"I love attending The Actors Forge! I’ve learned so much about acting for TV and film, I’ve previously attended musical theatre classes but I prefer the actual acting more than the singing and dancing so Actors Forge is perfect for me. "

"Since joining I have become much more confident in my acting. I always feel welcome at the Forge and never judged for my acting abilities. Every week I am counting down the days until the next lesson, especially when there is cake!"

"Enrolling Mia in the Actors Forge has been a real game changer. The teachers have a real passion for nurturing young talent and this is very evident when I speak to them at collection. The classes are all about improvisation and imagination, learning how to use emotions and body language to act not just words, they learn advanced screen acting techniques and learn audition and show reel prep. They don’t just teach acting they are creating a launch pad for aspiring young actors. These classes are a must for any child that dreams of working in TV and Film."
