"The classes addressed my particular needs impeccably. They challenged me by constantly re-calibrating the level of difficulty of each exercise. At times this proved irritating, annoying and exhausting. But it worked! For example, if I was able to make a particular speech well then I would be asked to do so again but with either a change of context or a marked increase in volume, urgency or emotion. Or, I might be asked to make the speech in support of a fresh objective; or combine two objectives and pursue them both.

"The feedback given was swift, accurate, informative; sometimes even sensitive (I'm only joking about the last, Selva!)

"My classes made me a better performer. I was able to gauge this and so were others. I had wanted to be more vocal and effervescent at work and I am now suitably equipped to be so. I work in business to business sales and have much experience and ability. However, this ability was enhanced considerably by the tuition I received from Selva. I am able to deploy a wider range of emotions, change the tempo with more dexterity and lead a pace more effectively. I project myself with more force and empathize more gracefully.

"I enjoyed being given the floor to perform before a critical audience; letting off steam on crazy Wednesday evenings. It was good to get acquainted with Shakespeare and Euripides too.

"I have never received any other drama tuition. I found Actors Space classes enormously beneficial. I think they achieved this by focusing directly on my objectives, delivering robust teaching and having acute perception that enabled them to be flexible when the need arose.

"Your objective is his objective: he listens to what you are seeking to achieve and then develops exercises that enable you to do so. If you adjust your needs he can accommodate you. He helps you to get the most out of yourself.

"Whether you are a budding thespian or just want to perform better on life's stage, Actors Space will show you how to develop your aptitude. The one-on-one (sometimes two-to-one) teaching means that you are able to achieve a great deal in each lesson. Prepare to arrive a little daunted and leave exhausted. With respect to effort he won't short-change you; nor will he let you short-change him.

"The degree I have started is 'Classics' i.e. Ancient Greek and Latin language and literature. I had done beginners' courses in each language over the last couple of years and wanted to take them both further. I should like to have more classes in the future when I have more free time."
