An INCREDIBLE and INVALUABLE workshop

Myself and a friend won a one hour session with a TV director on Instagram. From start to finish Directly Actors were brilliant. Fantastic communication, they sent brilliant scripts to choose from and an amazing choice of directors to work with. Our session with the wonderful TV director was FANTASTIC! And we went over time and there was no pressure to rush the session. After the session they emailed with a really detailed email about the session and points that were discussed. What an absolutely brilliant workshop and would recommend it to everyone!

Excellent! Would def do again!

Thoroughly enjoyed my session with Vicki Kisner. It was great to get to the nitty gritty of the text and explore it a bit more with slightly different angles. Would highly recommend. So nice to be working with a tv director again and exercise the acting chops. Would def do again!!!

Acting Workshops how they should be done!

Had several one on one director sessions now and each one has given me a chance to practice my craft and have a sense of being in the room with a director.

As actors we don't have the luxury anymore of many in person castings and it is such a shame as directors need to know you can take direction and also are just a general nice person to have about on set.

What Directly Sessions do is get the opportunity to work with top directors, practice taking direction and have that human connection again from you just you and your camera.

Thanks to Johnny and Fiona for setting this up and to all the directors I have had the pleasure of having sessions with.

One-to-one with Emma Lindley

I had an amazing and inspiring one-to-one session with Director Emma Lindley on how to direct actors. It was incredibly valuable for someone starting out in the film industry. I also had the opportunity to direct two actors and receive feedback on my direction, which was really helpful.

Hugely valuable learning experience

My 18 year old daughter had a 1-1 session with Sean recently and was over the moon with it. It's so easy to feel like you're running in sand in this business but this session massively lifted her spirits and got her back on track. She had incredible feedback and feels confident again - she has booked another session. A brilliant company connecting actors with directors. Love it!

Brilliant session with Judith Dine

My son had a session today with Judith who massively helped him with a part of his acting that he was needing assistance on. She was absolutely super and I think this will be a big turning point for his acting. Would so recommend and we will be booking further sessions. Having Johnny reading in as a proper actor meant Judith could focus on my son and really hone in on what needed help. A truly brilliant session

Alex did such a good job! He's a talented young man. Really appreciate the great review thanks.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Every actor needs this!

My 1 - 1 session today with Judith was fantastic and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough! For any actor - whether aspiring or seasoned, we must never stop learning & practicing our craft in order to grow & progress. Opportunities like this are seldom, so to be given a chance to explore new ideas and take on new challenges under the guidance of a top industry professional, it was hugely beneficial.
Thank you so much to Johnny from Directly Actors for his superb reading in for the other characters, (not to mention his flawless accents!) and to Judith
Dine for the great support, advice and invaluable lessons learnt from our meeting. I will definitely be booking again!

Brilliant Experience

I had a brilliant experience in the 1-1 with Judith. Being able to explore the script and understand a characters journey with Judith’s direction was amazing. The Directly Team were fantastic throughout.

1-1 with Alex Browning

It was such a great session with Alex, I got so much out of it. I really appreciated how flexible he was in answering my questions and giving detailed feedback on the scene. It was a valuable opportunity to learn directly from a director off set and to gain practical insights into the industry from a director’s perspective. Thank you!

Fantastic Experience.

Had a wonderful workshop this evening with Debbie. From playing around with direction in scenes to figuring out how I can make my spotlight more appealing. I found the session incredibly valuable. Already looking forward to my next workshop!
Thanks Fiona and the team for all the help!
