Acting courses in Manchester

“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“I attended the Monday acting class at mindful acting last week. I was extremely impressed by the whole class, from the teacher to the friendly, welcoming and supportive vibe. Unfortunately as I don't live in Manchester I can't attend every week, but I will definitely be back again and would recommend to all actors and aspiring actors. Thanks, Christopher Heyworth-Hill”

“My little boy has been attending Kitty’s classes since March & absolutely loves it. His confidence has grown so much but most of all he enjoys having fun each week with such a lovely group. His favourite part are the shows they are involved in as they are amazing to watch and be a part of!”

“I have done Act4TV since I was 11 years old. Since coming back as an adult I love it just as much as I did back then! The classes are unique and energetic and really helpful! Joe gives some brilliant advice that has helped me an awful lot. I’d recommend Act4TV to anyone :)”

“My daughter has been attending the juniors class for a year and absolutely adores it. She has grown in confidence indeed her class teacher mentioned it at parents evening. The tutors are fabulous . I can thoroughly recommend First Act”

“Always enjoy my classes at Act up North and feel I have learnt somthing new every time. Teachers are great and the effort they put into the showreals also are excellent.. Ive been with Act up North for over three years and intend to keep going. Safe fun place to be.. :)”

“My daughter and I went for open day and she has just recently auditioned. Lovely place, lovely atmosphere. I have messaged helpline a couple of times and the staff have been so patient polite and helpful, nothing was to much trouble. She has since been offered a place and I am so glad she is coming to you! Thank you”

“I have been coming to MTA for just over a year now and I couldn't be more thankful for the incredible Team! They have been nothing but supportive and fun! The leaders put their hearts into giving us the best drama possible! They have given me opportunities I could get no where else! From the workshops to the shows everything we do at MTA is so much fun! They build up confidence incredibly well and focus on making sure kids are pushed out of there comfort zones while also making sure kids are comfortable! I couldn't be more Positive about MTA! Thankyou to the MTA team for everything you have done for me!!!!!!”

“Lively, friendly classes. I started as a complete beginner to learn how to act and build confidence. I've learned so much since I joined last year, through a variety of activities as well as great constructive feedback and my confidence has grown hugely. Definitely worth it.”

“Small,intimate evening classes for professional Actors to refine their audition skills and cold reading technique.Very useful.”

“Fantastic place for children of all ages. Great for adults that are looking to make acting a career or just need to boost your confidence. Would definitely recommend the drama classes here.”

“Meladrama is fantastic - Mel and the team are great teachers, equally adept at focussing and encouraging young talent and bringing out the best in young people will less confidence. Whether kids are looking for a career in acting or just a fun way to spend a Saturday morning, Meladrama is highly recommended.”

“I cannot recommend Stagecoach enough - we had a wonderful experience during the summer holidays where we joined the workshop for Revolting Children from Matilda. I was put at ease straight away when Ceri welcomed us and reassured me the children will have fun and will be well looked after, having never left my children anywhere I was anxious. Once I picked them up my mind was put at rest immediately and our boys wanted to go back the following day and go earlier. The work all of the children produced was to a very high standard and this was all rehearsed in less than a week. Stagecoach workshop had such a positive huge impact on both of my sons to the point where we have now joined up for their next term, we are literally on countdown for when the term starts. We cannot wait for the next production, which will be the Christmas show! Thank you Stagecoach Team ☺️”

“This is the best drama school in Manchester, please don't be under any illusions and think it is easy you have to pass not 1 but 2 auditions and Mark Hudson knows he's stuff. If you want to take up acting then try this school don't act be yourself, and good luck”

“I went to these classes since I was 6. Best decision I ever made. Helped me with my confidence, social skills and also my acting ability. Now I work as an actor and also teach classes for this brilliant school! Can’t recommend enough.”

“An amazing school good qulity very good teachers and lovley headteacher (that left)”

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“Amazing dance school. My son has attended for over 6 years. The teachers are incredible, it has a lovely atmosphere and they put on amazing shows at the theatre. Great school and amazing memories to be made. All types of dance to suit everybody, great confidence building. Would recommend”
