I doubt very much that they could remind me of what I might have forgotten, let alone teach me anything new !

Must Do

I had a wonderful One-Day-Acting experience with Nathan and Zak, who were really helpful and patient with everyone. I had expected to be super nervous, but I wasn't: The atmosphere was amazing and everybody was really nice. We were a mixed group, mostly beginners, but it was so interesting to see what we were capable of. Thanks for this challenge and all the insights into how scenes are shot. Best part: We did lots of practical work :) Despite living abroad, I would always come back for another course!

1 day course 5☆

From the booking to completion 5☆

I had a brilliant day today at the 1 day Introduction to Screen Acting run by Nathan Caselton.

I would recommend this to everyone from Beginners to professionals.

Nathan and Zak did a fantastic job, they made sure we all got to know each other first before we start allowing everyone to get relaxed and the scripts were different so no one was doing the same scene.

Everyone manged to film a scene on what effectively a taster session is all about.

Very professional set and team at the Pinewood Studios also the setting was excellent for the scenes we were shooting.

This one day course was excellently planned and well paced with a broad choice of scripts enabling the teaching of many techniques. Nathan was knowledgable and approachable, giving just enough information and encouraging all participation.

In one word EXCELLENT

In one word EXCELLENT! At Actors studio, I did one week with Tim Kent, one week with Paulette Randall and one month Masterclass. One better than the other! Tim was great, I've learned a lot from him. Paulette's exceptional energy is just the best thing when you're filming. And the Masterclass was amazing! Each time I did an Actors studio course, everything went so smooth. Great organisation. Helen is always available and helps you with literally anything you need. The filming crew is super professional and talented, but also kind, supportive and funny. Each member of Actors studio team is friendly and positive. On all three courses, I've had amazing classmates and I've made new friends that I am still in contact with. In Masterclass we were privileged to work with Sarah Hannah (amazing teacher - passionate about teaching, demanding, strict, critical, direct, really great if you want to grow, gave me a lot of useful advice), Sue Dunderdale (very experienced - direct, supportive, focused, funny), Clare Davidson (passionate coach - loves teaching, lovely energy, motivated me and gave me very useful voice advice), Ben Cogan (great coach and casting director, brought a lot of positive energy and helped me with some dilemma), Ifan Meredith (experienced actor, gave us even more time and energy then it was expected from him, he also gave me interesting ideas to think about), Taz Ayoub (awesome director, really fun to work with and great to learn from) and last but not least Nathan Caselton (young confident director with burning passion, strong focus, clear directions and very useful advice).
After each course, I’ve finished here, my confidence has grown tremendously. I loved that we needed to learn a new script every day, because I've realised it is not as scary as it sounds and it is totally doable! I am a different person now and I am grateful that all the money I have invested into these courses, actually helped me become the version of me, that I was hoping on becoming. Now, I am ready for anything! :)
I recommend Actors studio to anyone, who is really looking to learn new skills, who is ready to grow and is prepared to put in the hard work.
Thank you Actors studio for everything!

I did the month long Screen Acting Masterclass at Pinewood Studios. It was one of the best things I have ever done and I’m so glad I chose to do it! Every coach and member of crew was so professional and so kind and fun at the same time. I have gained invaluable knowledge and connections as well as friends! I would recommend to anyone looking to start transitioning into screen acting and even if you’ve got experience!

Amazing Intro Day with Nathan and Zak

Had a brilliant day at the Introduction to Screen Acting run by Nathan Caselton. They pack in such a lot of training and it was especially impressive to be filmed in a scene on what’s effectively a taster session. Great bunch, so much fun and the Pinewood Studios setting is epic - if the journey wasn’t so long, I’d be back every week!

5 Star Experience

I recently had the opportunity to film at Actors Studio on, and it was a five-star experience! The team's professionalism and expertise shone through every aspect of the production.

Tim, the director, shared his guidance and insights which not only enhanced every scene but also brought out the best in me and my fellow actors. He has a keen eye for detail and his advice was invaluable.

Harri's work on sound and file management was flawless. The smooth running of the technical side ensured no time was wasted, and I am thoroughly impressed with how quickly everything happened.

The camera crew, Nathan and Zak, were always ready to assist. Their willingness to explain shots and accommodate my questions about movement within the frame was greatly appreciated. Their expertise made the shots look amazing. Olivia's friendly demeanor and great hair & make-up skills ensured everyone looked great, and the runner/clapper was kind and helpful assisting us in navigating the facility which was a great help.

The entire team created a pressure-free environment, letting me focus on the acting and I am so grateful for Helen the production co-ordinator who put in a lot of effort to make this happen last-minute.

4 week screen acting masterclass

4 week screen acting masterclass. High quality training, from technical camera through insightful and genuine acting. Held by knowledgeable trainers. Filming with excellent directors and crew, the show reels are going to look amazing! Overall the training was of very high quality and the training ethos was rigorous yet positive and supportive.

My experience of Chubbuck's training…

My experience of Chubbuck's training course was great. Once I thought that I m in a psychologist consultation room. The technique is powerful n opens you up; making you express what you are holding internal. You fire at the camera with everything in your belly. I plan to build my knowledge of Chubbuck's course in coming months.

One Day Acting For Screen Workshop:

One Day Acting For Screen Workshop:
As a regular at these workshops, it was interesting to experience a different Course Tutor in Nathan who was superb, articulate, insightful and generous with his analysis on how the scene could be improved with eye line, body posture and delivery of the script.
The camera operator was extremely committed to her work and was willing to obtain a range of props to support the scenes.
The professional footage could be used as part of your showreel for casting directors and agents…it’s that good!

Always a welcoming, relaxed and supportive environment where diversity is acknowledged and encouraged…

Nathan was brilliant to work with - kind yet direct! He’s great at what he does as a director, coach and educator and Maddie was brilliant filming us all too.
It’s also been lovely to speak to Helen - very helpful in discussing the courses and any questions I’ve had.
Looking forward to receiving the footage and hopefully booking something else in the near future!
Top experience so far.
Thanks AS!

Loved this workshop! To me it was a little taster to see if acting was for me and it was great. Nathan was a mixture of no nonsense and a lot of experience but not such a hard ass you have to worry too much. Would definitely like to work with him again!!!
