STUDENTS COMMENTS
Hi Neale, I want to tell you just how much I enjoy your classes and just how glad I am to have found someone of your professionalism, experience and commitment. Your Sunday sessions have enabled me to grow back some of the confidence and 'centeredness' which had gone out of the window (I would have never got my last job if I had taken the audition months ago) and of course to keep growing as an actor (and have fun too!) and now I am HUNGRY for more!
Just finished 'The real thing' and apart from the stiff upper lip I reckon Charlotte could potentially be from almost anywhere in the world don't you think!? ;) Looking forward to working on it with you and the rest of the group.

Hi Wendy,
Just a quick note to Neil and yourself...
Really, I want to just thank you for the opportunity with the 'acting for the camera' workshops. We may have not been completely enthusiastic sometimes- but I can safely say, on behalf of everyone, that it was a fantastic experience :)
It was so fascinating and helpful to get even a basic insight into the world of camera, film and television- and most certainly opened our eyes as to the type of thing to be expected if we were to follow and succeed in our dreams of becoming film/movie stars!
So yes, thank you again for the opportunity- sacrificing your holiday hours was a great gesture :P
Thank you! See you September 6th, have a lovely remainder of the summer :)

Hi Wendy,
Just to let you know that I will definitely be attending next half term as I’ve loved it so far and have been getting so much out of it. Neale is a wonderful teacher.
Thanks
