Milly zero and her acting academy Here for the Drama have been Fantastic for my son Thomas! he started off with some 1-1 sessions with milly where he learned so much from reactions, expressing emotion, how to read a script properly and so much more. She has helped Thomas to reach some very late stages on some major tv shows and also helped secure some excellent roles too. He has since started up with both the junior classes and is also currently taken lamda classes with HFTD At the moment. Honestly If your looking to progress your child in the acting industry or just help them gain confidence and friends then HFTD is the place to be. 5*

Angie Simmonds

Both my daughters do drama classes at HFTD They both love it. They have tried others and this is the best by far. They have gained so much confidence and learnt so much in the first term. Milly is amazing as is Josh so friendly and encouraging. I can’t recommend HFTD enough.

Sue Hill

Mother of Liv and Mia Grimwood

My daughter joined HFTD from day one and I can honestly say it was the best decision we have made. Her words “mum it’s the best thing I have ever done. HFTD isn’t like any other drama group and Milly is constantly bringing something new to the table, from voice coaches to having the top leading modelling agency come in to speak to the kids & also having her colleague’s from Eastenders come in to share there acting experience. Milly & Josh are the dream team everyone gets a chance to shine. My daughter comes out buzzing every Saturday & I absolutely love this especially as HFTD gives her the biggest confidence boost & allows her to express herself without being judged. Thank you HFTD!

“My daughter absolutely loves coming to HFTD. She was a little nervous to start but Milly and her team quickly made her feel at home. HFTD is lots of fun whilst encouraging to build confidence and self expression through play, social interaction and improvisation.This is no ordinary Drama Academy. HFTD have loads of exciting new ideas including special guests, photoshoots to producing their own movie!’”

Gail Watson

Mother of Elise Watson

We thought Sadie did an excellent job with her audition tape and it looked very professional and stood out to us, hence why we were keen to offer her representation. We are very selective in who we are taking onto our books and it is clear that Sadie is gaining excellent training from you at HFTD Academy.

My daughter absolutely loves her weekly class and misses not attending during the holidays. She has learnt so much over the last 12 months, the team are so supportive and gives the children a great insight to what is expected of them in such a competitive industry.

Natalie Zarb

Mother of Tillie Zarb

We cannot rate HFTD Acadamy highly enough! Our daughter absolutely loves every session. She has been part of other drama/ acting groups in the past and this is by far the best. Milly has carefully ensured that every child benefits from the academy and alongside the wonderful teachers, teaches valuable industry skills in a fun, relaxed and professional way. There are lots of fantastic opportunities such as shooting professional short films, accent workshops, script work plus introductions and lessons with other current screen actors and talent agencies such as Bonnie&Betty. They even threw an Oscars style party at the end of the year to screen the short films that every group had made which was really lovely. HFTD really is a breath of fresh air and has a professional yet personal and caring approach. Thanks HFTD x
