TESTIMONIALS:

"Beyond simply teaching the technique of acting, Acting Coach Scotland will help to shape your mindset and approach to acting in a no nonsense, practical way by focusing on the craft. The tools I developed in my year at ACS will be ones which I continue to use throughout my career as they are applicable to every piece of work I could hope for. It’s not an exaggeration to say that ACS taught me everything I know in regards to acting, and the knowledge and experience which they have to draw on is invaluable." - ADAM ROSS GREENE

"I had a chance to perform publicly in theatre productions, work with industry professionals on film sets, and be part of many other projects during this year. It’s been a ride! And I cannot be more grateful for my ACS family!" ANDREA LINHOVA
