  • “Gareth has a very in depth understanding of both what it means to be an actor and what it takes to be a great one, drawing on his experience in Britain in theatre and television I felt that I was not only getting the tuition that I needed but the insights into the craft that are required to reach a full understanding of both the difficulty and the beauty of what an actor is trying to achieve.”

  • “Just want to let you know that these acting classes have given me more confidence towards all aspects of life, and I just want to say thank you. Also, when I was driving home last night, I was rehearsing the script you gave me, and I think I nailed it on the head. I didn't really understand how to interpret the script until after I got your help!”

    Sam Carson

  • “These observations were not requested by Gareth –he’s not into feigned praise. Gareth attacks the work (script) with a forensic, relentless enthusiasm. No room for faking here – The script gets the most thorough going over before words are allowed to emerge. Thoroughly approachable and peppering the evening with anecdotes from his not inconsiderable experience as an actor, Gareth draws you in with his passion, his energy and his total commitment. It’s fun, it’s scary, it’s demanding, it’s satisfying.”
