"I've done the first Foundations course with Tharan. I've taken a lot of group acting classes but had never had 1-2-1 coaching before. The personalised sessions are so valuable. I've developed some bad acting habits after years of being a 'theatre kid' and he's already helping me break them. The practical method he teaches is so refreshing. It's the first time in years that I've taken a 'beginning' acting class and got more out of it than just some fun. Definitely going back for the next course."

"I started the fundamentals course with Tharan at Southside performance studio as a complete beginner. With his experience & knowledge, the feedback he gives has been useful and constructive, while providing an encouraging and comfortable environment to learn in. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn and give acting a try."

"Southside Performance Studio's 1-2-1 acting classes have been a transformative experience for me. The instructors create such a welcoming, non-intimidating environment that it's been easy to shed the old habits I picked up in the 80s. Each session was personalised to my unique needs which has really helped build my confidence in a supportive setting. Highly recommend to take your acting to the next level."
