| Message | Graham is an excellent teacher. I learned such an invaluable system for acting during the course of the week. It is because of Graham's expertise as a director and the craft of acting coupled with his passion and dedication to his students, you come away inspired, real and really committed to being the best you can be as an actor. I am forever grateful to Graham and his acting for camera intensive course. So great to learn from someone who really cares. |

| Message | If you are serious about acting and want to require top level knowledge and skills then this is a groundbreaking course for you. What more would you want when you walk in the door than to be greeted by an actors director with passion in his soul, seeping with energy and enthusiasm. This is the actors Gordon Ramsay. Stand on that stage and make your mark. This time is yours, make it count!  |

| Message | The Camera Acting Intensive is a fantastic and worthwhile course. I learnt more about screen acting in five sessions with Graham than I had through any other formal training. Now, instead of viewing a camera apprehensively, I am far more confident that I will be able to produce a natural and believable performance if I just remember the basic principles we were told in the workshops. The showreel scene at the end is a great bonus, but to be honest I would do the course just for the knowledge and experience! Many thanks! |

| Message | Easily the best acting experience I have had to date. Graham was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Ample amount of key takeaways from the whole course and would recommend to anyone who is looking to get: great advice, better practice methods and a top class show reel scene. Will be looking to do another in the future asap. Highly recommended. |

| Message | I had no idea that learning so much could be such terrific fun. Not only do you get a great showreel but you are given incredible methods of working that hone your skills for the future. Graham not only knows how to get the best out of an actor, but how to make that actor get the best out of themselves. I have been pushed out of my comfort zone and portrayed characters that I had k no idea I could do; and I have loved every second of second of it and also made some great friends. If you are reading this and thinking about doing this course, then please, PLEASE DO IT! It will be the best thing you do. |

| Message | I completed the CAI workshop in September 2014 and it was one of the best courses I’ve ever done. The experience I gained was invaluable and I enjoyed every minute. It was a privilege and a joy to work with both Graham and Amy, whose passion and talent is inspiring to be around. Prior to doing the course, my acting technique consisted mostly of just hoping for the best (!) and really truthful acting (or rather, reacting) seemed like a well-kept secret that no one else was willing to share. Graham illuminated that mystery for me and thanks to him I now have a solid technique which will stand me in good stead for any role in the future. Graham is a truly insightful director with the ability to communicate the nuances of acting in a very clear way. As all of the other testimonials here will attest, if you’re considering this course, don’t hesitate any longer – book it! |

| Message | I recently took the CAI course in London and I cannot speak highly enough of it. I have done several courses with other organisations over the past year and none of them even come close to this. The way that Graham teaches is unique and has totally changed how I will approach scenes in the future. Be prepared to work hard and have fun. It's a really rare opportunity to work with a talented and highly experienced director. Everyone in our group improved so much by the end of the course. If you do get the chance to take the CAI then you will have spent your money wisely and end up with a quality showreel scene at the end of it. After the course I booked to film extra scenes with Graham and Amy. Both Graham and Amy are extremely hard working and really care about what they do. I really hope to be able to do the advanced course with them. |

| Message | Doing the workshops with Graham has really changed my perception on acting and my method when approaching a role. He is a fantastic teacher, finding a way to help each person understand where they can improve, and encourage them to take risks in a great environment he creates. I would highly recommend the workshop to anyone who wants to pursue their dream in acting, such a great amount of knowledge imparted in such a short space of time, it's great value. And the great thing is it doesn't matter how much/little experience you have had. Thank you Graham for a wonderful opportunity and to opening my eyes to a whole new way of working! If you're debating whether to do this... take the chance. |

| Message | Its not very often that the term "Actor's Director" is used in the industry. Unfortunately its because most directors have no idea of how to deal with actors. Thankfully this was not the case with Graham. He is extremely fine-tuned to how the actor's mind works and is brilliant at identifying and analyzing the obstacles that impede a better performance. He completely demystifies the acting process, takes the time to listen to every participant's feedback and then focuses on improvement. His professionalism, patience and great knowledge of the industry puts this course miles ahead of the other training I have done in the past. And it culminates with a professionally made, colour-graded showreel scene! I would definitely recommend this course to any actor. I know I will remember it for a long time. |
