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.
OUR SERVICES
We offer a range of high-quality services for creatives. From headshots to voice reels, we have what you need.
At our studio, we believe headshots and showreels should truly reflect who you are. We're all about showcasing the best version of you.
PAY WHAT
YOU CAN
Your talent deserves to be seen, no matter the budget. Our Pay What You Can Initiative gives creatives full access to our services paying the price that fits in your pocket. Whether you are just starting or taking the next step, we’re here to support your journey!

THE AKTA AGENCY
Sign up to our newsletter for future updates.
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 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.
