WHO WILL BE COACHING YOU?

Hi there actor,

I’m Louise, founder of the StandBy Method Acting Studio located in London,  Sheffield and now online, home to students who go on to prime channels like Netflix and BBC soaps. I have been coaching actors of all levels of experience and confidence for the last 13 years, helping them get their acting careers off the ground. 

 

I’m also a critically acclaimed actress winning rave reviews for my most recent film “Black Daruma”, and I’ve worked alongside Stephen Graham.

 

And now I’m offering you the inside scoop on how you can do this too!

In The Method Actors Circle, you’ll walk away each month:
  • Feeling the best you’ve ever felt about your craft and characters
  • With powerful exercises you’ve never used before that will engage even the harshest director with your characters
  • Knowing how to get out of your head and into the character instantly! (this isn’t a fancy promise, it’s a fact of working with Method Acting and why it’s the #1 acting technique))
  • What your strengths and weaknesses are so you can do more of the stuff that works and less of the stuff that doesn’t: HINT!! More role offers
  • With the tools and skills necessary to go from an unknown actor with a blank or limited to CV, to an Unstoppable Actor who gets regular acting work

I’m offering you a place inside The Method Actors Circle because I want you to succeed, like many of my students have and I want to inspire others by sharing you as one of the success stories of The Method Actors Circle!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5-star rated professional Method Acting training that turns you into a castable UNSTOPPABLE ACTOR!

When you combine the power of practical Method Acting exercises, constructive feedback and regular practice, you will produce more raw emotion, leading to more role offers!

But what usually happens is:

 

You’re given a script, rush to get it on it’s feet – what a juicy character – woooohoooo!

 

Then as soon as you’re in the scene…

 

“Did I say that line right?” “Ick my accent sounded a bit too strong then!!” – “Noooo, why have I just done that with my hands, the character wouldn’t do that!!!” “That emotion was so hammy”… “God I’m so rubbish”

Before you know it, the scene is making you feel like you're stuck in that tent in Blair Witch

And those actors you see landing role after role after role, what are they doing that you’re not? Why is it easy for them?

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH

You know you can do it, you love acting, so what’s going on?

A-list actors don’t do this, and those actors you see on socials landing role after role… They don’t either

They IMMERSE in the role…

By making a few easy tweaks to their audition pieces, characters and approach.

And you can do it, too!

You can blast the over-thinking into a million pieces, feel every inch the character from your head to your toes… And experience that deep emotional connection you crave…

“Before starting my training at StandBy, I was a generic actress. I gave unconfident performances and I had no connection to my characters. Louise turned this all around. I have been training with StandBy for a few years now, and my talent has never been more fuelled and nurtured. I am surrounded by talented, motivated people, and Louise is so supportive and caring. I can't recommend her training enough! ”
Jasmine Smith
Acting student, represented by Janet Hampson
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.

Nope, we only want actors in The Method Acting Circle who want to be there and want to learn and grow, if the time comes when you no longer want to learn you can cancel your membership. A member of our team will always be on hand to show you how

It’s understandable you may feel a little nervous, but we all have to start from scratch, you will be welcomed into the classes with zero judgment of your experience and treated with respect like everyone is. Once you try one Method Acting exercise, you’ll get the bug like so many people do - Method Acting is a fascinating technique.

No, the beauty of online training is that you can be from anywhere in the world, an acting studio doesn’t make you a better actor, acting techniques do… So no matter where you are in the world, all you need is a small amount of space around you - either a living room, a kitchen or the spare room and an internet connection. Easy!

I’m glad you asked! You can either attend The monthly audition zone class as an observer so you can take notes for when you do get an audition request, or you can offer yourself as a scene reader for someone who has got an audition so you can get more practice in, or you can skip that months’s audition zone

The only catch is you not giving it a try and learning and improving. The Method Actors Circle was established as it became apparent many actors wanted lower cost access to professional Method Acting training without the commitment of weekly classes. If you struggle to attend weekly classes because life can sometimes get a bit hectic, The Method Actor's Circle is perfect for those who still want to stay ahead of the competition without the commitment of weekly classes and prep

Give yourself the foundation you deserve. Giving yourself the best means giving yourself a place where your confidence and abilities are nurtured and your fees are kept within reason.  

WHY LOUISE & STANDBY METHOD ACTING STUDIO?

Outside of being the Artistic Director of the StandBy Method Acting Studio, I’ve also been working as a paid method actor since I was 21 and it was when I realised the real need for method actors that I knew I had to create a space where aspiring actors could come train for a fraction of the fees that drama schools charge.

But it couldn’t just be “more affordable”, I have vowed to make it more effective.



I’m Louise. And your career is in great hands.
