Ok where do I begin Most likely the best decision of my life Let s start with the obvious Brian is a great teacher and a great human being He will be able to help you get a very good understanding of the craft quite fast From the first interaction you have with him it will be easy to realise that he has spent a long long time understanding what good acting is and feels like And most importantly he has the ability to help YOU understand what good acting is and FEELS like He is not going to discourage you in any way if you are not getting where you should be as many teachers do in a sad attempt to show you how it s done but at the same time he is not going to sugarcoat anything for you which in my opinion is the best of both worlds I feel like this is the best way to move forward and improve It is important to mention at this point that every person is going to get the help and attention they need He is not going to keep saying the same things to everyone something I have come across many times as everyone is different Everyone will be able to improve in the areas in which they are lacking well some may hear the same because they are obviously facing the same problems He is not going to enforce his opinion on you but you should probably listen from the start as he is most likely right That doesn t mean you shouldn t express what you are thinking as there is a very good chance that your ideas and his guidance will lead to a great result Personally I feel like I have grown so much in the duration of one year It was and probably will be for you a very challenging year It may take some time to do even small at first glance things but you will 100 do those things Whether that s following your impulses relaxing perceiving as your character and then breaking character as you had a random thought and coming back to it or being with your scene partner you will achieve these things following the process you will be shown For me it was quite a challenging journey as I am quite an introverted person It was not easy to leave myself behind It s still not easy But as you move on and learn and improve it gets easier I think you will realise at some point that you don t matter as much as you think I feel like after this year I can experiment with the material I have and try everything I feel like trying Whether that works or not in a scene we will see but for me the win was to get the confidence to create characters embody them as well as I can show them to the world and following the process hopefully the performances will be real in my own unique way I was lucky enough to work with amazing people throughout the course of this year My fellow actors were incredibly talented and worked hard to get even better something I think is quite important as it motivates you to keep getting better and better And most importantly Brian will give you the opportunity to work with very passionate people that want to create great work as he is really careful when it comes to who he picks I am not implying anything about me please do not take it like that I am sure my fellow students will do amazing work and I am honoured to have worked with them I have to mention that for any possible question you have Natalie will answer it for you and make everything clear from the beginning Brian s course runs very smoothly from every aspect and I feel like Natalie is a huge reason for this I never felt like I didn t know what was going on and every single question I had was answered I cannot say the same thing about my Uni experience so the conclusions are yours I also had the pleasure of working with Gabriel My voice was one of the main issues I had especially in the beginning of the year With Gabriel s and Brian s guidance I did a lot of voice work which led me to improve the thing that was clearly holding me back in many ways Lastly I must not forget to mention that Brian will show you how to navigate acting from its business aspect There is no if you want it enough you will get it kind of guidance He will show you exactly how to move forward and get work I am not saying you will love it But you will know what to do Of course the showcase is an incredible opportunity for you to meet people in the business talk with them and hopefully get an agent I am currently in talks with 3 agents so by the time you are reading this there is a good chance I will be an actor with an agent All in all this was an experience for which I do not have enough good words to say I found parts of myself that I had both lost and never knew I had in the first place Thank you Brian Natalie and Gabriel for helping me improve as an artist and a person for being so kind and for putting me in a position to do something that I really love

As we would say in Scotland this course is a belter - different from the rest I started this class very timid and lacking in confidence but determined to follow my dream to pursue acting Brian has designed the course to break you out of bad acting habits encourage you out of your shell and decipher any other obstacle that may be preventing you from growing He then proceeds to build you up as an actor He is providing you with the tools to home in on the techniques that will continuously stretch your potential as an actor and artist He redefines your focus and shows you what is important to concentrate on to take your acting ability to the next level Once you become confident in the method techniques being taught you then put them into practice and simultaneously start to discover not only different character creations but parts of yourself you weren t aware were in you - this can be pleasantly surprising Once you put these eloquently together the creative process becomes even more alluring and makes the possibilities endless I couldn t have asked for better people to work alongside- my class and teachers were incredible-full of talented individuals to bounce off and learn from Each month I would bounce into class so excited to see everyone and put into practice what we had been working on Before he lets you go at the end of the journey you will have learned not only the method but the business side of acting Meaning even after the year course you are prepped and left with the skills that you can sharpen and practise solos such as warm-ups and relaxation before performances and auditions You will also have vital knowledge of how to conduct yourself in the industry In Demidov s etude process you have to trust your physical impulses and green light them which creates spontaneous reactions in your work What s interesting is even outside of class you become more trusting of your impulses and I became less hesitant and shy as a person because I trusted my own decisions and stopped second-guessing myself so much All in all I highly recommend this course

I highly recommend this course It gave me everything I needed to start my acting career properly It s not for the faint-hearted and that was what I was looking for I had some pretty significant boundaries and habits that needed dealing with and I would always shut down my emotions when acting I was struggling to get myself out of the way Brian and his team saw this and worked diligently to help me and they made it clear that if I were to succeed I would need to put in a lot of hard work I was coached with great care and respect and started to feel safe allowing my emotions to be part of my work This was a big thing for me Now I am as free as a bird and since graduating from this course Brian has become a great source of knowledge that I rely on to keep on track and stay true to my acting I have a one-woman show that I perform regularly and I am pleased to say that I financially support myself entirely using the skills learned from the course I have to pinch myself that I am doing what I love

Life changing course but BEWARE This course is Not for the faint hearted You ll be pushed to your limits to see what are your TRUE potential is but in return you have a professional training with a very hard working team whose goal is to help you to make it happen If Brian decide to pick you on this program means you absolutely have what it takes to be there so if your earn the right don t half ass it

I can wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Brian Timoney and his Ultimate Method Acting Programme because he is a master at teaching method acting and his programme works Brian taught me to act in an authentic and believable way to green-light the first natural impulse and to show real emotions ranging from the most subtle to intense and to create real authentic and believable characters He is a master at teaching actors to deliver real and truthful acting because he has studied the tools and techniques which have been successfully used to train some of the best actors in the world Two weeks after our showcase at the end of the Ultimate Acting programme I have signed with an agent because in their own words my headshot was good and the showreel very good Before joining Brian s programme I had virtually no acting experience So if you want to get into the acting industry Brian Timoney and his acting programme delivers what it says on the tin Sign up Lyndon Price

Brian and his Ultimate Acting Programme have brought new levels of depth into my acting in ways I never knew existed The techniques I learned over the year will stay with me forever and I m incredibly grateful to have explored in an environment where I can ask all my questions and get personal feedback as to how to better unlock the best in my acting rather than being in a huge class where I m not seen The fact that Brian and Natalie also cover important elements of the business side of the industry is also incredibly helpful and is something I have yet to find in another course I m not usually one for taking notes but I filled every single line in 2 notebooks If that doesn t tell you whether it s worth it or not I don t know what does This course is clearly well-thought through You can feel the passion that went into designing it in such a way to get the best out of you If you want to upskill or you are starting from scratch which is where I was I would highly recommend Brian and his classes

Brian Timoney Ultimate Acting ProgrammeHaving done a few of Brian Timoney s online courses and also an in-person one I took the plunge at the last minute and applied to audition for the Ultimate Acting Programme I was lucky enough to be successful and so the journey began And wow What a journey The Ultimate Acting Programme is exactly that It gives you the skills to become a professional actor from basic relaxation very important for actors to the nuances of characterisation to the practical aspects of the business of acting and everything in between Brian has designed a programme to help your skills develop and grow in a way that is both guided and organic The exercises really do help you to become a character To think move speak and behave as the character and not just a pale imitation And Brian knows how to get the best out of his students He understands people and uses his own intuition and his wealth of knowledge and experience to develop his students intuition All of the students in my cohort were different We were different ages had different backgrounds different occupations and different experiences of acting There were some that had done a lot of acting and some like me who had done virtually none Brian recognised our different learning styles and was able to guide us all to achieve our best work He is a very talented and intuitive teacher And believe me once you have learned lines the Brian Timoney way you will never worry about forgetting them again We learned how to recognise and act on impulses just as you would in your everyday life We learned how to be creative and intuitive within the confines of scripted work and given circumstances We learned how to communicate with voice body thought and behaviour We learned how to give our characters a life of their own so much so that when performing we were the characters This level of intuitive acting leads to some very believable and powerful performances Don t get me wrong it is hard work Anything worth having is worth working for and you will work hard Brian gives 100 commitment and he expects the same from his students This is method acting training at its best They say behind every great man is a great woman and that is certainly true here Natalie works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that things run smoothly from sending us scripts to producing the showreels She is a Wonder Woman I cannot stress enough just how important these two people have become to me and how grateful I am for what they have both done for me But for me this wasn t just about the acting It was also about the journey I had no idea where it was going to take me but I knew I was looking forward to the ride And what a ride it has been It was also about the people in the group We became very close we helped each other we laughed and cried and enjoyed each other s company We became like a troupe like a family This journey has been one of the best things I have ever done I was one of the oldest students in the group and thought I knew myself pretty well but I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible I also look at other peoples behaviours with a different mindset I question it more For example if someone is rude to me I will often ask myself if they are bad mad or sad I have grown as a person not just as an actor The showcase in the West End was even more amazing than I thought it would be Industry professionals came to see us all perform I was lucky enough to be offered representation by several agents and have been asked to submit self-tapes for both film and TV After a long and successful career in the NHS I have decided to resign and concentrate on acting That s the other thing the course does for you It gives you confidence in your own ability I can proudly say I am an actor Do the course You won t regret it

I completed my Ultimate Acting program with Brian in September 2023 It has been a fantastic journey with a wonderful group of people Brian has developed a teaching approach that takes a complete beginner to a consummate actor over the course of the 12 months The range of method exercises are designed to give us the ability to produce authentic characters who live in the moment This approach to acting really produces electric and compelling performances - literally an edge of your seat experience Our showcase went brilliantly and was widely praised by the agents who came to see us perform If you get a chance to train with Brian grab it with both hands Most of our class is continuing with Brian on his Pro course training should never stop which is testimony to how much we value Brian and the techniques he teaches

As many of my colleagues have written here Brian is an incredible teacher He teaches techniques that produce natural acting that you can find in many method acting courses I m sure but the real difference lies in his attention to details and mind reading powers You can t get away with pretending Even when you don t realise it Brian can pinpoint exactly what thoughts or issues are blocking you His no nonsense approach can sometimes push you to the limit but he will only do this when you need it He tailors his method to each individual same for the scene and etude selection He is truly passionate about what he teaches and it is infectious The ultimate acting program doesn t just unravel your natural artistic abilities but also sets you up with all the proper tools thanks to Natalie who meticulously organises and checks everything for a running start a great quality showreel self tape and audition skills stage and on set experience a great cv a West End showcase where half of us got signed by an agent and most importantly for me confidence and being present so that walking on set and standing in front of a camera does not faze me I don t even see the camera it doesn t scare me or bother me at all hard to imagine one year ago Apart from all the great things Brian does he also set us up with a great voice and movement coach teaching us methods tools that we will use everyday for the rest of our careers no doubt And last but not least we were really lucky to have such a wonderful group that I trust and cherish now to work with I say lucky but it isn t really luck knowing the selection was carefully done by Brian and then hard work was put into it by all of us guided by our coach through various exercises to create an amazing ensemble We are still in touch regularly and it is precious to have a group of people to keep in touch with and share ups and down We are each others cheerleaders now Thank you Brian and Natalie for a great year and beyond It has been absolutely life changing

I can safely say that undergoing Brians Ultimate Acting programme was one of the best decisions I have ever made Working under Brians eye has been a transformative and incredibly rewarding experience I honestly believe I ve learnt more skills from Brians programme in just one year than I would have done undergoing a 3 year course elsewhere The course is meticulously designed to equip you with precise skills and knowledge that maximise your opportunities for success when entering the industry The ultimate acting programme cultivates an environment rich in creativity dedication and a strong support network In just a short year I feel confidently able to go out and seek work in the industry The end of year showcase was the perfect springboard to embark on our journeys and I even was sent offers by agents the very next day Thank you very much Brian and Natalie for your continued support and for a truly wonderful year
