WHO WILL TEACH ME?

The course will be taught by the founder and Principal and Founder of the Academy, Fay Beck. and senior teacher Martina Avogadri.

Fay developed the technique to give actors a way to access deep emotions and truthful behaviour that did not require the actor to be put through psychological strain.

Martina is an actress and recently starred in Neflix’s Lift and The Diplomat. She has 2 films coming in 2025.

WHAT IS BEATTM?

The Beck Emotional Access Technique (BEATTM) is a revolutionary new method for training actors. Based on cutting edge theories in the Neuroscience of Emotion and Emotion Psychology, the method is a safe, practical and intuitive method to create truthful behaviour and to reach deep genuine emotions.
I recently graduated from the Beck Academy of Dramatic Arts and it was the best experience. Fay and Martina are incredibly knowledgable, friendly and get the best out of their students. I developed skills that have really transformed me and my character acting. Would 100% recommend if you are serious about becoming an actor.
