PAST STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

  • I’m just at the beginning of the exploration really but I loved the reminder that when you are truly well warmed/ tuned etc, nobody else has the sound of your voice, no-one else can truly sound like you and that for me, I think will help me tap into wanting to find out much more about what I can do with voice. Thanks for a really illuminating and resourceful module!

  • It’s your energies and the knowledge you’re willing to share so THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I am a person with a whole new set of eyes because of what I’ve learnt.

Why do I need a course?

“The actor is an athlete of the heart.” Antonin Artaud, The Theatre and Its Double

Training is essential for early career actors. Natural talent and good looks are great, but a technical foundation is the only way to guarantee a long and healthy career. Acting is a craft; a skill.

And like any skill it can be developed. Of course some people come to it with more confidence or certain strengths, but everyone can develop as an actor.

Hard work and training is the only way to develop as an actor. But we’re not greedy. We genuinely want to help soon-to-be professionals improve their craft. So whether you’re keen to train with us, or somewhere else, do it! Training is vital for your acting career.
