WE ARE
AKTA
We help performers and creatives grow their careers and make the industry more inclusive by offering affordable training and services.
As the UK's leading provider of headshots, video, and audio reels, we proudly partner with top theatre companies and drama schools.
OUR MISSION
There must be greater diversity in the creative industries. Marginalised communities are overrepresented in the lowest economic group, so, in order for us to see great representation, we first have to make it more cost effective. Akta aims to break down the financial barriers that hinder talented individuals from marginalised communities, by offering high-quality headshot and showreel services on a pay-what-you-can basis.
We are committed to amplifying diverse voices and challenging industry norms, ensuring that everyone can present themselves with professionalism and pride. By investing in authentic representation, we strive to create more inclusive and equitable industries where every talent is celebrated and every story is told. Together, we are transforming the narrative, one headshot and showreel at a time..

ADD YOUR EMAIL BELOW TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN OUR BOOKS OPEN
We meet incredible actors every day. Actors that are talented, driven, and ready to work — but still struggling to be seen. That’s why we’re starting The Akta Agency and TeamAkta Commercials: two branches of representation built to open doors for brilliant performers.
Our books will stay open. We don’t believe in submission windows or industry gatekeeping. We’re want to discover actors with skill, ambition, and something important to say.
If that sounds like you, let us know. Pop down your email and we’ll be in touch when we’re ready for submissions.
