Brian Timoney is one of the world's leading authorities on method acting and method acting training. Want to know more about his acting courses?
The boot camp introductory course into method acting is a great course to go on for anyone thinking of becoming an actor. Brian is a passionate teacher and is patient and considered with his students. He and his wife Natalie help you feel at ease with what, for me, could have been a very frightening experience. I must also compliment the movement couch, Gabriel, who helped us focus on finding our inner animal.
Brian is dedicated, inspiring and have great knowledge to teach the method. This is quality, i’ve been to many courses, so i know what im talking about. This is a real quality course in Method Acting.
This course left me feeling emotional, stimulated, determined, connected and hopeful. Brian is someone who I genuinely believe deserves all the love and recognicition in the world. While straightforward, he's never mean and his commitment and passion for the Method and giving actors the best career is electrifying. If you come into it with an open heart, a belief that you can change your way of thinking if needed and a willingness to let your guard down, the Boot Camp is absolutely for you. Thank you Brian.
If you like stepping out of your comfort zone this course does not disappoint. Powerful, challenging but rewarding. Loved it.
Brian enthusiasm for the film and acting fraternity shines through he has a wealth of knowledge of the industry and if you’re serious about becoming a method actor I would definitely recommend Training with Brian Be prepared to work hard and apply yourself if this is the Careerfor you then Brian is the man to get you there
As the dust settles on 3 of the most intense days you can experience as an actor I am mentally exhausted but filled with a new passion to push my career forward. I have been doing this acting business for a number of years now and i am just sorry I didn’t do this sooner. There is a certain mentality that creeps in that it is a step backwards to return to training or seek help on your weaknesses, and this was true for myself. If you feel this way then don’t even consider it as a weakness as I can guarantee you will leave these 3 days a MUCH BETTER actor. I was actually envious of the first timers there as they are definitely starting with the right foot forward. Be prepared to leave your inhibitions at the door and be open to somewhat making a ‘fool of yourself’ It opens you up as an actor and as a person and it all serves a bigger purpose. Geniually surprising that Brian actually seemed to care about the actors and what they were taking out of it, as after many years of doing this I wouldn’t hold blame if he just went through the motions. He gave me advice that was unique to my acting style that is honestly invaluable to not only my technique but my mental state on set. So no matter what stage you are at in this crazy business I would implore you to put this course in your ‘actors plan’ I feel ready to take on the world (but first I need sleep) Baz Black
An excellent course brilliantly run by Brian Timoney . It stretches you, makes you go totally outside your comfort zone . I found it brilliantly found your inner self......indeed one could say your inner soul . All these help to integrate your sensory memory into your role. Lastly one has to say that Brian is a totally awesome tutor/lecturer etc and believe me I’ve met many in my previous career as a doctor. In my opinion Brian is the best I’ve ever come across. I would totally recommend this course to every aspiring actor as Brian is both supporting but at the same time pulling no punches Jeremy Weston
I can’t thank Brian and his team enough. Absolutely brilliant! I totally recommend the Method Acting Bootcamp to anyone who is Intrested in becoming an actor or like myself, anyone who is currently acting. I wish I had done it a lot sooner. Thanks Brian
Life Changing - Brian shapes the boot camp in a way that enables you to explore yourself to it's very core. This allows you to identify that your life experiences whether negative or positive can be used to shape you within any acting performance. I have now been given an extremely positive hunger to challenge myself, change my whole persona & look at applying for the Ultimate course. Brilliant guidance to complete a change from a chrysalis of living within a negative period.
I finished the three day course yesterday and in doing so I feel more determined than before to pursue a career in acting cos deep down it's something I really want to do I want to say thank you to Brian and everyone in the group I worked with over the three days,you were all awesome and brilliant to be around and do this with I strongly suggest to anyone who wants to be an actor to do this course cos it's absolutely worth it
One of the best of all my life changing experiences. I would consider Master Brian professionality and commitment in creating professional actors at the top level. An In-depth work within individuals to take out the most artistic sides inside every soul who has the privilege to be part of the program . It’s a real boost in personal growth let alone the acting career. Grateful for life. Carmine Manfredi
The training you will receive as an actor at the Brian Timoney Actors’ Studio is eye opening and life changing. Your view on acting, yourself as an actor and as a person will change for the better. Brian Timoney is an excellent acting coach and his style of compassionate, nurturing teaching and brutally honest criticism will help you become the best actor you can be. I’ve done the Method Acting for Film and Method Acting Boot Camp courses and they, with Brian’s teaching, helped me realise what ‘real acting’ is all about. His resources such as his method acting book, manual, business of acting masterclass CDs and webinars are also great resources. Thank you, Brian and Natalie for welcoming me into the studio for my training. Looking forward to the Ultimate Acting Programme in the near future hopefully. Til the next time. Regards, Hansen
Whilst it was expensive... it was a truly immersive experience. Whilst the approach in the Bootcamp is provocative in an aggressive manner I understood what Brian was aiming to achieve. He is passionate, realistic and wants to give ‘you’ the best and draw the best out of ‘you’. A theoretical, practical and emotional ‘tour-de-force’ of Method Acting. Let your feet follow your heart and be true to yourself....
I spent 3 days last July (2017) studying at Brian Timoney’s ‘Ultimate Acting Course Boot Camp’... To say it was the single most enjoyable, liberating and informative course I have ever done isn’t without its merits. You see, I served 22 years in Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force and attended and completed many fantastic informative and down right hard work (mentally) courses in those 22 years. But none of them gave me what the Boot Camp gave me...emotional liberation...acting confidence...belief in ME... Also they missed two huge elements... Brian Timoney and his amazingly passionate team. Five glowing gold stars are not enough praise for The Master of Method...the mans a genius
Thank you Brian for a fantastic Vaktangov Acting weekend. Every time I attend your acting courses I can feel my acting ability grow. I am finally learning how to become a more relaxed performer and let go of the tension so I can deliver a more believable performance. I cannot wait for the next course :)
An excellent 3 days of learning and imbibing! I found it extremely useful in terms of building the character and bringing authenticity in the portrayal.
For anyone seriously considering getting into acting, I would highly recommend Brian's Ultimate Acting Program. I've completed the course myself in 2017, and am now taking my first steps into the real world of acting. Brian and his team of coaches are skilled, passionate and dedicated to turning you into the best actor you can be. It's no easy ride. You have to be prepared to work hard, and you will find yourself way out of your comfort zone, but the end results are more than worth it.
Words cannot express the gratitude to Brian & his top industry team for turning what was a lifetime dream into a reality in my 40's!! The course is highly organised and really does give a very in depth intensive understanding of method acting, along with invaluable help and support learning about the actual business side of the industry itself. Brian is by nature highly instinctive, and has an immensely deep knowledge and understanding of this type of training and the human psyche. In my opinion a world class coach that I feel privileged to have been taught by. However, word of warning, this course is not for someone who wants to be hand held or is half hearted, it takes lots of self exploration, self compassion and a huge amount of self discipline as much of the internal method work is done by yourself at home on a daily basis, even when you don't feel like it!! Something I still do....and I still love! But by the end of the course I felt confident being launched into a completely new industry I knew nothing about, and when I got my first job I walked onto set calm and prepared.
A life changing experience ! It’s not an easy ride but it’s worth it ! Thank you ever so much Brian and Natalie for an incredible year.

Mar 01,2019This was such an amazing weekend. Not going to lie it was hard work and nerve-wracking at times. I learned so much and appreciated the acting industry even more after this bootcamp. But I meet a great bunch of people. You can tell Brian and his team have a great thing going on here and they are so passionate about what they do. Thanks again for the weekend.
