In-Person 12 Week ‘Real World’ Acting Intensive London
Jan - Apr 2025 SOLD OUT
Real-World acting solutions for Real-World acting problems. This is the only acting course of its kind in London. Working 100% with text at every stage of the course, it deals with both the practical and artistic challenges facing the actor and provides you with all the elements you need to become more successful at getting the job and then doing the job as an artist and a professional.
Having talent doesn’t mean you have craft. You have to be able to use your talent. My training empowers you with a clear and specific set of tools and techniques to do this.
The course is long enough to go deep and make profound changes in your acting, but short enough for you not to have to take too much time out of your career. It is split into three parts and covers: Scene Study, Casting Technique, Character Work.
Next one runs: September - December 2025. Exact dates to be confirmed in May. Get in touch to request a course brochure & full details. Please Note: this course is not suitable for beginners just starting out, with no foundational training or acting experience.
Check out what actors are saying…
“Gary has instilled in me a fearless and creative attitude towards my work that ultimately led me to landing my very first lead role in Lars Von Trier’s feature film ‘Nymphomaniac’. I am very certain that would not have happened without his challenging and inspiring training. He has taught me acting as a real craft, enabling me to go straight to the core of a scene and deeply explore characters beyond my intellectual capability and understanding.”
