Take this as your sign to just do it!

Wow, I cannot recommend Actors Studio enough. I wasn't even halfway through my 5 day course and I was already looking at other courses I could book on to! The whole crew are amazing, they couldn't be friendlier, they take the time to explain everything to you and no question is silly. The atmosphere is so fun yet it's still so apparent true professionals are at work. My five day course with James Larkin as a tutor was everything I'd hoped it would be a more, he was incredibly patient, friendly and knowledgeable. A huge thank you to every single person at Actors Studio. See you soon hopefully!!

This is now my sixth course completed…

This is now my sixth course completed with Actors Studio, and I can honestly say it is the best place, if you truly want to develop as an actor and enrich your performances on screen. My experience with Actors Studio has been life changing, as it has provided me with the fundamentals needed as an actor coming into the business. It also has also contributed to my growth, discipline, and new found confidence that I can incorporate both professionally and personally.

Their passion and eye for quality productions, storytelling, and acting, is just beyond comprehension. It is a professional environment founded on love for the art that just invigorates you with a fire, and a desire to want to know more and get involved in more.

So 

I would like to take the time to thank Helen Gormally (Production manager), who is such a lovely down to earth human being. From my observation she is someone who dedicates herself to supporting, accommodating, and ensuring future actors are walking out with the best training.

I would also like to thank the teachers, Directors, Creatives, and the production team such as: Sue Dunderdale, Taz Ayoub, Nathan Caselton, Sarah Hannah, Mel Churcher, Ifan Meredith, Harri Honey, Zak Morgan and Fin Masson who were crucial players in my creative development.

If you have the opportunity and privilege to work with any that I have named above, please believe me when I say you are in for a life changing experience.

Outstanding Showreel Experience in Geneva

I attended the Actors Studio Geneva showreel filming (Sept 1–5) and it was an amazing experience. Mel Churcher gave incredible advice that helped me grow as an actor, Nathan Caselton brought the eye of a seasoned director, and cameraman Zoran Veljkovic captured everything with great artistry. The whole process was professional, supportive, and inspiring. Highly recommended!

I honestly cannot recommend the 5-day Screen & Showreel course at Actors Studio enough

— what a ride! From day one, I felt supported and surrounded by people who genuinely know their stuff and cared about helping us grow. On top of that, the group of students was incredible as well, all kind and curious human beings.

The way everything was communicated in advance, along with the detailed welcome pack and group chat, made such a difference. It put me at ease before we’d even stepped into the studio.

The first two days with Sarah Hannah were packed with insight — she shared so much gold with us, the kind of advice that instantly makes you see acting in a new light. Then came the filming days, and wow… what an experience. Having Taz Ayoub as our director, alongside the brilliant crew, made those three days not only professional and educational but genuinely fun. They created such a warm, encouraging vibe that I walked away not just with a showreel, but with loads of new confidence and skills.

5 Day Screen & Showreel

I had an amazing time on the 5-day Screen & Showreel course at Actors Studio. Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and supportive.

In advance of the course, there was great communication, a detailed welcome pack and a WhatsApp group created for the class (Thank you Helen!). We had two days of learning with Sarah Hannah, who shared so much invaluable knowledge, followed by three days focusing on our scenes for the showreel. A huge shoutout to our Director Taz Ayoub and the whole crew on the filming days — they made the experience so enjoyable and we learned so much from them.

I’d highly recommend this course, and Actors Studio more generally.
