No Nonsense, Intensive Actor Training

We offer empowering professional training for motivated individuals

Established in Glasgow in 2008, Acting Coach Scotland (ACS) is a revolutionary alternative to acting courses and drama schools. Our Glasgow acting studio provides the highest level of professional training for actors, and those that want to be actors, throughout Scotland. We’re housed in the historic Govan Workspace at 6 Harmony Row. 

Our studio is lead by Nick J Field, and he is joined by an experienced coaching and administrative team. 

ACS is the UK home of Practical Aesthetics, a practical no-b*llshit approach to acting. We also specialise in an approach to the mental game of acting called The Inner Game of Acting. 

In the past, we’ve trained everyone from beginners to Oscars winners, and many of our students go on to work in feature films, television series and in theatre.

We provide full and part-time acting courses, as well as private 1-2-1 coaching for individuals. 

We also specialise in individual coaching, private acting coaching to suit a range of needs including Drama School Audition Coaching, Professional Audition Coaching, Career Coaching and Zoom/Skype Coaching.

In 2015, ACS introduced our own unique full-time 1-year Professional Diploma in Stage and Screen Performance, validated by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). The first students began in January 2016, and since then we have introduced our HNC and HND courses - so we have something to suit everyone.

At ACS, we pride ourselves on being a fun, friendly and highly professional environment that helps people achieve their goals of gaining confidence, boosting skills, developing excellence and entering the acting profession.

We don’t sell dreams: we offer empowering professional training for motivated individuals.
