Whatever your goals, whether you'd like to start acting as a hobby or to work towards exams in Acting or Speech and Communication, or perhaps you have a presentation that you want to become confident at, then we can discuss all your goals and set achievable targets in place. 

Shelley has guided many students through their exams for different examining boards such as LAMDA, Trinity, ERA and LCM.

Shelley has helped many students develop their skills on self-taping which is a necessity to auditioning and working within the industry.

During an acting lesson you may work on some or all of the following which will have their own exercises and tricks to explore each one:

​

Acting technique (exploring acting for stage and camera and different practitioners and styles)

Audition technique

Exam preparation

Exam performance

Script analysis/Scene study

Sight reading

Characterisation

Character timeline

Monologue 

Rehearsal techniques

Improvisation

Voice 

Posture

Projection

Body and gesture

Facial expressions

Classical vs Contemporary

Themes

​

There are so many areas to look at within acting and we can go in-depth as much as is required and necessary for each individual.

Just yourself and a willingness to learn! Unless something has been discussed previously to the lesson about what to prepare, materials such as scripts or scenes will be arranged for you. It is also good preparation to bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated. For new starters, a couple of forms will need to be completed by the student, or parent of student if they are under 18 years old for the first lesson.
