About us
Let’s meet online and in person to play and develop some new (or old) acting skills.
Our acting sessions are for you if:
- You ever thought about taking up acting as a hobby.
- You did drama in college, uni, school and you miss it.
- You ever needed to speak in front of people and wished you had some more tools (and some more confidence).
- You like to play and be creative (and sometimes silly).
- You want to meet new people.
- You are an adult (but really a child).
We will play, learn skills, create and perform.
We will become more free & confident in front of people.
We will make new friends and get to know ourselves in a new way.
All of the sessions are suitable for beginners with little or no experience.
More experienced performers are very welcome to join and play with us too :)
Most sessions are run by Theatre Gym and Tal Jakubwiczova

Introduction to Voice Acting -online workshop (free)
·OnlineOnlineYou have to sign up here to get a link
This is a taster class for our Voice Acting Foundation course.
Join if you want to experience voice acting for yourself.
We’ll talk you through the different worlds of voice acting (it’s not all Disney and Pixar) and the unique opportunities they hold for voice actors.
Join this free class and discover:- How to read from the page and sound like you’re not
- Simple tricks to make your reading more interesting
- How your own voice responds to instructions and prompts
- And so much more …
You will even get a chance to read a script out loud and improve your reading.
We will have a short Q&A session at the end of the class so bring any questions you might have about voice acting.
The workshop is led by voice actor Jen Bradley
Jen is an experienced voice actor who’s worked in the UK, Canada and the US.
She worked for global brands including Dove, Philips and Clearblue, and is currently voicing Luna in MoCo.
There’s nothing she loves more than to be trapped in her little padded cell (voice booth!), talking to herself. She'd love to share her enthusiasm with you and get you to experience voice acting for yourself.
