A*, ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE DONE
The Villain acting course with Mahesh Jadu exceeded all my expectations. Superb value. Not only was the tuition so finely tuned and dialed in, making excellent use of the precious time we had, it gave me unexpected insights into the emotional intelligence needed to portray any character truthfully and believably. I now feel I can approach any character and any scene and find the truth and meaning and authenticity in it. Even to see someone elses perspective in life.
Mahesh's experience as an actor and his overwatcher's eye when it comes to direction, is evident immediately in his method and 'less is more' approach. I not only feel I learned how to dissect the scripts we were given, but any script I will be given in future. The toolset and techniques we received are so valuable and immediately actionable, I know I will apply them to tease out the emotional threads hidden behind any script and any character text.
It was also some of the most fun I have had in a long time and the GIANT cherry on the cake (if not a cake in and of itself) was having our scenes professionally shot and edited by a crew into a showreel at the end. On set Mahesh's direction gave me what I needed to get the most out of and make the most out of my scenes. And I'm thrilled with the result.
Whether you are a new actor, trying this for fun as an experience, or a seasoned professional, the depth and subtlety to Mahesh's approach and the quality and calibre of what is taught is such incredible value for money. Truly.
I wish it was 4 times longer. I enjoyed every minute and was captivated through each class which were an expert blend of theory and practice. And while filming a professional showreel at the end is a wonderous climax to the whole experience and something that sets the Marbella Filmschool apart from its contemporaries, it's a bitter sweet end as I am already craving more, and more.
I watched many of the actors on the course get visibly and noticeably better under Mahesh's guidance in a matter of days. Everyone's acting junped by orders of magnitude and to have that skill captured in a showreel at the end is the best way I know of to can land you future roles as you will undoubtedly produce some of your best work here.
Do it. Whether you act, or not, it's a fabulous experience and an enjoyable exploration of your own personality and its full spectrum of moral capacity and layers.
Already looking forward to...
Read moreIf you are thinking in acting studies look no further Marbella Film School is your first choise. We team up with Marbella Film School in several projects during the last couple of years. It was a great pleasure to work with Nicole Moerland, actress and founder of Marbella Film School. Honest, creative and collaborative always ready for action (and solutions). Through the years she had trained actors from all nationalities. From Perth, Australia to Marbella, Spain years of experience make Nicole´s agenda worth gold (Nicole was fortunate to work with some of the world’s most talented actors including legendary Dutch actor Rutger Hauer, as well as director Peter Yates). The Marbella Film School students had the privilege of having great masterclass teachers such Mahesh Jadu (Marco Polo, The Witcher or Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) who started as student with Nicole at Perth Film School back in 2016); director and producer Jet Wilkinson (Warrior Nun, Wu-Tang: An American Saga or Daredevil tv series) or the young actor Fred Pritchard (Warrior Nun and...
Read moreI wish I could put a zero. A zero star really represent what this school is all about. Ladies and gentlemen, acting school are a trap for any inspiring actors. We all have the same goal as actors but an impossible task. We are blinded by hopes and broken dreams. You want to become an actor go out there, do as many audition as possible. When it comes to the teacher, Nicole lacks professionalism when it comes to the approach of the class. Adult class are 2 hours long when in reality a full on 30 minutes class. Nicole talks a lot about her achievements and a lot less of practical in class. Promises a said but not met. We are promised to meet a casting agent since November. A total scam for any inspiring adult actors. Life is already hard enough for any of us, do not sugar coat us. I could go on and on about this school, let me just end it with this. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU ARE TRULY PASSIONATE ABOUT ACTING. P.s It’s more a scam...
