Comments from
previous
participants of this course:
I just
completed the week long camera
acting workshop in the Lab.,
Dublin. I can honestly say that I've never gotten more out of a course.
Graham is not only a great teacher but a real Actor's Director. Thanks
to him, everyone felt totally comfortable in that space to just go for
it and perform. For our last day we shot original show reel scenes on
location around Dublin. I'd recommend FVL to anyone. As a result of the
course I feel I'm a better actor and my approaches to character work
has changed forever.
Sharon Sutton
The 5 day workshop was brilliant to do, enjoyed every minute of it.
Great environment, got so much out of the course. I learned a lot about
giving truthful and realistic performances, I felt it was the best
acting course I have ever done. Graham has the ability to bring out the
best in every actor. I would love to work with him again in the future,
and would recommend the course to anybody.
Mark Connolly
Just spent the last week doing Grahams course acting for camera. Was
one of the best weeks I've done in long time. Anybody 'thinking' of
doing the course in the future should stop thinking and DO IT.
Stephen Kelly
Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thanks a mill. I signed up
for the workshop because I knew I would learn from you, but never
thought I would learn so much in such a short space of time! Your
passion is completely infectious and I enjoyed every minute of the
course. Your intelligent and insightful approach to teaching is
inspiring and your inherent ability to get the best out of everyone is
exceptional. It's been a pleasure and I hope I'll get the opportunity
to work with you in the future.
Lisa Tyrell
Thank you very much for a wonderful course. I really enjoyed
it
and got a huge amount out of it. It was so intelligently
structured and thoughtfully delivered that it
allowed
me to relax completely and be able to take a chance in this
new camera area. The clear directions were essentially simple and
'do-able' - and I could see when they worked. It gives me a new
personal baseline for working with camera. Hopefully I'll get to
workshop or work with you again. In the meantime, many many thanks.
Phil Kelly
I loved doing the course and you're a great teacher/director with a lot
of love for the work and a lot of knowlege so I will be definitely be
recommending you to Everyone!!
Emma Roche
Spent
the last week doing Graham
Cantwell's acting for camera course,
can't recommend it enough!! Graham has all the traits that makes a
great teacher, bucket loads of patience, understanding and a passion
for what he does. He's truly inspiring and lets face it, its not
everyday an actor gets to work with a Director like him.
Damien O'Donnell
The workshop was a delight. Graham creates an environment where you
feel comfortable to take risks, make mistakes and ultimately become a
better actor. He can effortlessly get any actor to stop
‘acting’ and start living a life on camera. His
message is
simple – YOU are enough. Inspiring, freeing and completely
terrifying! He has changed my perception of acting.
Theresa McCarthy
I'm delighted to have participated in the 5 day workshop. Graham has
the ability to bring out the best in an actor and make them feel
completely comfortable. He also teaches how to deliver truthful and
realistic performances. Graham's workshop is by far the best I have
ever attended.
Layla O'Sullivan
I cannot recommend Graham's Film Acting workshop highly enough. Whether
you are starting out or have a bit of experience, you will benefit from
this workshop. It is evident that Graham is passionate about what he
does, and imparts his experience wholeheartedly. You learn from
watching others as well as doing your own work. Graham is there to
point out your weaknesses, and encourage your strengths. If you are
serious about wanting to learn and implement this information, this
workshop is for you.
Lesa Thurman
Thank you so much for such an enjoyable week, I had been wanting to
part take in an acting for camera course for a very very long time and
I am so glad I fell upon yours. The non judgemental environment allowed
for trial and error and easy going, honest analysis which is just what
I needed! Normally I'm trying to get it right for audition purposes
where there is really no room for messing it up and there also isn't
the opportunity to look back over it and see where I can do better. I
hope now to take your feedback, information and advice with me, along
with what I have learned from the great group of people I met on the
course and put it to some good use in the future! Thank you so much for
sharing your experiences and knowledge and I wish you all the very best
in your future endeavours!
Andrea Crowe
Once again, thanks for your wonderful course. I really enjoyed it and
found you a great, encouraging, informative, fun teacher. Hopefully, I
will get to do more courses with you in the future.
