Acting Academy has been even better…
Acting Academy has been even better than drama school 25 years ago for me. Practical teaching from Mark and his incredible team. I have seriously made more progress in my career than ever before due to the amazing online lessons and weekend workshops.
Outstanding all round and fully recommended to actors at any stage in their journey.

Highly recommended
I’m not quite sure how we stumbled upon the Acting Academy but I’m so glad we have. Exceptional!! Given my 14 year old daughter a chance at fulfilling her dream. The first feedback we had from lesson one was directly addressing my daughter with lengthy and constructive advice. Thank you Mark for this opportunity

Acting Academy review
I’ve been with the Acting Academy for a few years now, and have loved every minute. Had to take a few breaks due to life getting in the way! My confidence has increased massively during this time and I am now on Spotlight and have an agent. I love attending the workshops, when I can, whether they are in London or Manchester and the zoom workshops are great. Mark and all the tutors are so helpful and supportive and I’m looking forward to taking my LAMDA exams next year, with support from Mark.

Everything you need to know about
Although there is no contract, so you can leave at any time, the course is designed to resemble a traditional Drama School as closely as possible. You will therefore receive at least three lessons per week for three years, becoming progressively more advanced with each semester.
Those students that wish to will be entered in to LAMDA exams to level 8. LAMDA is recognised to award qualifications on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in England by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), in Wales by Qualifications Wales (QiW), and in Northern Ireland by the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA)
When you sign up for the course you will be sent a link which will enable you to choose your own password for access to the classroom. Go to your classroom on a regular basis to see your new lessons and have permanent access to your previous lessons (making revision easy). If you haven't received this link within 10 minutes of signing up, please check you junk folder. If you still haven't received it contact us immediately.
The price of weekend courses are kept to a minimum to encourage as many students to attend as possible.
Normally it will be when you have finished the course, however provided that you have completed at least one year you can apply to be included early. The acceptance of that application will be entirely at the discretion of your tutors.
The weekend workshops are great opportunities to meet up with your fellow local students. In most cases we will use these as opportunities to pair you to work on dialogues.
Most of your assignments will involve you sending in a video of your work. One of your tutors will send you back their feedback.
