I’m Acting Coach Rory Feeney and I’ve been training actors at the world’s top Drama Schools internationally and privately for 25 years. I work with actors at all levels and ages, from complete novices trying to gain a place at Drama School to accomplished professionals preparing an audition for a feature film, and with material ranging from commercials to epic Shakespearean tragedies. I also work as a Dialect Coach, teaching actors who want to work with different accents and helping non-native English speakers to be more clearly understood.
Whether I’m working with accents or acting I try to ensure that the methods I am using are transparent and will be easily understood by my clients.
Much of the last 10 years has been spent developing a new and refreshingly clear approach to actor training, the A.R.T. System, which has at its core the Action-Response-Thought cycle. This has culminated in the publishing of a new book, ‘Introduction to the A.R.T Acting System’; although this started as a framework for teaching an acting course it is now available to students as well as course leaders.
