Linda Taimre is an experienced instructor and coach with a unique background: not only did she train at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, but she also has a degree in psychology. It's this combination of performance and psychology that makes Linda's coaching special. Her extensive acting experience in the UK and Australia means she knows the ins and outs...
So far so good. Understanding breahting helped my speaking voice a lot.
This was a really insightful course! I learned all I needed to learn and then some. I learned exercises, information on how to approach the text, and so many basic but necessary things. Just know going into this course that this is not a course you can simply whisk through. She does have exercises to do throughout the week, and to report back on. So this course will take time. That was the one aspect I wasn't prepared for. Just be sure not to lose focus in the time you're supposed to be working through the exercises and assignments. Great course!
Love this course, really great tips and advice!
The course so far has introduced body awareness and making intentional choices with your body which I know from my Movement for Theatre class back in college and the acting I do today to be of great importance.
The instructor speaks clearly but some of what she is saying feels a little repetitive although some of the reason I feel that way maybe because I hav already had acting training (including movement training) and experience acting in productions that not everyone taking this course has.
I am extremely frustrated with Udemy in particular, not because of the content of any of the courses, but because I am having problems that I can't seem to solve and I can't find a way to contact a live person or email to tell about it and get it resolved. I have no sound on any Udemy courses. It's not my computer or wifi connection, because everything but Udemy works fine. So the problem is with Udemy. Why don't you have an email clearly stated where I can get in touch? I love the courses and will be one of your best customers if you resolve this. Otherwise, I am out. Everything Udemy writes to me is 'no reply,' so the problem goes on. Frustrated, Joel Adams
The tongue twisters are so fun and have really helped my speaking voice.
amazing...thank you
Such a likeable lovely tutor, giving a LOT of value and clearly many years of experience in this course. I've taken a number of acting courses on Udemy and wish I'd found this first. You wont even realise how much value is given here until you've been in the profession a while. Thankyou to the tutor and definitely choose this course FIRST if you are looking to get into/ improve your acting. Thanks so much to the tutor :)
Excellent presentation skills and excellent content! Love it!
