The Method
Hi I’m Louise.
I’ve been acting for 12 years. I became fascinated with Method Acting at drama school because I knew it nurtured world class actors and trained actors to be highly disciplined with their art. I realised that method acting wasn’t accessible in the North of England so I decided to create a place for you to learn the world’s best technique saving you travelling to London.
I love training aspiring actors and passing on my skills. I take a hands on approach and am really excited each time one of my actors makes a breakthrough.

Expertise:
Stage Combat and Shakespeare
Hi all,
I’m Mike and I have been professionally acting and fighting my way through stages around Britain and the world since 2006. I have spent most of the time acting and choreographing Shakespeare’s characters, and the reason I was, and still am, drawn to stage combat is because it is one of the highest acting disciplines I know; using completely controlled and staged physicality to tell truth at a point when dramatic conflict is at its most distilled; when words fail.
Training:
StandBy Method Acting Studio
Expertise:
Method Acting
Hi I’m Jody, my formal training at StandBy Method Acting Studio really sharpened the tools in my actors tool box. I believe that just like an athlete an actor must continually train to improve and progress. My fascination for acting is best described in the analogy “it is like holding a mirror up to life”. In my experience Method Acting is the only technique that allows you to do this with a clear understanding of the human condition.
I look forward to imparting my knowledge with many aspiring actors to help them grow and sharpen their skills.
