After all the years of being a sounding board as your child spouted off line after line from characters they’ve just fallen in love with from a movie, and listening to countless loops of Youtube acting training, it has become very clear that… This is not a phase.

And now, it’s time to get serious because you want to give your child the support they need to actually turn this passion into a career that ignites them and drives them to do more and to be better. 

 

Until a few years ago, parents like you would have to endure the crushing fees of drama school to help give their aspiring actor children the advantages they needed to succeed in the brutal industry. 

 

But now there is a better way.

 

A way that offers you even better results than drama school, a roadmap of the industry, and the exposure they need to the tools that will help pull that greatness that you see in them, out. 

 

This is a curated space that is specially crafted to serve your child’s acting needs as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

 

This space offers support way beyond the acting studio. 

 

And children going through these classes are getting callbacks and being requested by directors – without even auditioning first, in some cases.

“Before starting my training at StandBy, I was a generic actress. I gave unconfident performances and I had no connection to my characters. Louise turned this all around. I have been training with StandBy for a few years now, and my talent has never been more fuelled and nurtured. I am surrounded by talented, motivated people, and Louise is so supportive and caring. I can't recommend her training enough! ”

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.

That’s because the Standby Method Acting Studio and its Artistic Director, Louise O’Leary, have established a method of teaching the Method so that aspiring actors, like your child, avoid the pitfalls like:

  • Trying to memorise every single line, then forgetting them when they get on stage or set
  • Mindlessly acting without soul or truly connecting to the character
  • Focusing on the audience, instead of who they are to become when on stage

Louise’s approach to teaching the Method is to get involved.

Giving your kids the best means giving them the foundation they deserve. Giving them the best means giving them a place where their confidence and abilities are nurtured and your fees are kept within reason.  

 

And 97% of students who start an initial 10-week course decide to move on to the next after having passed.

For only £300, your child will receive 24 hours of practical hands on teaching and the extra support away from the studio, and their weekly Saturday morning classes to help them evolve from aspiring actors to actors who are getting callbacks, rave reviews, and getting paid for work they adore. 

 

They’ll also receive access to our private Facebook group to help them stay motivated and inspired, as well as having a resource to get questions answered in between classes.

WHY LOUISE & STANDBY METHOD ACTING STUDIO?

Outside of being the Artistic Director of the StandBy Method Acting Studio, I’ve also been working as a paid method actor since I was 21 and it was when I realised the real need for method actors that I knew I had to create a space where aspiring actors could come train for a fraction of the fees that drama schools charge. But it couldn’t just be “more affordable”, I have vowed to make it more effective.

I’m Louise. And your child’s career is in great hands.
