May Acting Class with Claire Marlowe

4, 11 & 18 May
There is no Acing Class on Monday 25 May

Emmie

These classes with go back to basics and focus on breath control, diction and clarity. If we can't be heard - there is no story to tell! Also the importance of vocal health and how the actor looks after their voice. Claire trained in voice at The Royal Academy of Music and has years of knowledge on this matter. We will also work on being still and truthful - even when playing larger than life or flamboyant characters. Layering all our work together to find our performance.

For those of you that like to sing - we will also explore some acting through song and how we treat the text as a monologue and tell the story.

Claire Marlowe began her professional career at seven. A lifelong actor with credits spanning the West End, UK and international tours, television and film. She brings depth and resilience and is passionate about being a team player.

Still actively working, Claire has a current understanding of the industry and how it’s evolving — from the realities of modern casting to the demands of sustaining a long-term creative career.

Alongside performing, she has taught for 25 years, championing simplicity, truth and fearless play. Her work cuts through over-acting and over-thinking, guiding actors back to instinct, clarity and connection. With a strong focus on text and subtext, she equips performers to create work that is honest, grounded and alive.
