We get literally hundreds bordering on a thousand of wanabe's every month who all think they have what it takes to be the next great actor or actress's and that we should be grateful that they have crossed our path. The reality is very much like the people you see on pop idol or x-factor - they have NO talent at all! We have to weed those people out somehow and that is one of the methods we use. I should point out that we do from time to time, again a bit like pop idol or x-factor, find rough diamonds that we poloish and who then go on to do all sorts of great stuff. Given the ability of the internet to span the world we are now trialing training over the internet.
If you have a CV that proves you have experience you won't pay anything because you won't need to. If on the other hand your CV is empty why should we take you on? We started out many years ago training people for Film and TV work and still do as a separate business. The value of that training is immense - a young girl we trained for a number of years got a part in the new Warner Brothers film "Mrs Ratcliffes Revolution" last year and has now landed an ongoing part in Coronation Street a British soap. I think the standard of our training speaks for it's self, thats why it's not free.
If you are truly serious about a future in acting you will be prepared to do anything!
