Feedback From Other Courses
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for an absolutely fabulous 3 days. I feel I’ve learnt so much in such a short time. I’m in a one off play in a few months; what I’ve learnt is going to help me so much. My whole view and take on acting has been turned around. I can already feel that I’m going to be turning in a much more professional performance. Thank you once again.
Mark Cainen, Swansea, Wales
I would like to take this opportunity to again thank Brian for such an amazing and liberating weekend. Before I did the bootcamp I was seriously considering giving up acting, which I now believe is due to my lack of passion with the techniques I was using. They were beneficial body and voice techniques but deep down I know and definitely agree with Brian that they are just not enough to create great acting. I want people to believe what I am doing/ feeling/ who I am playing and I know if I train with The Method I will get to that place! I feel as if I have found my path again, one that I was steered off years ago by well meaning tutors. I have heard many a tutor banging on about training and I never felt much enthusiasm for it, but now I most certainly do! I actually believe that I can get somewhere with this training.
Please tell Brian thank you – thank you for re-igniting my passion for acting with his Method training. I am at last on the right path and know deep in my soul that this is what I NEED to do with my life!
I would happily recommend anybody to join Brian’s course as he is an excellent teacher and such an inspiration. I hope to work again with him in the future.
Louise Turton, London SW20
I was preparing myself to write you an e-mail with all of the best words that truly come from my heart about the course and the great experience you gave me and to the whole group. I must emphasise that it was my best course I have ever been to and the most challenging as well in my entire life. I learnt a lot and I see life different now.
This is for those who would like to do the course:
If you would like to be an actor and you are looking for the right training course….and you come across Mr. Brian Timoney’s courses, my advice is!!! Stop there… you are lucky, in fact very lucky! Start your course! I believe I achieved more than I expected and I saw everything happening…..in fact few times I even cried, couldn’t help it!
It was brilliant and I am proud to have decided to do it. I would like to continue with it as it is for my best and you only get one chance.
If any of your future students would like to call me in order to speak about the course please give them my number or my e-mail.
I can’t wait to see you and hopefully to take part in your next course.
Thank you so much.
Olsi Meneri, Watford, Herts
Thanks for a brilliant 3 days at your Method Acting boot camp which has had a clear positive effect on me. I know now that this is the direction I want to go in and I will play, replay and rehearse the wonderful techniques we covered in class in my living room! The main thing is that I feel less afraid to be private in public now and it will help me stop trying to act. Today I am feeling rather down, but for the right reason, that I didn’t want it to end! I am totally committed to becoming the best actress I can be because I am in love with every detail of acting for itself and not for what it may bring. Your course has given me a lot of self belief now, and I hope I can attend a future longer course with you sometime to make you proud of me as a student. I am never giving up on this but will fight for my needs now, just as you showed me how to fight for my character’s on stage, emotionally and physically. This is just the beginning of a new journey for me, so thank you 
Emma Kelly, Solihull, West Midlands
I wanted to say a big thank you for the last three days. I’ve taken so much from the three day course alone. I now have a much greater understanding of how to approach a script, the importance of concentration and relaxation along with how to utilise techniques such as sense memory and animal exercises to help reveal the life of a character. Truly insightful and you’ve certainly given me a thirst for more! Thanks again for a great few days.
Claire Buckingham, High Wycombe
Thank you for an amazing weekend. The course was such an eye-opener and gave me a better insight into the method ‘acting’ and myself. I hope that I will get to work with Brian again. Thanks.
Hannah Brooks, Exeter
I attended the 3 day course for a basic understanding of method acting. The course was very enjoyable, met some nice people & learnt more than first expected. I would recommend the course to anyone serious about pursuing an acting career.
Ryan Bell, Essex
I am glad I have the chance to thank you for the course. I knew when I signed up for the course that I wanted to further my acting skills but I never thought I would learn so much about acting or about myself! I came onto the course with an open mind and keen to learn more and I feel that I have done this in spades. I have always held something back from a performance, not wanting to give too much of myself but I have never felt more comfortable acting before as I did on the course. The whole experience has been invaluable to me and I “would” advise and “will” advise anyone who is serious about acting to attend this course. Thanks again.
John Solomonides
” I have just completed the three day introduction to method acting and the course has increased my confidence and the new approaches I learnt have definitely improved my ability.”
Best wishes

“The class that Brian teaches has opened my eyes to a whole new world of acting. One that I will keep for the rest of my career. It has inspired me in more ways than I realised. The fella knows his stuff! A+!!”
JC. Ortanna, West Sussex
“Real, truthful, intelligent training. This class really puts your acting skills to the test and makes you work hard. It was one of the most useful classes I have ever been to. Brian Timoney has a great ability to read and understand an actor’s needs.”
Sarah-Jane Sherwood, Kent
“Having never acted before, Brian’s course could not have been better. He knows the techniques inside out, he knows the industry back to front, he knows the work top to bottom. Also, he knows inspirational acting has the power to change people and most importantly, his motivation is to teach you all about it. Epic course, serve me up another portion.”
Robert Emmanuel, Whitechapel, London
”It was a truly great experience. I have learned so much about acting, as well as about myself”
Emek Ozer, Turkey
“I found the introduction to method acting course with Brian both educational and enlightening and I would recommend to any actor serious about the profession. I even found it useful in my current occupation which is in sales. Brian is a great tutor and I am looking forward to continuing my journey with the method centre.”
Hassan Eltom, London, SW7
“Brian’s courses and tuition are excellent. The classes bring you so much more than just acting with a structured methodology that allows you to be believable. It begins to open up you andallows you to explore yourself. It can allow you to gain control and then allowyou to bring to life the characters you play I look forward to returing to the studio in the future and continuing my development. Thanks Brian.
Michael Archer, London
“When I left Ireland over a year ago and before doing Brian`s Induction to Method Acting Course I had very little experience of Acting whatsoever and if you said to me a year ago that I would be taking a Method Acting Course with Brian Timoney I would have said that you were mad in the head!!! But I would have been mad in the head if I didn’t do this course!!! Even before I booked the course I was for weeks thinking would I, or wouldn`t I!!! Trust Me JUST DO IT!!! I can honestly say that it was the best experience of my life and I feel for the first time in my life that I have found someone who understands me and what road to take in my life! Brian is not just ateacher, he is much, much more that that! He understands people, honest, listens and knows what is best for you and an inspiration to all! If you want to be the best in acting then Brian Timoney Method Acting courses are the way forward and to achieving the highest standards and reaching your dreams! I have only happy memories of Brian’s course and a lot of laughter with everyone I got to meet on the course and I look forward to taking more courses with Brian Timoney in the future”
John O’Neill, Ireland
“I have just completed Brian Timoney’s introduction to method acting course. Brian has a gift of making you feel at ease and able to experiment in a safe, non-intimidating environment. Each week I learnt something new which has equipped me with tools to use as an actor – be it a sensory or personal memory, studying an animal and then humanising its traits for a character, or a personalisation. I have always found monologues hard as I worry about forgetting lines but with his teaching, I have gained in confidence and the fear has greatly reduced as the techniques taught take the focus away from the lines so the words just come naturally. I have the deepest respect for Brian – he really knows his stuff and cares about each of his students. The main thing is to trust him completely and results definitely come. I learnt more techniques in 6 evening classes than I did in a year at drama school.
Thanks Brian- you’re the best!!”
Carolyn Goodyear, Hammersmith
“I found the Advanced Method classes to be especially challenging, insightful and rewarding. With in-depth focus on the different aspects of the technique and how to apply them to your work, Brian’s main priority is to get you producing a high standard of acting. I also really appreciated learning about the business, and now feel much less daunted about making a start in it. My own confidence, ability and understanding has broadened, and I watched the same happen with my classmates. Thanks for helping me relax! A really helpful 6 weeks. Highly recommended.
Lorraine Barr, Finchley
“I approached Brian about a year after completing a course in acting at theatre school – although it was a great experience and I did enjoy it I wasn’t getting any work, and I still felt like I was no closer to being able to create a believable, honest character. Acting would feel uncomfortable and sometimes incredibly forced and false – something I had to address as my confidence was plummeting. I came across Brian’s classes online and enrolled. Right from the briefing at the beginning of the class, I identified with what Brian was saying and knew this was the place that was going to help me. From relaxation techniques to sense memory exercises, as well as working on scene work and monologues – I learnt so so much and slowly I am beginning to be able to relax and to tap into emotions (without forcing them!!) and bring them into my work. I have since completed a second course with Brian that helped me to create strong monologues ready for auditions – I am feeling so much more confident and I’m enjoying acting again – the techniques he teaches as well as the advice he gives each student will help actors at any stage in their career. I will continue to use the relaxation and sense memory techniques and I am looking forward to working with Brian again. I highly recommend his classes to anyone who is serious about acting – for me and I know so many others, it is the best investment for your career.”
Alex Dimmer, Camden, London
“The Advanced Classes gave me back my faith in my work and gave me a new set of ideas to work with that have helped me improve the way that I approach the text. Brian is a fair and honest teacher who was extremely helpful and supportive in the lessons. He taught us all to not be afraid anymore, which is one of the biggest problems with all actors. You’re an amazing teacher and I was really lucky to work with you.
Thank you.”
Rita Walters, Middlesex
‘I learned more in this week than the years I spent at Drama School.’
Carolyn Goodyear, Hammersmith, London
‘What did I like about the course? What didn’t I like about the course? It was fantastic!’
Hugh McLaughlin, Northern Ireland
‘This was the best week of my life’
Anne Stafford, Elephant and Castle, London

“Real, truthful, intelligent training. This class really puts your acting skills to the test and makes you work hard. It was one of the most useful classes I have ever been to. Brian Timoney has a great ability to read and understand an actor’s needs.”
Sarah-Jane Sherwood, Kent
“This teacher is brilliant. He offers a practical approach to acting using Method exercises as well as great advice on the industry and useful feedback on your work. It’s so refreshing to work with a teacher who is as good as he is. I found the class environment especially good; it’s supportive so you feel you can take risks in your work. What’s great about this course is that it really is suitable for any actor whether they’re a beginner or have been acting professionally for years. I recommend it!”
C. Lomas, Holloway, London
“The training provided at Brian’s Studio is an excellent tool no serious industry professional should let pass by. Not only does the course open your eyes to perhaps fresher ways to bring your talents alive, it also provides the basis for you to continually improve your skills with a series of exercises that can be performed at home, prior to an audition or wherever you fancy.If you’re willing to commit to the course and not hold back, the end rewards can only improve your acting skills.”
Mike Bates, Billericay, Essex
This class was truly perfect for a first acting experience. Brian creates a safe environment where beginners and professional actors alike attempt new approaches using the tools of the method. I was surprised to see how quickly what you learn in class is applicable and gives results that are beyond expectations. Brian also has the ability to pinpoint exactly where an actor may not be correctly focused and give him/her the tool necessary for an immediate result. I highly recommend this course, so much so that I have already signed up to the next workshop!’”
Mathilde Merlot, Paris
”I have worked as a professional actor now for a number of years and have been around the block a few times. I approached Brian Timoney for help. I felt that my zest for acting had started to diminish, and that frankly I had become ‘rusty’. Under Brian’s direction not only have I fallen head over heels in love with acting again, but I have been given a much needed ‘Booster injection’ in terms of my understanding, and approach to my work. The Method is now a practice that I intend to continue with, and with Brian’s help, pay closer attention to. I would recommend Brian’s classes to anyone wanting to understand what makes acting real, believable, and worthwhile.”
Robert Goodman, Maida Vale, London
Dear Brian, Thank you so much for a wonderful month.
I enjoyed this course immensely, and I have got so much out of it.
You are an honest, caring, passionate teacher and I’m very grateful.
Lots of love xx
Annabel Andrews, West Sussex
‘’You are pretty damn good atwhat you teach, and that is one thing that I think is quite rare today. In all honesty an excellent class, with a sound set of people and a great teacher.’’
Jamie Livingstone, Newcastle
‘’I would just like to thank you for your time, commitment and professionalism throughout the course. It was tough for me at times, but I got a tremendous amount from it, and enjoyed it. So, this is just a short email to express my appreciation for your dedication to the art, it certainly comes across in your teaching.’’
Andrew Hutton, Old Street, London
“Having never acted before, Brian’s course could not have been better. He knows the techniques inside out, he knows the industry back to front, he knows the work top to bottom. Also, he knows inspirational acting has the power to change people and most importantly, his motivation is to teach you all about it. Epic course, serve me up another portion.”
Robert Emmanuel, Whitechapel, London
”This course really allowed me to open up. I completely enjoyed all the lessons. I felt really free on stage and totally lost any self-consciousness I had. So, if you want to join this course, don’t think about it… it’s fantastic!”
Sandra Delgado, Barcelona
“Initially, I was unsure of what the ‘Method’ entailed. The processes involved caused my awareness of myself to gradually open like a flower responding to sunlight. The Method allows you to acknowledge your own truth and when the alchemy of truth and creativity merge something magical is created inside the actor and for those watching. The experience of acting using Method tools has left me wanting to learn and experience more of the same.”
Emma Collins, Enfield, Middlesex
”It was a truly great experience. I have learned so much about acting, as well as about myself”
Emek Ozer, Turkey
Hi Brian, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a great month. I really enjoyed it and felt that I have progressed since my first month with you in May. Thanks for creating a safe environment for me to develop as an actor. Thanks again for your time, observation, knowledge, skill, and encouragement.
Kathryn O’Neil, West Hampstead, London
“The one month Intensive is an amazing experience that really gets you in tune with yourself as an actor, by presenting it as the art form that it is. It taught me about the raw honest truth of performance and the discipline and will needed to convey it.”
Rafiq Richards, Forest Hill, London
”I have found the intensive course an excellent opportunity to develop my depth as an actor. It has helped identify some of my weaknesses and provided valuable tools to overcome them or in some cases turn them into strengths. I have also found it a safe and encouraging environment to express myself in, and hence progress in. On top of this, I have had the privilege of working with an honest teacher in Brian Timoney, who has nurtured and taught me many tools that work for me.”
Raphael Sowole, Deptford, London
”A very interesting class structure that gives you the opportunity to work as hard as you want. It has opened up the proverbial window of fresh air for me, and with every breath, I can feel that there’s more and more to be explored and developed within me, thanks to this class.”
Nuria Jana, Spain
“I have been a member for approximately six months. Throughout the six months, Brian Timoney’s classes challenged everything that I previously understood about acting and it has taken my acting to a whole new level. Brian is committed to the work of his students and offers constructive criticism, so that the work of his students is more honest and grounded. We are taught various exercises that allow us to tap into a deeper truth within ourselves and breathe life into the characters we play. I cannot imagine any other way for a gradual but effective way to get a beginner started on a road to success. I highly recommend Brian’s classes to those who are looking for skills that will set them apart from all other actors and are serious about acting as a career.”
Katrina Kang, Marylebone, London
“With any good drama class you need a teacher that is honest and focused to get the best acting out of you. This is the first time in a long time I have really acted in this sort of environment. The classes are small so you get a lot of individual attention as well as valuable group work. I would recommend this to anyone with a passion for acting and wanting to find a little bit more about themselves, but be prepared to step over some boundaries!”
Mateusz Lilpop, Hoxton, London
“The studio has given me exactly what I need in an acting course. There is a great atmosphere in the classes and more importantly I feel safe to experiment and in turn this allows me to be more creative and imaginative in my acting. I feel that because Brian is a working actor himself, he is sensitive and up to date to the students needs. Brian is helping me to overcome my personal obstacles as an actor and I am enjoying my continued progression within the class.”
Elke Ryan, Sydney, Australia
“I find this class essential for a clear understanding of how to access this technique called “Method acting”. It has also allowed me toinitiate a much deeper connection with myself as well as with the characters I play.”
Luca Zizzari, Italy
“Brian’s teaching of ‘the Method’ has made me realise that my acting needs to be 100% believable and I’ve benefited from his coaching and honest feedback to my work. He has created a professional learning environment and with a limited number of students to each class we all get our own time and space to perform.
Leon Coleman, Herfordshire
Using ‘the method’ has transformed my approach to acting and the standard of my work. I feel free in myself, and really alive when working. The Method has also shown me how to stimulate a high level of belief in what I am doing on stage.”
Roberta Howett, Dublin |
