Testimonials

I am playing Ray Winstone's daughter in his next film and I could not have succeeded without the LAW course and the advice and help I received... thank you!

Lana Davidson



I found the course to be very well organised and structured, and covered all aspects of the acting profession, both performing and the business side.

Colin McLeod



Since taking the LAW course I have enrolled on the MA in Theatre & Performance Studies course at Rose Bruford College of Performing Arts, been accepted onto Spotlight, am staging an exhibition on the work of Constantin Stanislavski at the National Theatre in April 2008, have been given roles in two films, a play and a pantomime, and in the latter won a South London Theatre Oscar.

"I took this course on the recommendation of a friend, who had previously done it herself, and also because of the variety it afforded me. Every week was a challenge and great fun - a lot of the classes were camera-focused which was incredibly useful considering the work you are up for these days and I came away with solid tips and more self-confidence which I have since applied to castings, auditions and other workshops."
