ACTING coach Hilary Pezet has launched an exciting new initiative for budding young performers.

The Pezet Actors Studio is a professional actor training organisation specialising in working with talented young performers and actors who want to continue developing their performance skills.

Set up in association with Kendal College and The Box, Kendal, Hilary said the actors studio will focus on high quality training and performance for talented young actors from across the county.

“It results from many years’ experience of working as an acting coach with individual actors in London and Manchester,” she added.

“Particularly exciting is the collaboration with Kendal College at The Box, as well as future potential projects with the Brewery Arts Centre and its youth theatre, and the Old Laundry Theatre.”

Hilary is well-known in the region’s theatre circles as both actor and Kendal College drama coach, inspiring, guiding and bringing out the best in many fledging performers.

She has an MA in actor training and coaching from London’s Central School of Speech and Drama.

The first PAS specialised course is an audition training ‘boot camp,’ which will guide potential drama school applicants through the many do’s and don’ts of auditioning for leading conservatoire acting schools.

“Having sat on various audition panels and supported young actors through the process I know how difficult it can be auditioning for the top organisations from RADA to Central,” continued Hilary. “Developing vital skills and knowledge can make the difference between recall or rejection.”

Boot camp is on December 7/8 at The Box. Places are limited in order to work in detail with the young actors.
