About ETHAN

Hello, I'm Ethan McKinley
I TEACH - HOW TO AUDITION, DRAMA SCHOOL, SELF TAPE, SCREEN TEST, HOW TO FIND WORK, ABOUT AGENTS, HOW TO GET AN AGENT, HOW THE BUSINESS WORKS, AND HOW TO NAVIGATE AND MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY.
I'm a warm, friendly, expert communicator with tons of professional connections, and I will help you find your truth, your confidence, and your path. I have worked in all aspects of the business and can help create an effective path for students or professionals and become the best they can be. I also have years of experience living in Los Angeles, dealing with USA managers, agents, and auditioning in that high-pressure environment of film, television, and 'Pilot Season'. I am at your service with industry advice, and I aim to build confidence and performance techniques. And teach you how. Let's take the next step together.

About the lesson

I will show you the practical, no-nonsense approach to acting. I love helping people and putting them on the path to success. To build confidence and learn how to give the best performance they can. As your Tutor / Manager
£25 ONLINE [£30 In-Person] LESSONS AND CONSULTATIONS :

- AUDITION HELP - Theatre/Film/Television
- DRAMA SCHOOL - How to get in
- CAREER ADVICE - What steps to take: From zero experience to professional level
- WHERE TO START - Getting Started or Re-Entering The Business after a break
- HEADSHOTS - Finding the right way to present yourself with the right photographer.
- SHOWREELS - How to build a good, impactful showreel and where to start

I also have a network of friends and colleagues at the top of business who can also give fantastic help and advice as you embark on your journey with my program.
I am here to help you make the right steps to shorten the journey time to success.
It's a tough business, and many actors quit because they don't know where to start or don't make the correct or consistent moves to get ahead.
This IS a hard business. But with correct coaching and pushing, we can close the gap between luck and opportunity.
I invest personally with all my students, and it's important that you feel the progression and achievement.

IF THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY WANNA DO. GREAT THINGS CAN BE ACHIEVED.

Perfect! I have been having lessons with Ethan since August and it’s been absolutely amazing! He’s a great actor and teacher. Thanks to him I’m slowly but surely gaining confidence and moving forward with the dream of acting! I’ve had multiple photo shoots done and auditions as well in the span of 5 months. He helps with EVERY SINGLE STEP that needs to be taken. He’s really friendly and open and I 100% recommend him to everyone who’s looking into acting!

ETHAN's response
ABDUL came with no prior experience and has made great progress in 9 months, being cast in 2 short films and 1 commercial. The next step is continued training and booking more acting jobs, working toward getting an agent with some industry training.

Ethan has been amazing in helping me with my voice-over work as well as giving me very insightful tips regarding character building for my theatre performances. I feel more confident when performing now and feel a deeper connection to the characters im playing. If you're just starting out with acting or already have some experience and just want to fine tune your skills, I'd definitely recommend Ethan.
