I’ve been at RAaW for many years

I’ve been at RAaW for many years, having joined as a child, and they have single handedly created what was a casual dream of being an actor into believing whole heartedly that i am able to achieve what i always wished doing. They have a beautifully unique insight in acting methodology, with top level training every week in the form of Robbi and Abbie, and established guest coaches. Besides that, RAaW becomes a family of dedicated individuals who push me and eachother to be the best versions of ourselves, and i don’t know where id be without the relationships that i’ve built in these years.
Truly changed my life

The training

The training, love and support you get from Raaw is incomparable to other places. Once you start at Raaw you learn so much about the craft and about yourself as a person. If you are seriously looking to pursue an acting career and you want to push yourself to another level, Raaw is definitely the place for you.

Fantastic, formative & professional.

A truly fantastic and formative experience on both a personal level and in terms of my acting ability. I would wholeheartedly recommend RAaW for anyone that wants to take their acting seriously and be prepared for the industry.

A Creative Home

RAaW was a creative home for me for 4 years. I started training there when I was 15 and I what I learnt was invaluable. Every box was ticked for me and the lessons learnt there have helped me a lot in my acting career thus far. We had the opportunity to film scenes for our showreel which helped a lot with making us visible to all casting directors and other industry professionals. We also performed in a theatre every year which helped get our names out there and enable us to get seen for projects. All in all, I fully recommend RAaW to anybody that’s looking for a fully rounded training experience with teachers that care about your progress.

I wouldn’t be who I am without RAaW

RAaW isn’t just an acting school, it’s a place where you are seen and heard and truly cared for. The relationships I have made are for life. I have been pushed to places I didn’t think I could reach, even after I finished training. If you give 100% you will get 200% back, the amount of support and tireless energy teachers at RAaW put into you is incredible.

Through my two years I did a number of short films and performances which then led to collaborating with the founder of RAaW to make a huge film (The Nightingale Film) about certain issues in society, the film was created alongside my training at RAaW and contained after I graduated and after 2 years of hard work it’s being entered into film festivals globally this year. I had never been involved in something to this scale before and to be able to be involved in so many aspects of the film such as writing, directing, auditioning as well as playing the lead character was an experience I will always hold close to my heart. Myself, Robbi (founder and director) and Abbie (producer) worked side by side to make magic. Always listening and respecting one another’s input and intuition.

Overall joining RAaW has been the best time of my life and I wish I could have stayed forever but of course it wouldn’t be RAaW if they didn’t make you spread your wings and leave the nest.

Thank you, RAaW

RaAW is to thank for so much of my personal development. Aside from the excellent acting training, the high standards that we were held to regarding professionalism provided me with invaluable lessons and habits that I've naturally implemented into every part of my life as an adult. Congratulations on the move to Southwark - can't wait to see what the team gets up to next!

Your creativity is not only valued but essential

Not only was the training extremely personalised and life changing, but my experience with RAaW films was crucial to my skills as an actor. Particularly, 'The Nightingale.' As well as being cast in the film as one of the supporting leads, I was able to input and brainstorm ideas for the script and my ideas were always considered/platformed. I really felt heard and supported as both a creative and an actor, which is so important.

A place you can call home

RAaW, is an integral part of training if you’re an actor. Their values in treating everyone with love and respect, not only encourages you to open up your vessel to improve your acting, but as a person too. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without RAaW. It’s definitely my home away from home. It’s a community and family filled with love, trust and respect. Robbi and Abbie are amazing with pushing you as far as you can go, while also nurturing and loving you at the same time. The people who train there, demonstrate unconditional love for each other. I am forever thankful for my 5 years there.

They also give you amazing advice, about the industry that you don’t get taught anywhere else! Examples include; talking to agents, keeping the diaphragm healthy, emotional regulation and loads more! Thanks to RAaW’s training, they have given me the courage to look for my own work, and not just relying on my agent. In the past year since I graduated, I’ve booked multiple short films and a leading role in a theatre show. I wouldn’t have had the confidence, without RAaW’s training.

If you want to experience the epitome of high quality training and healing, RAaW is the best for you!

My daughter loved Raaw…!

My daughter attended Raaw for a number of years.
She loved attending each week and doing the shows.
She gained many valuable skills at Raaw but it was her amazing confidence and speaking skills that enabled her to thrive both in and out of school.

RAaW has not only shaped me as an actor…

RAaW has not only shaped me as an actor but as a person. As the classes are no larger than 15, you get a personal/intimate experience that you might not be able to get at other schools. I’ve learnt the importance of being a team player and thinking for the company rather than getting sucked into the idea of what an ‘actor’ is. You feel apart of a community that’s invested in your growth and talent. I haven’t seen or been to anything like it.

What I experienced at RAaw

What I experienced at RAaw, I couldn't get anywhere else. The training alone is fantastic but everything that also came with it was the icing on the cake. They've helped me build my confidence as an actor and a person. Being represented by them for all these years has given opportunities I never believed I would experience. I trust that the agencies they've helped me to look into can help me as much as they have. Finally the last thing I will say, is that if you put your heart and soul into the work you do here and if you trust them and their process. Everything you experience will be worth it.
