**"Level 1 is more than just the basics (take it from someone who has done a one year Screen Acting training elsewhere!) it's inspiring, motivating, challenging and tremendously fun.  Sally is a passionate and knowledgeable teacher who's teaching style is 100% engaging; she draws sincere and affecting performances from all manner of actors right from the very first class.  Experience and skill level become irrelevant in this encouraging and honest atmosphere, where feedback is immediate, communal and highly constructive.  As an actor I have relished this  freedom to 'play' at my craft, and each class night I come away with a valuable increase in the practical, theoretical and emotional knowledge of acting, and the confidence to keep working at it.  I frequently recommend this course to people as it's totally accessible, and delivers a condensed, high quality dose of fantastic training for energised, truthful and professional screen performances."

“Studio 111 helped me so much with my confidence; I went into Level 1 a shy timid girl and came out a loud crazy woman!

No, but really the courses were so helpful in overcoming my fears …I loved them! Sally is an amazingly talented and inspiring teacher and has helped me land parts in advertisements, television and feature films I would never have got without her help.” Jade Collins – Actress Model – 2nd in “Miss Popularity – TV1
