For Those Who Are Serious About the Craft
This programme is designed for intermediate and advanced performers — working actors, drama school applicants, and industry professionals who wish to sharpen their edge, deepen their technique, and walk into any audition room with complete command.
Whether you are preparing for a major drama school audition, developing your professional showreel, or seeking to expand your range across screen and stage, Perry Studio delivers training at the highest level.
"Training never stops. The finest performers in the world keep working, keep refining, keep discovering."
A Complete Curriculum for the Contemporary Actor
Projection, clarity, tone, resonance and expression. Build a voice that commands any space — stage, studio or screen.
Master a range of accents and dialects for stage and screen. An essential skill for the versatile, working professional.
Develop instinctive, in-the-moment performance. Improv technique that liberates creativity and deepens genuine listening.
Set plays, script analysis, character development and deep scene study. Build fully realised, truthful characters from the page.
Physicality, body language, and spatial awareness. The way you inhabit a space is as powerful as anything you say.
Walk into any room prepared. Cold reading strategies, self-tape technique, and audition craft for stage, film and television.
Rigorous textual analysis and scene work. Objectives, stakes, subtext — the architecture beneath every great performance.
Overcome performance anxiety, work with the lens, and deliver confident, nuanced performances in front of the camera.
The art of performance is generous. Develop deep listening, reactive presence, and the capacity to elevate every scene partner.
A rigorous grounding in the world's defining acting traditions. Students are introduced to the principles, history and application of acting methods — building a broad, intelligent foundation from which to draw in any role.
The Body Is the Instrument
Great acting is never only spoken. At Perry Studio, physical training is woven through every aspect of the curriculum — drawn from the traditions of the world's finest conservatoires and methods.
Students learn to inhabit their bodies with intention: to move with purpose, stillness with power, and presence that needs no words.
Alexander Technique

Viewpoints & Composition
Develop spatial intelligence, tempo, duration and shape — the language of physical storytelling on the contemporary stage.
Character Physicality
Build characters from the outside in. Learn how posture, gesture and rhythm reveal the interior life of every role you inhabit.
