Young performers in Warrington have the opportunity to develop their acting skills with professional actor and teacher Richard Allen, who is bringing his experience of stage and performance to classes at FAME Creative Talent.
Based in Warrington, FAME Creative Talent provides performing arts training for children and young people, with classes covering acting, singing, musical theatre and performance. Richard's addition to the teaching team strengthens the acting programme, giving young performers the opportunity to explore both traditional stage acting and the skills required for acting on camera.
Professional Background
Richard studied Musical Theatre at Warrington Collegiate before continuing his training at Rose Brufeld College, where he completed a BA in Acting. Since graduating, he has worked professionally as an actor, appearing in established and original stage productions and portraying a wide variety of characters across different genres.
Rather than focusing solely on learning scripts, students are encouraged to understand character development, storytelling, movement, emotion and the different techniques required to create convincing performances.
Stage and Screen Skills
Acting has expanded considerably as opportunities for young performers have grown across theatre, television, film and digital media. At FAME Creative Talent, Richard's acting sessions explore performance for both stage and camera, helping students understand the differences between the two disciplines.
Stage acting can require greater projection, physical expression and an awareness of a live audience, while acting for camera often calls for more subtle expressions and an understanding of how a performance appears through the lens.
Students can develop skills including characterisation, script work, improvisation, stagecraft, acting for camera, audition preparation and self-tapes.
LAMDA Examination Preparation
Richard brings considerable experience of preparing young performers for LAMDA examinations. His teaching has covered disciplines including Acting, Musical Theatre, Shakespeare and Mime, with students achieving distinction-level results.
Class Details
Acting classes at FAME Creative Talent run on Mondays from 7pm to 8pm. The organisation welcomes students with different levels of experience and ambition, whether they dream of appearing on stage or screen, want to prepare for LAMDA examinations, or simply want to build confidence and creativity.
