Dear Actors,

This is a highly intensive, week-long programme for those who have trained professionally and are looking to take their career and acting to the next level.

As well as covering traditional Method approaches, it also incorporates a new system developed by Brian to rapidly create deep, truthful acting and to remove any blocks in your thinking that may be holding you back.

Brian has spent months working on this and we can assure you it will blow your mind and change your acting forever.

This is an intensive immersion process. As the new tools are delivered to you during the week, you also go through a conditioning process. We don’t just want you to pick up the tools, leave and forget about them. We want to condition them into you so they become second nature. Also, we want to replace any negative or debilitating habits with this new empowering way of working.

You work through the new process as well as incorporating Method tools and apply these to character creation and scene work. The process also has a dual capacity: Not only does it allow you to unlock characters, but it will also allow you to unlock YOU.

There will also be a specific session on the business of acting where we discuss tools and techniques to get your career to the next level.

Here is what we promise you:

You and your acting will experience a powerful shift that will mean that things will never be the same… in a good way.

If you are looking to break through and take your ability and career to the next level, then I can assure you there is no quicker or more profound way to do it.

Here is our personal guarantee:

If after the first day you don’t believe all of the above to be true, then we will refund your fee in full, no quibbles or hard feelings. That is how sure we are about this programme.

You will be working with a group of other ambitious likeminded experienced actors. There will be a combination of exercise work and application of the technique in scene work.

As you know, we specialise in Method Acting – but this is not just Method Acting. It is an extension to this type of work that delivers deep, truthful acting rapidly.

So, won’t you join us for what will be a roller coaster, full-on immersion experience that will change everything?

There is an application process for places on the programme and we do not accept everyone.

WARNING: Who is this course for?

This is a very advanced course. It is for professional, positive, optomistic actors who are open to learning ONLY.

Brian worked with Melinda Messenger, Jasman Harman, Mark Griffin and Kelle Marie Walters on a special intensive method acting boot camp. Watch the video above to hear their oustanding feedback!

A Bit About Brian And The Studio

About Brian

Brian Timoney

Brian Timoney

Brian Timoney is one of the world’s leading method acting coaches with experience in both London and Hollywood, operating right in the heart of the entire industry.

Brian has worked in the industry for over 20 years and in every major acting medium conceivable, including TV, Film, Radio and Theatre. He has worked as an actor, director, producer and acting coach and has first-hand experience of every part of the industry and how to create stand- out performances.

Brian has worked with leading UK film directors Ken Loach and Danny Boyle and has appeared on the BBC2 programme ‘Murder Most Famous‘ teaching TV Actors; Sherrie Hewson (Coronation Street/ Emmerdale) and Angela Griffin (Coronation Street/ Holby City) Method Acting techniques.

Nowadays, Brian regularly appears in the media, being asked for his comments on various acting news, including the Oscars. He has appeared in The Metro, The Stage, The Evening Standard, The Sunday Express and MovieScope magazine.

He is confident and articulate in manner with a high level of enthusiasm for the work. Brian understands the uniqueness of each actor’s abilities and challenges, and genuinely seeks to bring out their full potential.

Here are what students said about working with Brian on another one week course he did.

Student Feedback on Courses at Brian’s Studio

“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

“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

About The Studio

Brian Timoney and Leading Casting Director, Dan Hubbard and Students.

What We Do

We take an in-depth approach. We don’t just direct you on how to superficially deliver lines and move on stage, but we seek to develop your inner talent.

We steer you away from imitating emotions and feelings, and focus on allowing you to have real experiences on stage or set – bringing substantial depth and believability to your work.

What We Expect of You

Only one thing – The Right Attitude. It may seem a simple request, but we have found that the right attitude alone can move mountains.

How We Work

We take a personal and individual approach to teaching. You don’t just become one of the numbers in class; we take a personal interest in your development as an actor. Every actor is unique, after all, and brings their own personal make up to acting, which we seek to understand. We then provide approaches to enhance your strengths and overcome your acting blocks.

What We Provide

We provide an in-depth and comprehensive acting facility offering professional courses for those serious about entering the profession.

We also provide vital information to help you grow your ability and advance your acting career.

What Makes Us Different

As professional actors ourselves, we know our way around the industry. This means that we understand the needs and objectives of our students.

This understanding, together with our acting expertise and appreciation of what makes ‘outstanding’ acting, enables us to provide teaching that is both artistically fulfilling and industry aware.

What Makes Us Better

Our experience: Brian and his Specialist Coaches have extensive experience within the industry and are expert Method Acting coaches. Their combined experience covers working in high-profile feature Films, TV and Theatre projects with prominent directors and actors.

Our creativity: Enabling an actor to use their own personal emotion to fuse with their character to bring greater depth. Guiding an actor through the Animal Exercise to create alternative character physicality. Explaining the principle of ‘Speaking Out’ in a scene to your fellow actor. Using parallel experiences to uncover the needs of a character.

All of which are some of the creative approaches we use to unleash the actors’ potential.
