TV & FILM SCHOOL
The ethos for the TV & Film School is the same as our Camera ready Events. Students will meet for a one day workshop once per month. Each monthly session will be unique and stand alone meaning that actors can take one session or book ahead so they benefit from learning continuously each month. The sessions are targeted to develop an understanding of the industry's structure, roles, and trends.
Our sessions blend creativity, storytelling, technology, skills and know-how to inspire and empower. On camera work establishes a relationship with the camera in order to make your characters believable and captivating. You will always work on camera for your scene work and have a chance to watch it back. Creating a set by yourselves with what is available in that location and session will inspire you step into not just the character when shooting an audition tape but to consider the characters environment and circumstances whilst engaging in the scene.
Through our hands on sessions, interactive classes and immersive experiences, children, teenagers and young adults will explore the magical worlds of filmmaking through:-
Character study
Character development,
Accents
Scene study
Emotional connection
Physical acting
Understanding direction and adjustments
On camera skills
Behind the camera skills
The business of acting
Holistic practices of meditation, mindfulness and manifestation
It is a tough industry however we can navigate it positively and supportively together.
We will get back to you with all of the details for the event or workshop. Some courses require an audition tape, which we would request at that time. Once we have everything back, a deposit is due and then you booked onto the course.
It's the day of the workshop! We can't wait to have a lot of fun and learn many new techniques and tips. New friends are always made and memories for a lifetime!
-Nuala Childs
A great opportunity to develop your acting skills and technique. It is always a fun experience. As well developing your acting skills, there are opportunities to learn what it is like to work behind the scenes and how movies and TV shows are made. Learning all aspects of the film making process, including camera angles, lighting, sound, location set up and directing. A true recommendation to anyone who loves to act and wants to gain experience and learn from professionals in a truly inspiring environment. I have gained invaluable knowledge and confidence as well as friends! The team are incredible, very supportive, enthusiastic and they truly love what they do. I cannot recommend this enough.

Good morning,
I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for an amazing 3 day experience for Frank. We know how much hard work and preparation went into the 3 day Camera Ready Event.
Frank absolutely loved the three days and every day he came out on a high. He has learnt so much which will be invaluable for his acting journey going forward.
It was also lovely for him to meet Carol after virtual classes etc.
We also enjoyed visiting Liverpool which was a bonus for us.
-Seren Basu
I joined the 3 day workshop in Liverpool this summer but was completely new to Camera Ready Events. I was so nervous walking through the doors for the first time and knowing no one, but Carol and the team could not have been more supportive, smiley and welcoming.
Being a part of the cast and crew to make a short movie was so exciting. The whole experience was really special, and honestly I feel it’s super charged my confidence and passion to carry on with what I love to do, knowing I am enough. Thank you, Seren

Working with Camera Ready has been an incredible experience! Carol,
Lauren, and the entire team bring such professionalism, creativity,
and passion to every project. They made the process seamless and
enjoyable from start to finish. I’m beyond excited to see the final
film, and I can’t recommend Camera Ready highly enough!
- Rebecca Taylor, Bea's mum
Hey Carol,
I just wanted to drop a quick message just to say thank you. I'm sure many have said this before, but not only is the acting coaching you provide for Bea so wonderful but the support and positive energy, the words of advice, praise and understanding you give to Bea as a young girl is truly remarkable. You praise the person she is and acknowledge the troubles and difficulties she may be facing with such empathy, encouragement and positivity, that she always leaves your lessons with a positive outlook, no matter what kind of day she has had up to that point. So thank you. x
-Deb Talent - Los Angeles
Carol we love you! Thank you so much for all you do seriously. I can see improvements already. I wish I took all of my clients to you sooner. But with your help we will succeed.
Go team!

-Kelly Stewart - Hollyoaks / Denis & Gnasher Unleashed (Emmy Nominated)
Carol has coached me for many years from my time working as a series regular on Hollyoaks to creating characters and helping me find my feet in the animation world on our Emmy nominated CBBC show. My career wouldn’t be where it is today without her passionate guidance. I can’t recommend her enough.
-Oliver Bell - Salem / West World / The Magicians / Once Upon a Time
What I love about Carol is that she prepares you for an audition or when you are onset in a way that gives you so much confidence. Onset she is calm and funny and whispers little tips to you. She makes acting fun and helps you see who the characters are and how they fit into the scenes which helps give the director what they want on screen.
Andrea Basu - Seren's mum
Dear Carol & Lauren,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourselves, Liz & Dickie for giving Seren such a brilliant experience and learning opportunity this weekend.
The care and attention you gave to all the young people was so visible and genuine, which as a parent means a great deal.
