Led by former professional actor, director, producer, screenwriter and voice-over artist Richard Lindsell, the training draws on real industry experience, balancing technical discipline with practical application in a focused and supportive class environment.

Classes are based in Thirroul, Northern Suburbs of Wollongong (NSW)

  • This class is the highlight of my week! Richard does a wonderful job at fostering a safe space to have fun and grow as actors. He's an extremely knowledgable and encouraging teacher and is really passionate about his craft, which rubs off on us!

  • Learning from Richard has been one of the highlights of my acting journey. There are teachers who simply teach techniques, and then there are teachers who help you truly understand the craft. Richard is one of the latter. From the very first session, I felt welcomed into an environment that is supportive and genuinely inspiring. Every class has challenged me to step outside my comfort zone while also, importantly, feeling safe enough to take creative risks. What I appreciate most is the depth of knowledge and care that Richard brings. He is always available inside and outside class if you have questions. The feedback Richard provides has always been thoughtful and constructive. Since taking these classes, I've noticed a real improvement in both my confidence and my understanding of acting as a craft, and I thank this to the way that Richard teaches. You can tell he genuinely understands the craft, and he communicates it in a way that is both insightful and easy to understand. I've had many 'Aha!' moments, thanks to his methods. Richard also has a way of bringing the students in class together that enables you to feel like you're all on the same team which is another level of support. I'm genuinely grateful to be learning here and I look forward to every class. It's been a wonderful experience and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting to develop as an actor in the Wollongong or Sydney region. So happy to be here early on & can't wait to see how the The Actors Class grows.

  • Richard is a fantastic teacher/acting coach, and makes the course an enjoyable experience as well as informative, due to his wealth of knowledge and experience. As an amateur actor, just starting out at my age of 51, it's been a great way to experience the fundamentals of becoming an actor.

    - Mick M

  • Richard has such a rich knowledge of acting, his enthusiasm is infectious. Highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to expand in their acting skills, or even just to improve their confidence.
