Oct 22,2018Thorough,intense,rewarding,comprehensive,no nonsense training. Be willing and totally commited to work hard and listen. Brian and his team are second to none. Experts in their field, fully focused on your success and your believability as an actor. Everyone in our year gained representation and are now working in the industry. Just do it, you won’t regret it!

Oct 22,2018Brian and his team of carefully chosen staff bring their full attention and passion to bring out the very best work from each of their students. You are getting taught by the best.

Oct 22,2018Fantastic course, fantastic tutors, fantastic experience. Not for the lazy or feint hearted though. You’ll be pushed and pulled and stretched to your limits. But you won’t regret it. A whole new world will open up for you. My only regret was that I didn’t take the course earlier.

Oct 21,2018Honestly one of the best acting schools there are in the UK. You dive into the intricacies of method acting on your first day, and Brian and his team are some of the best mentors and coaches you'll get in this field. But what makes the ultimate acting course truly great is that you get exposed to the business side of the acting world, and to top it all off, you get to do a showcase at the end of the course in front of 30-50 agents and casting directors. Why 4 stars then instead of 5? I wish we had more during the year. It's not a cheap course, and with that you only get 1 intensive weekend a month. I would have preferred an additional 2-3 days a month to keep the content fresh in your head. As it stands, you have a full month between each intensive weekend which isn't ideal. Hopefully they can introduce two refresher days between each weekend. Overall, I do highly recommend the course for anyone looking to do method acting, you'll certainly get some of the best training you can get by going to Brian and his team. Good hunting!

Oct 19,2018This was honestly the greatest choice i've made so far. This course gave me so much knowledge, courage and insight into what it really takes to be an actor in this day and age. You leave with so much vital information and experience, that you can use everyday. Brian is an incredible teacher and he guides you and helps you in so many ways on the course. The support you get is fantastic from both the teacher and your fellow course members, Its a once in a lifetime choice that you won't regret, just be prepared to work hard.

Oct 19,2018Brian Timoney is the best acting coach I’ve been to by far. In his sessions he gives an honest viewpoint of the Industry and tells you how it is as well as great advice. He’s also an excellent coach. It’s a pity he can’t be duplicated!

Oct 19,2018With little previous acting experience Brian and his team took me from clueless and directionless to being an armed and confident actor ready to enter the industry and five years and 30 feature films later I'd say it worked. No it's not cheap and it's not easy and there are plenty of alternatives out there but as an actor entering the industry later in life I'm very glad I found a no nonsense, no frills, results driven acting education to set me on my way.

Oct 19,2018I did the full 1 year Brian Timoney Ultimate Acting program coming from LAMDA. I have zero regrets. Brian's primary focus is on giving his students the tools to act authentically using the 'Method'. His style starts with the original Stanislavski process, then jumps to Strasberg, then goes back in time and follows Michael Chekhov and eventually Vakhtangov. He's incredibly passionate about getting things 'right' and 'honest' on the stage and not fluffing. I suspect this is because he's from Glasgow where in-authenticity is a death sentence. He employs tutors who are mind-blowingly good. His course introduced me to the top casting director in Hollywood, and the top casting director in the UK. He made me suffer, and he made me a better actor.

Oct 18,2018Brilliant course in helping anyone wanting to be a professional actor regardless of whether you have done any acting before. Brian and his team of teachers do a fantastic job in bringing out your identity & voice as an actor. Also, how much help is put into your understanding of the business side of the industry which is invaluable. And his teaching has served me very well in my acting career, I wouldn’t be where I am right now without his training, so thank you Brian!!! X

Oct 18,2018Brian Timoney's classes are by far the most challenging and rewarding, if you want to learn how to be an authentic and dynamic Actor this is the place to go.

Oct 18,2018I had a great year on the ultimate acting course and came out of it with confidence in my ability and a new agent after the showcase. Brian has a real ability to spot even extremely specific issues that could undermine a performance and, in a training environment, will work you hard to overcome, improve and give you the ability to deliver authentic performances. Still some of the best acting I’ve seen was on that course. I learnt some valuable skills, not least how hard you have to work. The course is not a magic wand, the more you put in, the more you will get back. It will require extreme dedication and at times, courage. There are many many factors that go into becoming a successful actor, one of the most competitive fields in the world, but if you want to gain almost endless inspiration in how to approach a part and learn a reliable method to improve your performance, I really recommend this course.

Oct 18,2018Graduated from Brian Timoney's Ultimate Acting Programme 1 year ago. The year was full of inspiration, sweat and a lot of laughter and also full of creativity, intensity and it was challenging. I have never undergone anything so effective self-evolving before and it was great to have that in combination with good and experienced teachers. I left the course with better acting skills but also new "acting-tools" to choose from and even more important to be able to continue develop my "body-instrument". I said it before and I say it again; I also wanna give a big plus for the insight given about the acting industry as well as the information / knowledge of life as an actor after the course. Brian with his team was always fully focused and prepared and I enjoyed every minute, shared a mix of emotions; adrenaline, laughter, tears with a small class intensively - I enjoyed every moment! Since I graduated I've been on auditions, been on stage and been involved in short films and much more. I've recently signed with an agency that called me back after seen me on the showcase we had signed under Brian's name. Today I see Brian as my first choice coach in acting and I'm super thankful for what he and his team has been giving me.

Oct 18,2018I was missing a lot of tools from my acting toolbox. I wasn't a bad actor, I just wasn't a great actor... At least at the start. What Brian did was to find something within me that allowed me to come alive, to make my acting electric, and to focus me on improving my instrument, my craft, my attitude, and my ability. Since then, I have moved to Los Angeles and have starred in a number of TV shows, movies, theatre projects, and computer games. I'm so very grateful to Brian for seeing the potential within me, knowing how to harness it, and believing in me enough to help me grow as an actor.

Oct 18,2018If you are serious about improving your acting ability and understanding, then Brian's course is great. You will be challenged, but you will also inevitably grow as an actor, if of course you are open to the knowledge Brian has on the method and the industry.

Oct 18,2018He will teach you to act truthfully and be real . Excellent Teacher . Covers everything .

Oct 15,2018Brian is the ultimate teacher you could wish for in the acting business. If you are really serious about this as a career choice, then Brian's years of experience means that he understands / covers all the areas required to get you started as an actor. It doesn't stop there though... in order to continue your personal development, he provides encouragement and guidance for you to progress to your next level throughout your career, whether it be the technique, or allowing you to face your own demons in a safe, secure environment, either 1-2-1 or small group work. Brian offers all his knowledge, but you have to be prepared to work hard on yourself, be open to learning more about yourself and to leave your ego at the door.

Oct 15,2018I decided a couple of years ago at age 49 that my dream was to be a professional actor. I have to say, I have never been a great student and was worried about finding someone who I could commit both my Money and my trust to. I looked around and was impressed by the website and the marketing that the “Brian Timoney ultimate acting programme” had to offer I thought that if he takes his teaching as serious as his marketing then his course is the one for me. He promised me that if I followed the programme he has created then he would prepare me and give me the tools to become a professional working actor in a year. No small feat. I put my trust in him, and his dedicated teams hands and took the work really seriously. I soon started to realise something, I really was a good student, I had just never really had great teachers before. A year later I was at the graduation showcase surrounded by Agents with offers of representation. I have an agent, am now writing my own material, working on a fringe play for the Brighton festival next year and actively seeking work as a professional actor. if you are considering a career in the acting world then Brian Timoney is the teacher you want. His programme is designed to take you from zero experience to industry ready in a Year. I have done it, and it baffles me still how he does it in a year. I just came away from a Masterclass this weekend with Brian, I am once again in awe of how little ego he has, it is always about the work and the development of the students and the craft. Thanks Brian and Team. You truly changed my life.

Oct 15,2018Can't recommend this enough. It's hard to put in words how this all works but it certainly does. It pushes creativity to the next level . Brian's an amazing teacher and you also get the support of your fellow actors which is priceless
David Stokes
Oct 15,2018Again a definite profound experience in self awareness and the discovery of human nature. The Vakhtangov Masterclass ploughs the deep. Brian creates a safe space to fall, take risks and grow. An essential environment for all serious actors

Oct 23,2018You'll be hard pressed to find anyone more dedicated to refining the actors' craft and technique than Brian Timoney. If you're intensely dedicated to developing as an actor artist, this is the best place for you.
