By working with Louise in group classes and 1-1 sessions for over two years now, I only have praise for the way she nurtures and cares about your talent. Louise pushes and teaches you in a way you to learn to think for yourself as an actor, never telling you how to perform but instead finding ways to help you unlock sides of your talent you hadn’t yet discovered. She had guided and helped me prepare for some of my toughest performances, and the skills she has passed on to me are ones I believe I will use throughout my whole career. StandBy is acting’s hidden gem.

When I first came to Standby I was very frustrated and nearly gave up on my career, but after meeting with Louise and training with her, I found my confidence; she helped to discover my gifts as an actress. The training has been superb, this enabled me to get an agent and get cast in two shorts films. I have learnt so much from StandBy and the support system is amazing I cannot fault it at all! Love it.

If anyone in Sheffield or London has dreams of getting into film or theatre, StandBy gets my vote as the best place to start.

I highly recommend StandBy! Louise is professional, empathetic, encouraging and there’s nothing she doesn’t know about Method Acting… Not to mention one of the best actresses I have ever met. I studied acting at The Lee Strasberg Film and Theatre Institute in New York and Louise is as good as any of the teachers there. I travel up from London and I always walk away inspired, motivated and very very satisfied.

Since training with StandBy I have gone on to land paid work on a regular basis, join spotlight, land an agent, work all over the country and meet the top casting directors in the industry. It is great training at StandBy learning a technique that the best actors ever have used and to be able to express a story in the most authentic way.
