FAQS

Questions we get asked.

Do I need experience to join Pros?

No. From complete beginners to actors with professional credits, everyone is welcome. Bring enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.

How much does it cost?

£56 a month for 90-minute classes or £65 for 2-hour classes, paid in 12 equal monthly payments. Your first group class is free, with 10% off for siblings.

What happens in a Pros class?

Scene work, self-tapes, audition practice and camera technique, alongside stagecraft and improvisation. Training develops throughout the year as we work towards performances and films.

Do you teach stage and screen acting?

Yes. Regular camera practice sits alongside voice, physicality and stagecraft, building strong foundations for both.

Can you help me pursue acting professionally?

Pros are on camera every few weeks across different scripts, characters, genres and tones, so a real brief is nothing new. Beyond class we offer honest guidance on agents, headshots, showreels, Spotlight, auditions and drama school, with agency workshops, discounted headshot days in summer and winter, and high-res footage sent home for applications. And when a brief lands on Thursday night for Monday, 1-2-1 self-tape filming is available with a coach your teen already knows, edited and ready to send.

Do I have to want an acting career?

No. Whether acting is your ambition or something you love, there's a place for you. Develop your craft, build confidence and enjoy being part of the group.
