HERE'S WHAT OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS SAY ABOUT US...

Renowned Internationally

STUDENTS JOIN US FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE 🌍

Soon 'lockdown' was upon us, the studio had grown to 25 fantastic students and we switched to online lessons AND EXAMS. I will forever be astonished at the ease in which the students made changes for online LAMDA. They definitely helped keep ME sane!Online lessons have now become incredibly practical, it has meant that the studio has been able to take on students from all over the world including Dubai, Shanghai and Milan! Parents are no longer having to battle with the traffic, and tutors are able to use A TONNE of resources ranging from an online library of monologues to TED Talks and Explainer Videos.Now in 2024 we have grown to over 70 students split between 3 tutors and my focus has been able to shift to creating more opportunities for the future. This year I hosted my own TEDx Youth event specifically designed to give a platform to young public speakers. Looking forward into 2025 I will be re-hosting a TEDx Youth event as well as continually growing our community and striving to create more opportunities for student growth.

WHAT is LAMDA?

L.A.M.D.A stands for 'The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art' was founded in 1861 and is the UK’s oldest and most respected awarding body for Speech and Drama exams. These exams are similarly structured to music exams for example ABRSM. Students can complete grades from one to eight. LAMDA exams are about providing students with the opportunity to develop the life skills they need to be a success: attributes such as self-confidence and the ability to communicate clearly and present ideas. These skills are developed through various syllabi including Verse and Prose, Acting, Musical Theatre, Public Speaking and more.

WHAT ARE THE 'MN AWARDS'?

MN Awards is a brand new exam board, and are the first in the UK to specialise in Film & TV. MN started as (and still run) an award winning Talent Agency (MN Talent Management) who represent professional actors in Film, TV and Theatre. Their clients include Olivier winners and Bafta nominated actors. MN have now used their expertise to develop the 'MN Awards'. These exams are similarly structured to music exams for example ABRSM. Students can complete grades from one to eight. MN Awards "are designed for people interested in learning practical skills relevant for acting on camera. With a focus on vocal, physical, internal and technical skills that cross a broad range of film production, including green screen and mo-cap."

SCREEN ACTING
Ages 8+

Split across three stages and eight grades the MN Screen Acting Awards are designed to introduce and develop the core skills needed to perform for TV and Film. Each Grade is split into three sections: Acting for Screen, Green Screen & Motion Capture and Reflective Questions.Students will work with scripts and also devise their own scenes, learn about framing and camera angles, respond to live direction and more. Students work towards an exam, which takes place via remote video call (as the best way to assess Screen Acting is via a screen!), resulting in a nationally recognised qualification, with UCAS points for Grades 6+.

We're cheering you on!
