Taught by
a working Actor
Tim Franklin is a working actor with over 15 years across film, television and theatre.
You might know him as Colby Thorne in Home & Away (320 plus episodes). More recently he starred in David Leitch's The Fall Guy alongside Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, the Netflix #1 war epic Before Dawn, and Last King of the Cross opposite Callan Mulvey. Two features, Love Birds and Our Effed Up World, premiere in 2026.
Before starting his own studio, Tim taught at AFTRS, TAFTA and JMC.
He now works with some of the best in the business, including Jake Ryan, Travis Jeffery, Emily Weir and Sarah Roberts.
Recent wins: Jake Ryan's supporting role in War Machine, and Arlo Amos landing a scene alongside Tom Hanks.
His approach is simple. Make the work honest, not acted.

The Room
Every week, our community gathers to create, take risks, and explore the craft of truthful expression.
This is a screen acting studio, but it's not only for actors. Beginners train alongside working actors. It's for anyone wanting to feel more confident, emotionally available, and connected to their own voice.
The work: scene work, script analysis, camera technique, character development, and practical tools for screen performance. All on camera, every week.
Underneath it all, it's about expression. Learning to listen, respond, stop forcing emotion, and let something more truthful arrive.
The approach draws on Eric Morris, Meisner and Practical Aesthetics, built on radical gentleness: less pushing, more listening. Less performance, more presence.

TESTIMONIALS
The Word on the Street
★★★★★
I Worked with Tim for 2.5 years very closely. Tim brings a joy and sense of play to acting, which in my humble opinion is extremely important. After all, we are just playing, and you need to have fun whilst you navigate the highs and lows of the acting grind. His natural instinct and sense of calm while working has helped me immensely to loosen up and truly attempt to be in the moment, whether it’s on set or the countless self-tapes we have done together. Apart from his clear and present talent as an actor and coach, Tim is just pure joy to be around. Working with him is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, warm your heart, and improve your performance immensely.
