   London Actors Workshop has been a transformative experience. The instructors bring a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for teaching & create a supportive, challenging, and inspiring environment that encourages real growth. The balance between technique, improvisation, and character work gave me the tools to approach any role with confidence and depth. I especially appreciated the personalized feedback—it was constructive and motivating, helping me break habits I wasn’t even aware of. The guidance on self tapes and the audition process was invaluable. This course exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills. It doesn’t just teach you how to act—it teaches you how to listen, connect, and bring truth to your performance.

   I discovered the London Actors Workshop in 2024 after a desire to return to the world of acting and highly recommend it. Jon and colleagues are very supportive and everyone in the group got a lot from the course no matter what their experience or ability. A number of us returned for the advanced course and then went on to perform professionally in TV and theatre. I can honestly say it has changed my life over the last couple of years. Sign up today!

   Outstanding value. These small group classes really gave me (and everyone) the space to grow and develop as an actor over the course of the 12 weeks. We covered many different areas from stage combat through to commercials via Shakespeare and other techniques, and walked away with showreel material. I jumped at the chance to go deeper with the 5-week advanced program and haven't looked back. Thanks to Jon and all the tutors for their dedication to the craft and for helping me on my acting journey.

   Taking the LAW 12-week beginner acting workshop was a fantastic experience. Jon has a rare gift for creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where everyone from complete beginners to those with a little experience feels encouraged to take risks and grow. If you’ve ever thought about trying acting, I can’t recommend this workshop enough—it’s transformative, uplifting, and truly unforgettable.

   The London Actor’s Workshop has assembled a mighty cast of industry professionals who teach a packed curriculum, and some of them offer ongoing mentoring outside. During the 12 week course there are also a few extra evening classes laid on with casting directors and agency people. I knew nothing of acting when I started Jon’s 12 week course. Now, in week 11, I have some insight into every aspect of the industry, from acting itself in various situations with various methods, to the business of getting work as an actor. I even have a CV prepared by Jon’s team. The course culminates with a performance showcase in a London theatre (next week!), which gives credence and a focus for all the previous weeks of work.

   I love the variety of components that make up the course, lots and lots of different subjects covered in a hands on way, it's like the perfect cocktail for the modern actor! The way Jon, the tutors and students root for each other on the course is the thing I find most inspiring! There is a strong value in positivity and enthusiasm in the Acting industry and the London Actors Workshop seems to have it in spades.

   I took both courses the 12 week and then the 6 week intensive, during the 2020 and then 2021 lockdown. So the course was fully done online. This course reallt is the full package. The range of content covered is SUPERB. You really do it all. Scene study, Shakespeare, Acting for commericals, Screenwork and so much more. All designed to give you more tools in your arsenal and shape your development. Every teacher is so warm and supportive and challenges you in the best way. You really feel your skill progress quickly. I am a trained actress and I honestly think this course is one of the best any actor will find regardless of their ability or experience. One of the things that impressed me the most wass the emphasis on building a strong support system within and outside of the class. Everyone supports and learns from one another. The online sessions midweek and the WhatsApp group help to strengthen the bond. Trust me in 3 weeks or you’ll be cracking jokes, meeting up on Zoom and most of all feel safe enough be more bold and daring in class. This is by far and away the most diverse group of actors I've ever worked with. Spanning across so many cultural backgrounds, life experiences and age ranges! It’s wonderful. And the cherry on top is the contacts LAW has. Most courses especially short intensives like this you are lucky if a casting director sees you once . You have the opportunity to meet 3 different ones AND film something at the end of the course that gets sent to a wide network of casting directors and agents? Come on what are you waiting for? Be like a Nike trainer and JUST DO IT!

   I've taken both the 12 week course and the advice course at L.A.W. and would highly recommend both courses . The value for money is outstanding. The level of commitment and help from the tutors and director is second to none. There are also opportunities for Q & A's with directors, actors and other industry individuals. After the 12 week course there is a showcase that agents are invited to. I have met some amazing people as a result of this course and have no doubt you will too .

   I took the 12 Week Acting for Film & TV Course in 2018, and followed it up with the 5 Week Advanced Acting for Film & TV Course the same year, and also took it up this year as a refresher, and I highly recommend signing up. The courses are packed with information, exercises and techniques shared by various industry professionals. What I loved the most about the courses was that your acting experience prior to signing up did not really matter in order to secure a place for training here. There is a place for anyone who really wants to pursue acting and is willing to take the craft seriously and ready to learn with an open mind.This laid the foundation for my acting career, and I owe it to Jon Sidgwick and the tutors at London Actors Workshop.
