Miss Amy Shone

Hello everybody, I am Miss Amy! I started Let’s Act in Doncaster 14 years ago then Clapham six years ago!

Professionally I was lucky to gain representation with Mark Jermin (the agency I use for the Let’s Act children) when I was younger and IAG as an adult. I have appeared in commercials for Microsoft, Garnier and Bet Victor.

I am a qualified speech teacher having gained my Licentiate Qualification from Trinity London (LTCL) in teaching speech and drama. During this time, I specialised in American Texts, Stanislavsky Technique, Building Confidence through Speech and Teaching Children with Communication Issues. I also studied in depth the work of Viola Spolin, many of her improvisation techniques we use in class to build the children’s confidence.

I Love Let’s Act because it is a place where everyone can just be themselves and have fun!

Miss Emma S

Hello! My name is Miss Emma and I have started Let’s Act Oxfordshire in January 2024, running the Mini Musical Theatre classes in my home village of Benson. I have been close friends and worked with Mrs Amy for over ten years now, helping her run some classes in London when we lived together.

I have always had a huge love for all things musical and come from a very theatrical family, where singing and dancing around the kitchen was a daily occurrence! I learnt violin and piano as a child, but my greatest passion was always singing, which I enjoyed in many different ways from pantomimes and school performances to completing Grade 8 Singing Exam and recording songs with local DJs! I studied Early Childhood Education at University and went on to become a primary school teacher for two years. Following a career change leading me into the construction industry and then a surprise redundancy last year – I feel truly blessed to have found my way back to music and working with children again.

Mr Jack

Hello! My name is Mr Jack, and I am the LAMDA teacher at Let’s Act for Saturdays at Earlsfield. Two years ago, I graduated from drama school and I’m finishing up studying drama and directing at university. I love teaching LAMDA as I see how much the children progress over the term and from exam to exam their conference excels!

I’ve acted since I was 6, and I too was a student at Let’s Act bit so many years ago. At drama school I started to facilitate workshops, teach young children in schools and direct more and more. At university I had the opportunity to learn and build my understanding of drama and theatre and how to build and create a theatre company, in which I lead and directed, that comprised a team of production, tech, wardrobe and actors themselves to create a final product.

All this experience (while still young) has allowed me to teach at Let’s act and give my best to the children so then they can become their best too.

My own youth theatre back in Norfolk was (and still is) so important to me, and without the passion, support and hard work of my teachers there, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Not only did they boost my confidence and belief in myself, they also showed me that a career in acting is a possibility. I feel incredibly strongly about making the arts accessible to all young people, whether they want to pursue it as a career or not, and if I can inspire my classes with even a sprinkle of the magic that my own teachers gave me all those years ago, then I’ll be over the moon!
