour workshops, each exploring a unique career pathway in the Film, TV and Games industries.
Girls Sound Squad: Movie Audio & Secret Superpowers
Who really runs a movie set? The person holding the microphone. Behind every awesome movie scene is a Sound Recordist who captures the dialogue and controls the chaos. This workshop is for Girls who wants to try out cool film gear and discover why this job takes a mix of tech skills, sharp ears, and serious people skills!️
Step 1: Gear Up like a Pro
Get your hands on real film-set audio gear. You will learn how to plug in, read audio levels, and master the exact tech that directors use to make their movies sound incredible.️
Step 2: The Stealth Mic Challenge
Learn how to hide tiny "lavalier" microphones on actors. You will test out the best places to clip them so they capture crisp voices perfectly while staying completely invisible to the camera.
Step 3: Dealing with Drama (Roleplay!)
Film sets can get crazy. You might have to mic up a stressed-out producer or an awkward actor who is having a bad day! Jump into fun roleplay games where you will practice staying calm, reading the room, and using smart people skills to get the job done.
Cool tech meets real-world superpowers. No experience needed—just bring your ears!
