Hey so I want to get a serious youth acting career but I have multiple paths and I want to make sure I pick the best one.( Theatre to film/tv On camera acting training/classes to search for agent and auditioning OR jump straight into film/tv acting classes) Obviously there’s gaps in between this such as headshots, auditions, etc. and the path is never easy and clear. Also when I do take classes, what classes should I take? (Scene study, auditioning, etc.) Thank you so much!

Sharing my recent success, I had my first theatre studies journal paper published a few days ago. It's available on open access here: Full article: The Rules of Call: A New Taxonomy and Critique of Different Calls in Meisner Technique Exercises

Those of you in the Sunday chats will have heard me talking about doing a teaching qualification (which I've now finished) and teaching the Meisner technique & a new version of it, the Gonsalves Method. I'm launching a 6 week online course of the Gonsalves Method, starting Monday 7th Sept. Details here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/6-week-online-acting-class-tickets-1993630946829?aff=oddtdtcreator Would be great to see some of you there.

Sharing the show I'm directing: "In a cabin in a forest by a mountain, Paul and Rebecca find time, space and truth to try saving their fractured relationship. Yet in the shadow of the mountain, paranoia grows as someone from their past has followed them here. A psychological thriller that dives into betrayal and the price of trust, forgiveness and revenge. With razor-sharp dialogue and an atmosphere thick with dread, this is modern theatre that creeps under your skin and lingers long after the lights fade. Who can you trust in the dark, who can you trust atop the mountain?" Tickets on sale now. 26-29th August, Alma tavern, Bristol Buy Tickets – Black Mountain by Brad Birch – Alma Tavern and Theatre 4th September, Porters, Cardiff Black Mountain at Porter's Theatre event tickets from TicketSource You can follow our production group here: Instagram Facebook

I’m new to this journey, but I joined this acting community because I want to grow beyond my comfort zone. As an introvert, communication and self-expression were always difficult for me, and acting feels like a path that can transform both my personality and my future. In the future, I want to build myself as a real-life actor — not just on screen, but as someone who can understand emotions, connect with people, and inspire through stories. At the same time, I also want financial stability and a meaningful career, because I’ve learned that growth, passion, and money all connect in real life. Right now, I’m just taking the first step — learning, improving, and becoming a better version of myself every day.
