​“ I have only recently started attending Acting Gymnasium workshops, but can guarantee I'll be signing up for a whole lot more. Gavin's ability to break down overwhelming parts of the industry into bite size and approachable chunks has really boosted my confidence. I attended 'HOW TO GET GOOD QUALITY PAID ACTING WORK'. His approach and insight is extremely pragmatic and would highly recommend to anyone who is seeking more professional knowledge for pursuing an acting career. A gem! ”

— Alice Beckett on Aug 5, 2021.

​

“ I started taking part in the acting gymnasium back in February/March this year and have continued to get stuck into each workshop Gavin directs. It’s relit the buzz I have for performance and has allowed me to open up and loosen up as an actor again! His enthusiasm and love for his craft is unquestionable and transmits across every rehearsal and or workshop I take part in. A true creative genius, Gavin gives you inside knowledge of what the industry is about, how to get involved and the tools you need to become a successful working actor. Couldn’t recommend enough. Five stars! ”

“ I would strongly recommend Gavins workshop on the Business of Acting. For the price you pay and the amount of knowledge and advice he provides, it’s a no brainer really. With these unprecedented times we are in I’m sure its been hard for everyone in this industry but this workshop has helped guide me on what I need to aim for and also gave me the enthusiasm to keep at it. With the small classes Gavin provided, its great as you meet new like minded people and also It gives you opportunities to ask question and feels like a one to one. If you’re feel a bit stuck and confused on when you need to go with your career, take the class and you will be surprised. Really friendly and very helpful! Would definitely do it again! Thanks Gavin ”

— Ross Coles on Jun 30, 2020.

​

“ Well worth it. Numerous little nuggets of information dropped throughout the workshop in a collaboration and friendly atmosphere. Gavin gives you so much information in a format that just sinks in and before you know it, it's been 3 hours and you've felt like you've just had a quick fire short cut to all the things you thought you knew about the industry but didnt. I can guarantee no matter how tuned up on working your career you think you are you will wall away having learnt something new ! ”

​“ I would highly recommend Gavin's workshop on the Business of Acting to anyone and everyone serious about getting on in the industry. The session is jam-packed with information, tips, insight, advice and pointers and I genuinely feel that I can now make myself a workable plan for the next year or two and beyond. It has helped to crystallise what I should be focussing on, highlight where my gaps are and signposted how to go about filling them in practical steps. In addition, it is highly affordable, delivered in a really friendly and personable manner and Gavin takes a genuine interest in where everyone is in their respective careers and tailors his advice accordingly. The fact that the session is limited to just 10 also helps as it means there is room for some one to one discussion. Thanks so much once again Gavin for an invaluable two hours. ”

— Emma Wilkinson Wright on Jun 18, 2020.

“ A great workshop especially being a newbie to the industry, I quite enjoyed Gavins 'no nonsense' and straight to the point accounts of how things should be done, this was from the second the workshop started. A very informative but real approach to how to make the most of opportunities within the acting industry contradictory to what my previous research online had taught me. Overall I highly recommend this workshop to any actor regardless of what stage in your career you maybe at. ”

• “ I found Gavin's group looking for a way to improve elocution and communication skills in English. What I experienced from the first meeting exceeded my expectations vastly. Gavin is an expert of Alexander Technique, the warmup he lead improved intelligibility of my speech and self-confidence instantly, I was feeling relaxed and poised for the rest of the class and afterwards. He remembers every participant's name, listens to individual needs and precisely tailor the exercises to focus on, to make the improvements you desire real. He's encouraging you to go over your boundaries, take new challenges and act as you were at the peak of your abilities -in a relaxed, fun manner. I feel motivated to practice regularly from the day one, as it is a pure joy and the value of this workshop is just incredible. Just to compare, typically the Alexander Technique workshop session is roughly £50-70, a good evening English college is ~£600/week -what you get here is much, much more, worth any money! ”

Just because you’ve attended one of the top acting schools, doesn’t mean one’s have arrived, one must keep on training and developing as an performer. With Gavin’s workshops, you’re guaranteed that’ll you’ll be pushed to be better, he doesn’t mess around! ”

If you're ambitious for career progression or self discovery, attendance at one of this acting gym workshops is mandatory. Its fun but challenging. I would do it again merely for the entertainment that Gavin's snazzy twists creates whilst the revolution you're about to embark upon embeds subliminally in your psyche. ”

You will get a lot of information during the two hours and will be able to ask any questions you might have. We had also a wide range of people attending the session, at different stages in their careers -- and not only actors. I recall one individual looking more into producing and directing, trying to understand more about what goes on with actors on the casting side. Gavin is very open and provides useful tips throughout the whole conversation. I left the meeting with a long to-do list and was also happy to meet other like-minded people. Highly recommend it. ”

Gavin addresses voice quality in a holistic way, from posture and untrained areas of the mouth to psychologically imposed restraints and therefore utilises numerous tools. It's amazing how many different things he can fit in two hours. More importantly, the experience is liberating and joyful. Highly recommended :-) ”

• “ Great class. Very good and effective voice warm-up exercises. Excellent role playing which brought out all intricacies of everyone's speech. Nothing could escape our teacher Gavin's masterful ear. I strongly recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to improve diction; for a native speaker or foreigner. And homework exercises are brilliant as well. ”

• “ Gavin's workshop is full of really great friendly people who are all passionate about acting. It was a great experience and introduction into acting and also getting to see the more advanced side of things. Gavin is an outstanding acting teacher and really gives you the truth of where your flaws are so you know what you need to work on. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in acting whether you are a beginner or advanced! ”

• “ Three days after Gavin's workshop I had an important presentation to about 80 investors and made critical changes beforehand based on his input. The organisers responded on day 4: "Well done on an excellent presentation last night. Quite a few people commented that your presentation was great and in some cases the best presentation of the event.” ”

• “ I have been attending Gavin's workshops for 4 months. Deciding to come to this workshop has been one of the best decisions I have made. Not only am i learning the essential skills required to be a good actor, you also get to have a lot of fun. Gavin is helpful, passionate and knows how to motivate people. You also get to meet so many people of different backgrounds and different life experiences. You won't regret attending. ”

• “ There is something hypnotic about Gavin's workshops. He not only encourages you to put yourself out there, but he makes you enjoy it. I've seen people opening up, embracing self-expression like never before, smiling boldly. His feedback is always about growing and improving, it never feels diminishing. ”

• “ I feel lucky to have landed in Gavin's capable hands as he surely knows how to bring out the best in each person, which is extremely encouraging and motivating. His voice workshop was an absolute pleasure to attend. As a complete beginner, I left the workshop inspired, feeling more confident and excited to learn more with Gavin. Thank you for sharing your passion and for being so thoughtful and caring about your students! ”

• “ I have now attended a weekly acting workshop and the Diction workshop and would highly recommend both. Both sessions were great fun, but also informative and challenging. Gavin creates a wonderful supportive atmosphere that feels very safe and allows you to take risks. He is very encouraging and positive whilst challenging you to push yourself a little further. The group is also very supportive, friendly and very diverse. As someone who has been out of acting for some time and somewhat nervous of putting their toe back in the water, I was very relieved to have found this workshop. The Diction Workshop would be useful to both actors and non-actors looking to improve the quality of their speech. Lots of fun and Gavin makes individual diagnosis of the areas each member needs to work on and gives exercises for them to practise at home. Good, sound teaching in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. ”

Brilliant coaching, fun people, good atmosphere, it's always a pleasure to attend any of the Acting Gymnasium workshops whether it is to put on a play, work on your diction or learn more about the acting industry from Gavin, who's been part of the industry for a long time and is very knowledgeable and generous with his advice. I strongly recommend! ”

• “ A fun and productive workshop! I was interested in learning how to express myself better and be more engaging for work presentations. This workshop definitely was an interesting and fun way to learn more about my diction and receive feedback on how to improve it through voice coaching exercises. The final group acting exercise was also very fun and helped me connect with my artistic side which will be also useful to improve business presentations. Highly recommended! ”

The director managed to focus the group using voice and the Alexander Technique and harness the energy getting great results out of the actors. It was also really great fun. I'll definitely be back again. ”
