What we offer

Online and Live one-to-one Coaching

Coaching with a top professional tutor on a real-time, one-to-one basis. Available to non-actors and actors alike at sensible prices. If you’re seeking help with a tricky presentation, or you’ve an important audition coming up, we can make a difference very quickly.

The Audition Surgery

The TYA Audition Surgery team members have been at the receiving end of auditions literally hundreds of times, and have witnessed many disasters – but also the start of many wonderful careers. This is a chance for you to share in the lessons they have learned over the years.

Presentations with Impact

Making powerful, impactful presentations is something you too can learn. By taking simple steps such as reorganising your breath control and and adjusting your posture we can give you skill and authority to make yourself heard in your professional life. Make sure your audience pays attention, takes notice of you and what you have to say with our bespoke presentation training, tailored to your individual needs.

Specialist Tutors: Dialect, Voice, and Physical Skills 

Help with a specific dialect or accent, direct coaching via phone or Internet with a leading London professional. London dialect coaches Helen Ashton and Sarah Shepherd are on hand to help.

What does it cost?

For one-to-one acting classes we offer a “try-out” one-hour session (either in person or via Skype) for £45, so that you and we together can decide what’s the best way forward for you. Further classes cost £55 per hour, or £95 for a two-hour session. Other courses vary, depending on the length of the course and size of the group.
