Why Train With Both Feet

"This is the absolute best training I've ever done and I can't recommend it highly enough”

~ Chloe Massey, Cambridge and LAMDA graduate, actor, voice over artist, writer

12 reasons to train with Both Feet

First and foremost, we are invested in you. Our priority is guiding you safely through a technique which really works, and which enables you to be healthy, happy actors who directors love to work with.
We use exercises based upon Meisner’s teachings to unlock your potential as an actor, but our classes are about much more than just learning the exercises.
Our training provides you with practical tools that you can translate to any acting job and you'll find that the technique lies comfortably with most other training you might have done - and will almost certainly enhance it.
We don’t believe in ‘breaking you down’. Of course we will challenge you to be the best actor you can be, but in a safe, supportive environment where you can play, take risks and learn to trust yourself.
We are one of the only companies in the North of England that teaches the Meisner technique (albeit our version of!). We believe in our work 100% and we are so proud that so many of our students credit us for many of their successes in industry.
We know the importance of conscientious and cohesive training which is why we don't just bring in industry experts such as casting directors, voice and movement specialists, film makers, directors and other practitioners, we also work alongside them.
We run small classes (8-10 students). This means you receive individualised feedback every time you train with us, as well as lots of time to work on your feet - the best way to learn: watching and doing.
We've been where you are and we know that every penny counts when you’re investing in training - that’s why most of our regular group training costs approx £5 an hour.
The training room and the job should be intertwined. So, got an audition coming up? Bring your audition piece to class and have a play! We will help you to build confidence, trust in your decisions and calm pre-audition nerves.
Because we're invested in you we have teamed up with Shift Focus Photography & Video to provide high quality headshots and showreels with you at the heart of the process.
If you're training with Both Feet you're eligible to work with Steph on her Free Writing for New Pathways programme, specially designed for actors wanting to make changes to their thought patterns in their every day life.

Not only do we offer face to face training, we also run a variety of quality courses online on a #PayWhatYouCan basis so you can train with us no matter where you are or what your circumstances are.

If you’re committed to your craft and want to find greater authenticity, depth and emotional truth in your acting, we would love to hear from you.
