If anyone in Sheffield has dreams of getting into film or theatre, StandBy gets my vote as the best place to start.
I highly recommend StandBy! Louise is professional, empathetic, encouraging and there’s nothing she doesn’t know about Method Acting… Not to mention one of the best actresses I have ever met. I studied acting at The Lee Strasberg Film and Theatre Institute in New York and Louise is as good as any of the teachers there. I travel up from London and I always walk away inspired, motivated and very very satisfied.
StandBy Method Acting Studio Is THE best acting studio in Yorkshire and is the only legitimate acting studio that specialises in The Method outside of London. Before coming to the studio I was educated in The Method but not practised, once I saw that Louise had first hand training from The Actors Studio I was very eager to train here and I have not been disappointed. Louise has helped me to leave bad acting habits in the past and instead taught me a authentic acting approach that the best actors in the world use. Louise is extremely passionate and helpful. I highly recommend StandBy Method Acting Studio.
Since training with StandBy I have gone on to land paid work on a regular basis, join spotlight, land an agent, work all over the country and meet the top casting directors in the industry. It is great training at StandBy learning a technique that the best actors ever have used and to be able to express a story in the most authentic way.
When I first came to Standby I was very frustrated and nearly gave up on my career, but after meeting with Louise and training with her, I found my confidence; she helped to discover my gifts as an actress. The training has been superb, this enabled me to get an agent and get cast in two shorts films. I have learnt so much from StandBy and the support system is amazing I cannot fault it at all! Love it.
I highly recommend StandBy Method Acting Studio. Louise is a fantastic and gifted teacher who is really helping me get over bad acting habits that have held me back.
The results in a short space of time have been amazing and there’s a lot more to go. If you are struggling with your acting, I highly recommend the classes.
I loved acting as a young person, but lost my way as an adult! Life made me lose all confidence… Until I discovered StandBy! World class training, on my doorstep, which is helping me make my dream a reality!
I began at StandBy with minimal acting experience and wanted to know whether I could actually develop the skills to act professionally. After only a couple of months of studying with StandBy I have seen a massive development in my skills and confidence. StandBy is the best tool an actor can use to develop and Louise is the best acting coach you could ask for.
I found StandBy Method Acting Studio’s training fascinating and very valuable. We learnt how to use The Method and how best to portray characters and (most importantly for me) how to lose inhibitions whilst acting. All the actors were supportive of each other and offered valuable constructive criticism on performances.
I thoroughly enjoyed the program and have since been back to take part in other workshops offered. I would recommend StandBy particularly if you are new to acting and don’t know where to start or if you lack confidence in your ability.
I knew nothing about acting and nothing about becomming a professional actor. I didn’t think it was possible. That was a year ago, before I began training with StandBy Method Acting Studio. After every class/programme I have more knowledge, more experience and above all I am truly inspired by Louise. Thanks to her I am now part of the acting industry.
I Started StandBy with no acting experience apart from primary school plays, no knowledge or any idea of what to expect. 2 years later, I have transformed into a person I didn’t know I could be. My acting has improved so much over little time and I have even been accepted into The American Academy of Dramatic Art. StandBy Method Acting Studio brings out the inner you, the actor you want to be with all the positivity in the world.
I always wanted to be an actor but never did anything about it. I knew I could act and I was good at it, believing I didn’t need lessons to be a good actor I just thought about it and nothing more.
I eventually found and joined StandBy Method Acting Studio. Once I started taking lessons I realised that I was right. I didn’t need to be taught how to be a good actor, however, I quickly realised I actually wanted to be an outstanding actor for which there is no better place than StandBy.
If ever I had a chance of honing my skills and craft to become the type of actor that inspires generations to come, I can think of no better place than StandBy, nor a better teacher than Louise O’Leary.
