Testimonies

"I learnt a lot in every session and saw my progress clearly over the weeks. Ellis's approach filled me with confidence, which translated across when I auditioned for RADA's MA Theatre Lab and successfully achieved a place on the course! I can't recommend Ellis and the other tutors at Teach Yourself Acting highly enough.”

Hannah Wilder

“Yesterday, there was a spontaneous outburst of applause after my monologue following Antony's death. This, not surprisingly, is from the scene we had worked on the most. It briefly stopped the show... Thank you very much for your tutelage. You are an amazing tutor and mentor.”

Joann Valley, Cleopatra in "Antony and Cleopatra", Ohio

“There really are no words to describe how incredibly helpful and kind you are. I am sure I will be signing up for this program again, as this truly is the best help I have ever received on audition monologue preparation.”

Alex Goldman, student actor, Montreal
