There are actors out there who seamlessly go from invitation to invitation to audition (and landing gigs).
And then there are actors who continuously struggle to move beyond student films and who question their worth as actors.

Does the actor who gets the consistent callbacks have…

More luck than other actors? No!
More talent than other actors? No!
More passion for acting? No!
The right background? NO!
The right look? NO!!
Less rejection? NO!!


You need two things: Talent…

And…

The BUSINESS of acting.

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.

A-Listers have already paved the way for you.

All you need to do is rinse and repeat the processes they’ve already established.
There are actors who get told NO, more than the average actor and yet they get the most doors opened for them. Because they think and act like a business. They have a clear vision and are guided by this. Those who struggle, let acting be their hobby!!

I can already hear you!!

“Yeah, but they don’t have ten ton of commitments in their personal life”

They sure do!!

But they do things differently.

They get organised, they make life work around their acting, they get clear on what they want from an acting career and they make sure they take all of the right business of acting action in line with their vision (something we cover in this training). 



Take Luke. 



Luke comes from a family who didn’t support his acting dreams. In fact, when he first decided to start pursuing acting professionally, his family thought it was a “phase” he was going through, they tried to find him other careers to look into and weren’t happy when he was made redundant from his well-paying day job, found himself skint and on the dole, and was spending what little money he did have on acting classes in another city. 



Luke came to StandBy dejected, with no real direction in life and no sense of self-worth. 



He knew he’d always had a secret love for acting, so decided to train at StandBy. 



But what made him different?

 

He threw himself into every acting exercise, constantly asked for feedback, and always had questions for me about the business of acting. 



Come rain or shine, broke with his back against the wall and only a splash of petrol left in his tank, his parents giving him grief about acting, it didn’t matter, he was at every single class and badgered me to teach him what I knew about the business. 

 

In 11 years of training him, he’s only ever had 3 classes off – 1 due to illness and two due filming. This is the commitment it takes to both your talent and the business, which I know you have in you. 



I could see Luke was hungry for more, so I created the Business of Acting Bootcamp. And although he’d got to a place where he now had a reputable agent, had won an award for his acting and had transitioned to paid only independent films, he lapped it up because he was aching for the next step. 



Luke was the first student online, he engaged with all of the business of acting lessons, and he got even clearer on what it was he wanted to achieve with acting. 



The fire had been lit, and the flames were not going out. 



The business of acting bootcamp changed my acting career for the better. It got me clearer, more focused and above all it helped me shift from solely doing independent and unpaid work, to now being considered for and cast in TV productions, without it I’d feel like I was stagnating and might have even quit by now”. 



Luke’s attitude, his thirst to learn about the industry and hunger to improve his acting brand quickly earned him a reputation as a pro-active, hard-working, driven actor. 

 

And he was scouted by top UK agent Narrow Road, who approached HIM for a meeting. He didn’t have TV work on his CV, he just put to use all of the tools and exercises he learnt in The Business of Acting Bootcamp that made his brand more sellable. 



And now he’s landed his first ever Netflix job. 



And this can be you too!





Say yes to creating your dreams of success on the stage and the screen by mastering THE method that the Oscar-Award winning actors swear by.

YOU TOO CAN COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND STEP INTO BIG TV PRODUCTIONS JUST LIKE LUKE!

In the business of acting bootcamp you will:

The Business of Acting Bootcamp is not just about you getting more auditions and a couple more acting jobs.

You have a calling to act!!! It’s about you learning how to replace your current income with pay from acting jobs so you can live your life’s purpose and inspire others to do the same. And when they’re inspired… the world becomes a much more positive place.

MEET YOUR COACH!

For the last 12 years, I’ve been on a mission to take students from the shadows of their dreams to Netflix, the BBC, the most prestigious regional theatres and to their first and next well-respected acting agents. 

 

Because I am hellbent on turning all aspiring actors into Unstoppable Actors, and that includes you!



I started acting aged 14, and after a good run of paid acting jobs in both Theatre and Film, working with some of the most recognised actors in the UK I decided to take a break. 

 

I focused solely on coaching other actors and passing on my experience and knowledge to help them land the roles of their dreams. 



Recently the call to act grew stronger and stronger and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. 

 

So I dusted off my casting profiles and sat back down to re-arm myself with the knowledge I pass onto students through the business of acting bootcamp. Yes, I took my own course and became my own student. 

 

And because of that I landed a brand new agent and have been called in to countless auditions and I’m close to closing the deal on my first ever TV job, which has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. 



So if works for my acting students and it works for me, it will work for you too!
