What Our Students and Parents Say
Testimonials from our students and their families, sharing the joy and growth they’ve experienced with Cherry Pips Acting.
ONLINE
“Since starting to work with Lucy at Cherry Pips, initially for 1:2:1 coaching for audition prep and recently the online monologue course, my daughters confidence and skills have improved immensely. She only decided she wanted to try to get into the acting industry just under a year ago and Since then has already landed a lead role in a feature film , something I just don’t think would have happened without Lucy’s support. The sessions are well planned and structured to suit the age range and the 1:1 sessions are tailored to suit my daughters individual needs. I couldn’t recommend them enough! “

“Cherry Pips acting class in Manchester City centre on a Saturday afternoon has been the best choice we made. He was originally represented by another agent and that was fine, then we moved to Cherry Pips sister agency a year later. He has learned so much about screen acting and loves meeting his friends in class weekly and he’s learning skills to enhance his life moving forward. It’s great value for money too. Everyone’s so passionate about acting and I loved watching him on stage at last year’s showcase, I was so proud of him and in awe of the Young talent in all classes.
Try it and see, you’ve nothing to lose. “

“The classes haven’t only helped my acting skills but they’ve also helped me gain more confidence within myself and 6 years ago I could never imagine being vulnerable infront of people, let alone a camera.My friends I’ve made are truly the most supportive people I’ve ever met. I’m excited every Saturday to go to the classes as it’s such a fun environment. There’s a mixture of seriousness and playfulness which I think is really important to help people come out of their shell. Over all, going to these classes was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
