Expert training in a caring environment — with guaranteed stage time in a professional theatre.
“At True Talent Theatre School, we believe every child deserves the chance to shine.
We combine expert training in acting, singing, and dance with a supportive, family feel that helps students grow in skill and confidence.
All of our students are featured in our productions — from songs and dances to speaking parts — with guaranteed stage time.
Alongside our theatre programme, we also offer dedicated Screen Acting classes. These sessions give students the chance to develop on-camera technique, audition preparation, and self-tape skills.
Led by experienced professionals, and with access to our casting agency, our classes nurture creativity, build confidence, and develop real performance skills — all in a safe and encouraging environment.”
Emma Ashton, Principal
Theatre School
Our theatre school offers training in the three core disciplines — acting, singing, and dance. In acting, students develop voice, movement, improvisation, and script work, learning how to bring characters to life. Singing lessons focus on vocal technique, pitch, breathing, and musical expression, while dance training builds coordination, rhythm, and confidence in a range of styles. Together, these skills give students a strong foundation for performance. Classes are lively, structured, and supportive, helping children improve their craft, build confidence, and enjoy the excitement of performing with others in a creative team.
Screen Acting
Screen Acting focuses on the specific techniques needed for film and television performance. Students learn how to act truthfully in close-up, hit their marks, and adjust their energy for the camera. Sessions cover audition skills, self-tape preparation, working with scripts, and building natural, believable performances. We also introduce students to industry practices, from on-set etiquette to technical awareness of cameras, sound, and lighting. This training is ideal both for students who want to complement their stage skills with on-screen experience, and for those who are most interested in drama for film and TV.
Casting
Alongside our training, True Talent runs a dedicated Spotlight registered casting agency for invited students who wish to work in the professional industry. We regularly submit our young performers for stage, screen, modelling, and commercial opportunities, working with respected production companies and brands. Recent successes include national television commercials, modelling campaigns, and live theatre such as the Polar Express experience. Being part of our agency gives students the chance to take their first steps into professional work, with the guidance and support of a team who knows them well.
