What We Teach

Our classes teach children and teenagers the skills they need to thrive in life. The drama classes are designed to equip your child with confidence, the ability to stand up and speak in front of an audience, to put forward their points clearly and intelligently, to comprehensive screen acting skills, covering everything from the basics to advanced techniques.

Juniors and Inters

Our classes for those in Reception to Year 5 focus on learning valuable core life skills including having confidence and self belief, the ability to speak in front of others and raise points clearly and articulately, to use their imaginations and creativity, to work with others and form friendships, to celebrate the success’ of one another and to learn empathy and emotional intelligence through thoughts, feelings, poems, scripts and stories. We do all of this in a fun, exciting way and our children leave our classes filled with self-belief with huge smiles on their faces.

Seniors and Advanced

Our classes for those students in year 6 and above, is where we get a little more serious while still focusing on our core values taught in the younger classes. You can expect to be working with scripts from television and film covering serious emotional scenes as well as adventure, action and comedy. Our tutors use audition scripts from shows like Waterloo Road, Adolescence and major movies. The Articulate teachers work with students on acting style and delivery of lines, use of pause, reaction, creating light and shade in the performance, making the performance varied and interesting, naturalism, use of accents and nuanced delivery. How to create and film a perfect self-tape audition is covered regularly, as well as improvisation. The classes are described as having a real ‘buzz’ in them- where everyone is welcomed, accepted and everyone is there for the same reasons. Students leave the class with a real excitement and passion and friendships are often continued outside of the classes.

My son had no real hobbies or interests and spent his spare time acting out YouTube videos. We eventually persuaded him to try acting classes and he absolutely loved it! He had finally found something he was really good at with people he liked being with. He has met lots of new friends through his acting classes and the wider agency and has really grown in confidence. It literally changed his life, he now has a passion and a self-belief that he didn't have before.

We’re now in our second year with Articulate Drama School and my daughter absolutely loves it. She started as a very shy girl, but the teachers are so patient and encouraging that her confidence has grown hugely – she now has no problem getting up, acting and speaking in front of others. Really grateful for the support they give the children.

My daughter absolutely LOVES her screen acting lessons with Articulate. The teachers are so friendly and professional and teach her all the skills she needs to help with her chosen career in acting. Her confidence has grown massively since starting and she is encouraged every session to be the best she can be. The office staff are so helpful and always so efficient with communication too. Could not recommend these classes enough!
