Anthony’s screen acting classes are a breath of fresh air. Providing a supportive environment to hone your screen acting skills with out judgement. By encouraging participation in the technical aspects of your peers work, a more comprehensive understanding of the film making process is gained in comparison to less hands on classes.

Clear, professional classes that really help you work on the technical aspects of screen acting. You get lots of opportunities to practice and receive feedback from the teacher and peers. The environment is truly supportive.

Anthony provides a supportive and knowledgeable safe space to work on your screen skills. Highly recommend if you’re wanting to improve on camera work with a likeminded group of people

I really enjoy these classes – definitely recommend!
I took the advanced screen acting course as it’s something I want to continually practice between auditions and jobs ( and also don’t have space for a huge time commitment so the 2 hour classes were fab.) I booked this class specifically because Anthony is a teacher I trust completely and I know continually gets the best out of everyone, he has the respect of every class he teaches and has always created a safe space I look forward to going to. (Which can be rare as an actor) His classes are fun, positive, progressive, and mirror on set or audition experiences.

Thia is the class I’ve been looking for forever! I have learned so much from Anthony – I hope these classes keep going – I’d go twice per week if I could! This class give you a safe space to grow whilst giving you a good amount of pressure needed to take on direction quickly. Anthony brings to light what you need to work on in a kind, nurturing environment. Thank you!

Anthony is an attentive and insightful teacher who really focuses on each actor’s individual skills. He gives time and space for us to explore different takes, which makes the process feel creative and collaborative. I’ve learned so much from watching everyone’s footage back t’s invaluable to see the growth from take to take and to learn from each other’s work. I really enjoy working with Anthony and would love even more time in his classes.

This course was a great course in terms to keep up with refreshing your acting abilities and learning new ways to approach and character or a scene not just by the expertise from Anthony but also the support for others within the cohort. Would definitely do it again I just wish I could have been longer
