To do a course in Pinewood is lovely and the week filming the bespoke showreels was a brilliant finale. Highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to work in TV and film.
Plus it is run by a very lovely bunch of creatives who tailor make the experience to nurture the best out of individuals.
I feel even more confident and prepared to take on the industry armed with acting toolkit. Thank you Actors Studio. Highly recommended!
I would recommend to anyone looking to start transitioning into screen acting and even if you’ve got experience!
The crew are absolutely fantastic and really make the course what it is - from talented and inspiring teachers, directors, scriptwriters, 1st ADs, camera crew, lighting and sound technicians - they're all inspiring in their own way.
This course had really challenged me every day, feeling tired as I got home and learning scripts everyday. The bar was set to high standards which really pushed me to come out as a much better actor.
The course itself is challenging but very informative, encouraging and fun! I can highly recommend the Masterclass and I will definitely come back to do another course soon - Thank you!
This is certainly no walk in the park, you will be pushed in mentally and emotionally novel ways, ways not provoked before. You will surprise yourself!
Covering the course in detail would require an essay. To put it shortly, if you have the time, money and curiosity, then go for it.
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.
The filming crew is super professional and talented, but also kind, supportive and funny. Each member of Actors studio team is friendly and positive.
