Testimonials
Just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you taught me in that workshop. It was the best acting class I have ever had and I learnt so much.
Scott Chambers
Thank you Mel, and thank you for a really great couple of days. I really like your perspective on acting, and found letting go of 'trying' and allowing oneself to 'be' in the imaginary circumstances instead, to be really helpful. I will continue to let the thoughts come to me in the moment, as if for the first time.
Kelly Bennett
Actually, I want to thank you for these illuminating days. It's not exclusively the good structure and the helpful advice you gave, it's also the way you used to give them. A very empathic and lively way that came out of an ease of mind. That was great for me. The next day after our workshop I “stumbled” in a big rehearsal working with two colleagues and my inner rucksack was full of the experiences and the power of the days before. I felt a big ease when I was acting and that affected me. Everything felt more direct and lighter although it was a deeply moving scene. I trusted more!
