Joining The Actors Workshop has been one of the best things I’ve ever done. Everyone is incredibly welcoming, friendly and supportive and Tim is a great teacher who encourages, guides and helps you develop with confidence. The weekly classes are brilliant and there’s always something to take part in like Screen School, showreel, writing classes and voice over workshops. I had never done any acting but always wanted to and The Actors Workshop couldn’t of been a better place to start! I’ve fallen in love with acting and I’m enjoying being me. Definitely 5 stars ⭐️

The best group of people to be around if your thinking of acting. Tim is a great Teacher is helps you with everything you need to go out there and have a go at acting. Classes cover, showreels, voiceover work, audition skills and mainly confidence building. I highly recommend joining, you’ll not regret it.

The Actors Workshop Nottingham what a superb place to go for any adult of any age wanting to have a go at acting, you will learn so much and there are plenty of opportunities to do things like show reels, voice over, scene study etc., I joined after retirement one of the best things I did, your never to old to have fun. TAW The Place to be.

What a place!
Excellent tuition from industry savvy experienced actors, a really supportive environment, endless resources, networking possibilities... The list of positives just goes on and on!
I've been with AW for nearly 18months now - I joined looking for acting coaching, which there is in spades, but the classes and exercises encourage your personal growth too.
The Actors Workshop Nottingham represents brilliant value for money, the (very reasonable) cost per month is so far outweighed by the benefits, it's a net gain.
AW gets 5 stars for sure!

The Actors Workshop Nottingham has been a constant source of support and development for me since I joined in 2018. Tim (Bryn Smith) is an exceptional director, teacher, and actor. Being able to go to class and create, play and explore with friends who are skilled in a multitude of areas (not just acting) is fantastic. Tim has noticed my strengths, as well as the areas I need to improve, and pushed me to realise my true potential. This, combined with the constant support and generosity of my friends at the workshop, I feel capable of far more than I did 3 years ago. I can't recommend the workshop enough.

I joined the Actors Workshop just under a month ago and I'm really happy that I did. Tim is a brilliant teacher and I've learnt a lot already in the short time I've been a member. Acting class is definitely one of the highlights of my week.

Forty years after my father said an emphatic 'NO' to Drama School, I joined TAW and have enjoyed ten months of superb training and coaching. Realizing I'm more theatrical than suited to TV and Film led me to the voice-over workshop. Now I have MP3 files for potential casting, as well as a lifetime of Audio Books waiting to be recorded!
C. D.
I absolutely loved being a part of the Actors Workshop Nottingham. Tim is an amazing tutor with a wealth of knowledge. I felt welcomed and made to feel part of the group from day one. The members are friendly and helpful. We were able to learn new skills and explore them in a safe space. I grew in confidence as an actor and as a person. This was definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done.
N. G.
Some might say that serious actor training ended when I left London. The Actors Workshop Notts is an oasis of creativity and fun. Little by little I see class mates confidence grow each week. Tim's energy and engaging teaching is a force of nature, I certainly recommend and to go along and say hello.
L. M.
The Actors Workshop has been the best decision I have ever made. After going through a breakup 2 months before I joined, it has definitely been a place for me to not only grow as a actress and as a person, but to also laugh again and not take myself too seriously. I have also grown in confidence and taken risk without shying away, as before I couldn't express myself without being judged, but now I can trust my instinct and perform to the best of my ability without people judging me. I have learnt so much this past year and with a previous event I attended linking to this amazing company, I can honestly look you in the eye and tell you "I'm happy", and even though I had moments in my life which were positive, this company made me the happiest I've ever been. Thank you Tim for helping me grow, develop and helping me come out of my shell.

The actors workshop Nottingham, has really helped me with my confidence since joining in May last year. Not only have I learned so much about acting, but also so much more about myself in the process. This has helped me in in many other aspects of my life, and helped me be a more rounded person. Not to mention I have met some great people along the way! It has also provided me with some great opportunities, including a Q&A session
with my personal hero and film maker Shane Meadows along with many other people who are involved in the industry professionally. Overall, I would recommend the actors workshop Nottingham to anyone!
G. B.
I've been with AW for a few years now and I'm extremely glad I found it as there was/is a lack of classes out there for adults wanting to train regularly. It's helped me realise that drama school is not the only route into the acting industry and opportunities will come if you're willing to put the graft in! There is an excellent variety of practical + theory work and Screen School was a huge highlight of my 2020. I had my first experience of corporate filming a few weeks ago thanks to the casting opportunities which become available to those in the workshop. Tim is a highly motivated teacher and very approachable. Thank you AW for the experience so far and for also helping with my confidence. Long may it continue.

The Actors Workshop Nottingham was a welcoming and fun way of getting back into acting. Classes were always safe, supportive, innovative and tailored to the individual.
Since moving away from Nottingham the Actors Workshop (and particularly Tim), have continued to support in my acting journey. If I ever need anything from the Nottingham acting community, I know I can rely on them. Hugely recommend.
D. M.
I joined just over a year ago to challenge myself to do something I've always wanted to do but had always lacked the confidence to try. What I found was an incredible group of supportive and creative people and a completely safe environment in which to learn. The classes are always so much fun and I have learnt so many skills that are excellent for improving your performance but are also great for making you better at life as well. The result is that my confidence has grown, I've done a couple of professional jobs, had a couple of great show reel scenes produced at Screen School and have met some thoroughly lovely people in the process.
C. A.
My experiences with the Actors Workshop Nottingham have been nothing but positive.
The classes have really helped push me out of my comfort zone and improved my confidence in both acting and day-to-day interactions.
Furthermore, Tim is always happy to lend a helpful ear to any questions you have and is flexible to people's individual situations.
J. M.
The Actors Workshop Nottingham is fantastic place for actors of all levels. They combine a high level of training with years of actual industry experience. They are also very active in the local creative industries, which provide opportunities to their members!
The best group to be a part of!
B. H.
I've been coming along for a couple.of months now and I can tell you, I love it!
I'm just starting to get to know the guys and to feel confident in my ability. I feel like I can now openly share ideas with the group when doing sessions and the sessions help in my confidence generally which i did not expect. I try to take in all hints and tips, and this is a great place to learn and harness the craft.
Its a great starting base for actors new to the acting role, and the additional workshops, where there are guest speakers present like casting directors ect really helps and inspires you.
I've always wanted to get into acting, and although I've only done stage work with a community theatre group, I quickly felt comfortable.
I recommend this to anyone wishing to learn more or begin acting.
I’m getting braver now showing people “the real me” :) thanks to the actors workshop
M. L.
The Nottingham actors workshop is an ideal workshop for beginners or seasoned actors. The evening classes are perfect for me and others as it allows me to follow my dream of acting as well as holding down a regular job! The classes are varied, fun and full of energy. Tim is very friendly, professional and approachable. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to get a taste of acting or brush up on their skills!
C. D.
The Actors Workshop is awesome. So nice to be among like-minded people sharing my passion.
The workshops are focused towards learning and developing skills in all areas of acting and they are catered to all experience levels. If you want to develop then the opportunities are there to be embraced. All the members I have met here have been really supportive and whoever you end up working with on projects you can't go wrong.
The workshops are delivered by a knowledgeable and experienced team and they are all very approachable.
Hope you can join us!
J. J.
Amazing people, amazing fun and great place to be. Whether you are actor or just want to work on public speaking, gain some confidence or make life more fun - this is the place. Tim and the Team are there to help! I think joining TAWN is one of the best things I have done for myself in recent years and I really enjoy being part of it.
R. G.
After attending my first taster session on the 10th July 2018, I haven't looked back since. I love attending these sessions every Monday. If I could, I would attend everyday! I have made some great friends and already have noticed a boost in my confidence. I have always wanted to find my own hobby and this is perfect for me. Not only am I learning new acting skills, this group helps to boost my self-esteem. As a beginner in acting - I felt very welcomed and accepted by the group. I have already made some recommendations to friends, family and colleagues. I would strongly recommend attending a taster session as it really is a great workshop! Can't wait to see what the future brings for me with Actors Workshop Nottingham.
J. K.
Intellectually stimulating learning environment, and exceptionally welcoming and supportive to newcomers - both to the class itself, and acting in general. A valuable gateway to further opportunities within local acting circles / casting agency /TV work, etc. Highly recommended!
V. B.
I have absolutely loved attending the actors workshop on a Wednesday evening. I had been drama school trained but out of circulation for many years bringing up my children alone. Tim helped me regain my confidence, think on my feet, disperse anxiety and perform with subtlety and believability. With lots of amazing theatre games, improv and scene work, the actors workshop really gives you the tools you need to be a great actor. I highly recommend attending the classes.. And the many workshops Tim provides outside of normal classes, such as meditation for actors and PEM technique.
S. A.
Another brilliant extra workshop on voice overs. Really informative, practical and interesting. Got a bit of practising to do but now in the right direction.
Just been to the special Industry 101 workshop, an essential reality check! Honest advice to equip you for right direction with your acting career, great afternoon, thanks Tim.
I've been a member since September 2014 and have found it essential to the development of my skills. Now that we meet weekly it really has become a really solid course. The workshop leaders are all working actors and directors, the students are a great bunch too. Such a variety of ages, backgrounds and styles but all working together well. There's links to the film industry and casting opportunities too. Brilliant.
R. G. S.
Before doing the actors workshop's screen school in the September just gone I knew hardly a thing about working to camera. Coming away from it I actually know what I'm doing and as drama school auditions are all self tapes I don't think I could do as well as I I'm without the workshop. Couldn't recommend enough.
A. H.
The Actors Workshop Nottingham is a vital resource for any actor based in the East Midlands.
Workshops are all industry relevant and give practical advice and usable content (already I have a pair of voice over samples and a short scene for a show reel and I have only been a member for a month!).
Tim makes the sessions fun and challenging and has a wealth of knowledge about the industry that he is more than willing to impart.
Regardless of wether you are an amateur, novice, just out of drama school or seasoned professional (like me) these workshops will keep you on your game.
The group is wonderful too. Friendly, willing to work and from a diverse array of backgrounds and experiences there is always something to learn or try out.
Tim provides such a wonderful service to the actors of this area and for the price of membership you get so much more than the other workshops that I have been part of whilst based in London.
Our East Midlands acting community is all the more strong for places like The Actors Workshop Nottingham and people like Tim Bryn-Smith.
One question...
If you are an actor in the East Mids and you are NOT a member...
...Why?
S. M.
The Actors Workshop has been a fantastic place to reignite my interest in acting. Tim and his team work really hard each week to deliver a fresh,fun class that you leave feeling like you've made real development. The class attracts such a diverse group of people from all ages and walks of life, but it works so well and everyone is so supportive of each other that it makes for a safe environment to push your self past your comfort zone and become a little better every week.
D. H.
The actors workshop in Nottingham is perfect for any goal, whether you're looking to become a professional actor or looking to improve confidence.
I attended the Monday evening slot, learnt a great deal about myself and made some amazing friends. Tim also regularly puts on additional specialized classes and they host many acting events.
Work is keeping me away, but I hope to return soon.

I recently attended Tim Bryn Smith's specialist workshop 'Acting Industry 101'. It was informative and inspiring and gave me some solid practical ideas on how to progress within the acting industry. It was also an enjoyable and entertaining 3 hours!
The Actors Workshop: Acting classes for adults without selling your home, kidney, mother to attend drama school. I’ve been going to classes regularly for over a year and a half. For adults, like me, with jobs and responsibilities, it’s perfect! I can undergo great training weekly without risking my home and general security. You get the best of both worlds. Or you could give up your job and go to drama school for £9000 a year! Having had a taste of a full-time drama education I believe the training at the actors workshop is better. It’s aimed at screen acting and feels… relevant. This is how actors train in the US and it’s happening right here, in Nottingham. I can’t believe my luck. For the first time in my life I feel like I’m in the right place at the right time!
I like the egalitarian nature of the Actors Workshop. It gives everyone a chance. You don’t need a certain background. Everyone from seasoned theatre veteran to absolute beginner gets an opportunity. It makes it much more exciting. It’s a vibrant melting pot of ideas and talent. All ages from 18 to retired attend.
It also suits different aims and ambitions: I know someone who attends purely for confidence-building but many others star in short films regularly via contacts made through the Actors Workshop.
Oh, and perhaps I should mention that it’s fun and I have a blast!
e. f.
I joined Actors Workshop in March and have not only had some nice jobs because of it, even after many, many years in the Business, I have learnt much. It is great to work with fellow actors of all ages and experience and to have fun as well as learning new things. If you are an old Ham like me or an enthusiastic new talent with a passion to act join Nottingham Actors Workshop . You're worth it.
J. K.
A safe and secure environment in which to develop your acting skills. A place to meet amazing and wonderful people from all walks of life with every different experience you could imagine. The Actors Workshop Nottingham is the highlight of my week, I look forward to the two creative hours every week. I am so glad I found Actors workshop and Tim Bryn Smith, I am learning again and gaining confidence in my acting... keep pushing me Tim.. I BLOODY LOVE ACTING!!
A. B.
I can't believe how much my confidence in all areas of life has developed since joining the Actors Workshop. I have learned so much and it is genuinely the highlight of my week. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, there is a place for you. Tim and the guest tutors are great and clearly know their stuff.
C. M.
Having never had a creative outlet before joining TAW, I was very nervous at first. Two years later it has become a very special place for me. The Wednesday night classes are a highlight of each week, and have even helped preserve sanity during both lockdowns. While I have missed a week here and there due to my degree studies, Tim is always understanding and you can be guaranteed to return to a class full of innovation and fun. My fellow actors are a joy and for someone that previously had the emotional range of a carpark, they have always been supportive while I've learned to tap into a deeply hidden well of authenticity.
I have nothing but good things to say about Tim and all those involved.
S. F.
I've returned to acting after a long absence. While my return might have been awkward and intimidating, I was welcomed into The AW and made to feel comfortable immediately. The people that attend are genuine and open with one another. There is no sense of competition, but rather an eagerness to grow as a collective. Tim is a passionate instructor that offers invaluable advice and direction. And he's honest which is what we we all want if we want to improve. This is incredible value for money. A safe space where we can gather each week in small groups to practice and receive expertise. Cannot begin to think what this would cost in London. Tim is giving actors the gift of accessibility. AND it's fun! Pure joy. Leave your stuff at the door and turn your phone off. In this space, you're going to discover freedom and practice thoughtful performance in this zany world apart.

I joined the Actors Workshop in January, to explore acting with others and to boost my confidence and blitz loneliness. Tim and the group are such good company and I am learning valuable skills and cant wait to meet up with my fellow actors in the brave new post covid world.
A. M.
Started attending the actors workshop about 3 months ago and absolutely love it. I have already learned so much and have gained so much confidence, each lesson is different and i always come away feeling like ive learned something new. The other members are welcoming, friendly and so helpful! There are a few different people who lead the workshops and all offer something different but equally important. I cannot recommend this place enough. I also recently attended the Acting 101 session that gave a full breakdown of how to start in the acting industy including advice on getting an agent, creating a showreel, branding yourself and so much more.
If you are at all interested in acting, do yourself a favour and give the actors workshop a try!
J.
The actors workshop is brilliant. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming from the start. Tim is very good and experienced in the art and helps to build your confidence. Definitely be going back.

Joining 'The Actors Workshop Nottingham' has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. The core trio of teachers are amazing and so much thought goes into each week and topic, it's an honour to be taught by them. Tim is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met, passionate, knowledgable, respectful and kind, you always feel safe in the workshops knowing youre in a good pair of hands.
The fellow members aren't just actors, there's producers, writers etc, you really feel wrapped up in the industry and the talent is outstanding. Best of all, a really genuine group of people who want you to do well and just be yourself, with some great acting thrown in there as well of course.
C. W.
Recently started participating in the actor's workshops and I have been very impressed by the level of dedication and personal interest the workshop leaders take in your craft and your goals as an actor. I have attended other workshops in London and in the United States and I can honestly say this workshop is one of my very favourites. I would recommend it to actors of all experience levels.
W. E.
The Actors Workshop Nottingham is fantastic for improving your acting ability, confidence and presence. Every session is illustrative and supportive for both newcomers and experienced actors! Highly recommended! Nottingham has produced a number of BAFTA winning actors over the years and I'm sure with the help of the Actors Workshop, it wont be long until more brilliant actors are appearing from this pool of talent.

UPDATE: Yesterday I attended a Beginners' Voiceover Workshop with industry professionals Tim Smith and Richard Comfort, and it was yet another positive and exciting experience. Although I only joined the Actors Workshop a few months ago, I have already had the opportunity to record showreel footage, during our filming project a couple of weeks ago, and now sample voiceover material - and these projects are always carried out in the most supportive environment. I am so glad I signed up!
I am still buzzing after attending yesterday's Acting Industry 101 with Tim Smith - this invaluable workshop was absolutely fascinating, and vital for those of us trying to navigate the industry from the ground up. Tim's material was incredibly well organised and structured, and he managed to strike a tone that was upbeat and positive, but also truthful and realistic. I am finding the weekly workshops inspiring and motivating, and I know that these are going to be absolutely integral to my journey, as I return to acting after several years in academia.
C. T.
This is a great workshop for improving your skills and even to just boost your confidence. Everyone is really welcoming and friendly. It's a great way to start if you are wanting to further your career in acting. I have learnt so much since joining this workshop.
I recently attended the Acting industry 101 with Tim Bryn smith which he did a breakdown of how to start out in the acting 'world'!! This was a very eye opening session as he didn't cut corners and went into detail with everything.I left with a headache!!! As there was so much to take on board.
So if you are looking for furthering your career in acting or just want to boost your confidence then the workshops are a great way to start.
M. T.
I love this group. I've been a member here for 1½ years and my class is the highlight of my week. It's a great place to improve your acting ability and meet others with similar aspirations. Above all it's always really friendly and welcoming group which means you feel encouraged rather than intimidated. 👌
A. J.
Amazing environment to work in. The Actors Workshop provides a platform and space like no other in the midlands, with opportunities to perform and work on the technical aspects of the craft. Accessible and beneficial at any level whether you’re just starting out or been acting for years. I’m just getting home from a Q and A with the amazing Shane Meadows! Buzzing!
A. E.
Excellent workshops at The Actors Workshop Nottingham. Always very proffesional with inspiring, creative tutors. This is excellent fun and I find the workshops give you the actor training that is hard to find any where else. Great for both new to the industry and experienced Actors. Fantastic.
N. B.
I recently Joined the Actors Workshop since moving to Nottingham from London and I can’t thank them enough for helping me find my love again for acting and also the contacts I have met through the Workshop. I have found it to be a welcoming and encouraging environment to learn and expand my skills.
A. T.
Have been going to workshop for a year now and what started as a bit of fun has recently lead to my first paid acting job ☺ The classes are varied and go into detail in a variety of techniques and styles. Being quite new to acting, the pace of the class matached where we were as a group and we were allowed time to feel comfortable working together before we were pushed to do anything too nerve wracking. Having said that, the atmosphere is one of great support and you are very much encouraged to step out of your comfort zone in a non judgemental space. We spent time looking at screen acting and even going through the process of a casting, reading a part to camera and watching it back for feedback. This was invaluable at my recent audition and allowed me to relax and concentrate on the acting rather than worrying about what was expected of me.Would recomend actors workshop to both beginners and experienced actors alike ☺
K. H.
I attended the beginners voiceover workshop last week and loved every minute of it. It's great that you get a couple of different voicereels to add to your online CV. Tim provided honest, much appreciated feedback and guided the group with confidence and professionalism. I'm hoping to attend future acting workshops as soon as my diary clears.

I joined The Actors Workshop November 2015. I am a professional Opera singer and have spent hundreds of hours singing and acting on stage but had always wanted to try my hand at straight acting. The only way I could have done this would have been by joining an amateur dramatic society or trying to sign up to a pro acting course. Neither of which I had the time for because of my work. I found out about the actors workshop via Twitter and couldn't believe my luck, I just hoped it was going to be the answer to my problem.
It certainly has been the answer, since joining I have learnt so many valuable skills in a supportive environment. My confidence has built every session and I now use the skills I am learning in my sing performing career ( an added bonus ) The teachers are excellent all actors themselves and full of enthusiasm and energy so there isn't a dull moment. It's the perfect place to start, especially if you have self doubts about your acting ability like myself. No one judges you and one is given the space and support to develop at your own speed. So what are you waiting for?
A. B.
I went here for about 6 years and l probably could have stopped after 2 or 3 but these workshops are so easy to fall in love with that it’s very hard to leave! Tim Bryn Smith gets to know everyone individually and can tailor critique to each person’s experience level, capabilities and help you unlock your potential as an actor.
If you give your all as much as you can, you will increase your confidence, expand your imagination and learn skills that will help you on and off the film set/stage.
Alongside guest tutors and one off masterclasses, this Workshop provides everything you could want and need from actor training. From Stanislavski and Meisner to stage combat, voiceover technique and accents you really do get your money’s worth! It also works as a fantastic networking opportunity as not only actors attend, but also filmmakers and writers and younger to hear about awesome networking events like The Film and TV tweet up!!
With the Workshops being held weekly, you are constantly training your acting muscles and you do create a super tight bond with everyone - so in no time at all, you’ll feel like one of the family!
If you’ve ever thought about a career in Acting or want a break from “the real world”, there really is only one place to be...HERE!!!
R. C.
Intriguing workshops where you are given freedom to experiment,grow & meet friendly creative people who are always happy to help.Casting & networking events too which are useful for those wishing to pursue acting as a career.
I also attended a voice over workshop today which was enjoyable and made me want to do more voiceover work in future.

I joined the nottingham actors workshop about 6 weeks ago. I must say this is best actors workshop out there, so informative and pratical for beginner and expierenced actors across nottingham. i also went to a one of 101 session which spoke about how to get in the industry and other topics. So truthful, and extremely informative. It made me change my whole mindset and makes you think realistically. Totally worth all the hard work people put in and a great chance to meet new people
L. M.
If you're looking to improve your acting skills or even to boost your confidence, then this is the place to come to! I've been coming to the workshop since the beginning of the year and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. You're learning, having fun and making friends while you're at it, what could be better than that? Definitely recommend it.
t. c. n.
Amazing professional training ground. Since leaving college and re-joining the Actors Workshop, it's really helped to build new skills, try new things which I have never been taught in college. A month of being back lead to two successful castings. But it's not just classes; with casting, optional add on's like headshots, workshops, showreel content and monthly networking opportunities, it offers fantastic incite into the industry. Highly recommend!
J. B.
An absolutely brilliant and professional workshop,I started 6months ago,iv not missed a class,it is the high light if my week.
I had no experience of acting and was only interested in doing extra work however after a few week of learning acting technics,role play and
Improvisation I was soon bit by the bug! I have been doing some extra work which came to me through the workshop and I have recently had headshots done ready to go onto the casting page!I am now on a journey that I once only dreamt about.i can't thank Tim and the other tutors enough and all the amazing other actors I have met along the way.
Thank you to all you lovely people for being helpful,encouraging and so supportive,
Thanks jo Barker
A. H.
I started in the Base class about five weeks ago and I've loved every session. Tim Bryn Smith and Tim Evans are both awesome and, despite my short time here so far, we've had some very unusual and unexpected (but thoroughly enjoyable) workshops. Teaching and learning at its best. Everyone treats everyone else like they've been friends for years and I look forward to it every week!
B. L.
The Actors Workshop provides a fantastic range of techniques and processes to add to your 'actors toolbox.' Tim is a brilliant teacher & director and whatever level you are at you will definitely get something out of these classes!
J. S.
When it comes to professional actor training, Actors Workshop Nottingham is the real deal. I'm based in the East Midlands and I want to continue my professional development. The Actors Workshop Nottingham gives me the opportunity to train and develop with like-minded creatives, to network, and to learn from some of the top practitioners in the industry.
e. a.
At the EM AW@N, No one judges! All. “isms” are not welcome and stay outside! High energy, enthusiasm and Tim exudes and delivers professionally with a glint of rekindling the child in you.
L. C.
Joining the actors workshop was the best decision its was full of fabulous people all wanting different things but the class covers so much it really is for anyone. This is a very welcoming and accepting place I cant wait to go back after lockdown.
L. B.
Great training in Nottingham, and the Midlands for actors who are just starting or experienced, lots of opportunities and great for building your confidence back up if you’ve been away from the business for a while, like me! Would recommend to anyone, great tutors and lots of support.
C. K.
I started this group with a dream and hopes to change my life. I had little knowledge of the acting world. One year on and I'm more confident and I have been successful in getting castings. I've met so many great people and learnt so much in such a small time. The teachers are amazing and really know how to get you to push yourself and realise things about yourself even you didnt know. Thank you Actors workshop.
C. R.
I highly recommend the actors workshop and would recommend coming down if you just feel like something different to do with your time even if you don't want a carrier in acting. It's a grate place to learn skills that can help in whatever situations presented in life. Everyone is alway kind and welcoming, there is never a unhappy face.
J. B.
Great safe environment to develop and learn new skills. The tutors & fellow members are so supportive, it's great for building your confidence, but above all its great fun. Recently attended my second specialist workshop on voiceovers, great course and great value.
S. F.
I attend the workshops and also attended an actors 101 talk. They’re great at welcoming new members and really make you feel relaxed. Workshops are fun and helpful as well as being jam-packed into 2 hours.

Just participated in a PEM (Perdekamp Emotional Method) workshop organised by the Actors' Workshop Nottingham. What an interesting, informative and amazing experience. I learned so much about accessing emotions without having to have a strong memory trigger for that emotion. It is a truly powerful tool, so useful for all actors, but I would imagine especially useful for younger actors with less life experience to draw upon. This was really just an introduction, I hope I will be able to explore this method more in the future. Roll on the next workshop!
N. B.
I attended the 101 workshop yesterday (20/8/16) hosted by Tim Bryn Smith.
It was most definitely the most informative 3 hours I've spent sat down in a long time!!
I'm learnt so much about how to make use of googling producers, directors, actors etc so when you do get chance to be on a set you will have the knowledge to make that very important first impression and with regard to actors who you identify with who their agents are etc
I also learnt a lot more about Tim which I can only say is a good thing - he's a great presenter and madelete the workshop fun, so much fun the time just flew but I left feeling so much better about myself and equipped with knowledge that I know will help me to work towards my dreams.
Thanks Tim and I look forward to the next one 👍😎

Fantast opportunity to learn more about the acting industry. Modular syllabus is offered, covering a diverse acting skill set. Topics including understanding Shakespeare, the Meissner approach to understanding acting script writing explored within a safety net of the workshop group members. The. Modules continue throughout the year, enhancing individual group members skills and understanding of the acting industry.. My confidencee has increased over the 4 years, opening acting opportunities that I previusly wouldn't have known about. Thanks Tim Stella x

I've been attending the workshop since December last year and it is such a great experience every week! It's a brilliant place to come and let loose and be creative! Also a very good place to meet new people and learn about different acting techniques from novice to pro! Highly Recommend!

I attended the Beginners Voiceover Workshop. I was really impressed with the course, it was very professional and great for confidence building. Tim and Richard were brilliant and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in the Voiceover industry.

I am not from Nottingham, when I moved here I was struggling to find good acting workshops. I have recently joined the actors workshop, I absolutely love it! It's been very helpful and everyone is super friendly, it's a great environment.

I've been to workshops around the East Midlands, and I must say this one is certainly the best. Great sessions, great tutors and a great friendly working atmosphere. A must if you're looking to improve your acting skills!

The AW is run by a fantastic group of people - the effort and care that go in to each session shows. Whether you are a beginner or just trying to upskill, I would strongly advise coming along.
The best place for aspiring actors outside of London IMO!

Acting Industry 101
Attended a great workshop yesterday with the actors workshop. Very informative and helpful in understanding how to get established in the industry. I hope and look forward to attending more in the future.

Attended for a period and loved every minute of it. The team are always willing to help both during and outside of the classes, feels like a proper family.
Can't wait until my life is less hectic and I can get back. Top of my to do list for sure!!

Fantastic and outstanding value for money training. But not only that, I feel much of what I've learned is both transferable and applicable to negotiating any sort of creative freelance career. Given the sort of tosh many educational establishments chuck out. This is quality professional training. Highly recommended.

Fandabidozi! Been attending the The Actors Workshop now since the start of the year when my acting bug broke out. The people here are pure awesomeness and the guys running the sessions offer fantastic insights, tips and suggestions. Highly recommended. Do it. Now. Go on...

I have only managed to get to a couple of workshops (Industry 101 and Beginner Voice Over) but both times I have been impressed by the quality of content and teaching. Whether you are a complete beginner or trying to become a professional there is something for you. I hope to attend many future workshops!

AMAZING!!I’ve been going to the AW for about 6 weeks, I had no previous acting experience before I stated attending. I have learned so much in a short space of time and enjoy the fun and informative workshops and friendly family atmosphere.

I joined this group at the beginning of the year and I'm so happy I did so. As someone who has always suffered with low confidence, I couldn't ask for a more supportive and encouraging group to act with. I feel myself growing every week, thank you so much.

After not performing for a long time, attending the actors workshop has helped me regain my confidence that I once had on stage and in front of people. Everyone is so friendly and apart from having a lot of fun, I’ve learnt a lot.

Tim has a very engaging and productive class, which finally enables actors to get the most out of the session, I particularly wanted to focus on accent work, which i was delighted to find was a constant theme in classes, even during lockdown he produced a fantastic short film which gives aspiring actors real life experience which is what everybody needs, highly recommend to anybody wanting to enhance there skills

I hold the training I've undergone at The Actors Workshop in very high regard. I would recommend AW to anyone looking to expand their current skills or learn something new.

I initially joint AW Notts to improve my confidence in public speaking etc but I quickly fell in love with acting, and under Tim and co’s tutelage I feel my ability as a performer has improved in leaps and bounds.

Learned a lot from the first one I went to but went again as my husband wanted to go. So glad I did as I got even more out of the day and learned that I could do more voice over types and was more relaxed recording them!
Highly recommend
