Red Lens

Really fantastic experience. I was warmly welcomed both by the host and by the other participants and quickly felt integrated to the group.We had so much fun learning new and effective techniques and skills in enjoyable and practical ways that helped to cement the learning.A brilliant, energised and safe atmosphere where everyone felt supported to get stuck in and give each activity a try, with no sense of being unduly exposed. Well worth the time and money you invest.

I went to my first Actors Gym session last night. Shireena ensured that everyone in the room was included. She created a safe and fun space for actors to play. I will definitely attend again.

Great venue and passionate teacher for acting exercise. The way to go to improve the nerve for public speaking.

I took part in Red Lens's Actors G.Y.M recently, on Wednesday 6th July, and I have nothing but great things to say about it. Shireenah made me feel very comfortable and at ease within the class, and I could see others were as well. The class started with a focus, 'Purpose', and we were asked what springs to mind when we think of this. The whole session had 'Purpose' at the centre, and through acting games and improvisation, Shireenah helped us to see how this can be worked in to our characterisation & scenes.Shireenah is professional, experienced, competent and confident. If you are new to acting, or looking to sharpen your skills, then The Actors G.Y.M is highly recommended!

I was very nervous as I did not know anybody, but Shireenah and everybody else made me feel extremely welcome and I settled in immediately. I would definitely recommend this acting class as it gave me the opportunity to perform in front of a camera, which is what I was looking for. If you decide to attend this class, you will not be disappointed!

As a beginner to acting, I’m very grateful to have Shireenah as one of my first teachers. Her class is not only informative, but enjoyable, as you are allowed to be creative.This professional, but relaxed approach creates an environment which ensures that each session is something to look forward to. So I highly recommend Red Lens to Actors at any stage.

I had the privilege to attend a Red Lens class a week ago as we were filming content of Shireenah's class for our new podcast show, Reel Talk.The class was a lot of fun with other like minded people who have a passion for acting.Shireenah will make you feel relaxed and put you at ease instantly.Her classes are so much fun, playing warm up games and putting you in the right mindset to using skills to help you concentrate which come in handy when you are in an acting scene with someone.Her knowledge of the industry and applying new tools through your craft when in an acting scenario are priceless.Everyone gets a lot out of these classes and I certainly enjoyed my time there.If you want to join the best acting class in Birmingham then Shireenah and Red Lens are the one.

I had my first session recently and I had a lot of fun. Shireenah is kind and welcoming. Everyone was included and encouraged to step out of their comfort zones. The activities were varied, engaging, and insightful. Shireenah creates space for everyone to be heard and acknowledged. It was a worthwhile experience and I am keen to attend more sessions!

I was super nervous before I went to the Actors G.Y.M class but once I got there I had a great time! Everyone was so lovely and welcoming, you also feel very relaxed in the class. All the activities that we did were super helpful and you also get to learn from the other people around you. I would definitely recommend to those wanting to start their acting journey!
