Sharpe Screen Acting School

I thoroughly enjoyed Becky's classes; she made me more confident to walk into an audition room and to be in front of a camera. She also allowed me to know myself better, as an artist and a performer. She is an incredible support and teacher in all the classes that she teaches, and a brilliant director.

I signed up to the 2 day screen acting weekend workshop a couple of weeks ago ans have signed up to more since. We learned about audition etiquette, we were given invaluable advice, we also did some human behaviour observational work and covered some Meisner and Method acting techniques which I found very beneficial and we had fun learning! Although I trained almost 18 years ago for 2 years at a London Theatre School I have very little experience and I have only recently joined the acting community again. I feel I have improved a lot in a short space of time as things are explained in detail and broken down and I have gained more confidence along the way and...I look forward to my next lesson!

I attended a Screen Acting course with Becky and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It deepened my understanding of some of the Meisner techniques, as well as really helping to develop my skills in script analysis. It was really cool to get to work remotely with actors from all around the globe and despite being online, the classes still felt very intimate. Becky is honest and encouraging in her approach to teaching. I feel that I can always fully trust her feedback. In each class, Becky gave space for reflection and appraisal which was very beneficial for my learning. It always feels that Becky is rooting for you and knows just the right amount to push you in her classes. I found that Ive even started to transfer what Ive learned about acting from this class into daily life. I have started using the techniques from the class when my internal chatter starts to get loud or I start feel insecure. It has helped to ease anxiety and quiet my inner critic! So the sessions have been a fabulous acting class and therapy session wrapped in one!!

I decided to try one class after finding out about Beckys workshops through social media. After that, I knew I wanted to pursue her courses further. I took the intensive weekend screen acting foundation course which taught me so much about both screen acting as a discipline and also about the business from audition etiquette and script choices, to varied on-camera techniques, script interpretation and understanding how to keep dialogue fresh and spontaneous through listening in the moment and character choices. Beckys teaching methods are both extremely experienced and completely relatable, with a fun and casual atmosphere which allows a group to share humour and trust. A no-nonsense guide to real-world expectations which prepare you for the profession.

I'm so glad I've worked with Becky towards getting my showreel put together for many reasons. She's so wonderfully easy to get on with which immediately sets you at ease with whatever it is you're doing, whether in group or individually. She's flexible and accomodating if you have bespoke needs in terms of your schedule. Her sense of humour and mix of intellectual and creative insight makes for a very amenable and totally engaging directing approach. She has an informed understanding of the screen-acting process so is able to communicate effectively, which empowers you to produce authentic work. I would absolutely recommend undertaking coaching with her toward filming any material, especially if, like me, you're primarily a theatre actor. I understand she also provides sessions in which she is able to advise on your business plan, branding, etc. which I'm sure I'll be taking advantage of in the near future.
