I completed my first week-long course in London with Scott and it was the most stimulating and enlightening week of training I’d ever had. Scott steered my process in a whole new - and easier, simpler, honest - direction. I returned to London and straight away sought to work with Scott again. He remains a joyous human being, a clear and thorough teacher, and once again I found myself leaving class each day on a high".

How do you bring impulse and truth to your Music Theatre work? How do you transition from scene to song; maintaining connection, emotional authenticity and vocal technique? How do you keep it fresh and ‘in the moment’ on show 137!?
💥In need of a practical, reliable acting technique that actually works?
💥Looking for a grounded, joyful process that gets you out of your head and into your body?
Join Scott Williams (UK’s leading Meisner teacher) and Adrian Tamburini (Opera Australia, Melbourne Opera Company) as they work alongside each other to develop your technique in both scene and song.
You will work on the foundations of the Meisner Technique with Scott and apply them to a Music Theatre scene and the transition into song. Students will also deepen their vocal technique with Adrian - in a 5-day Intensive designed to give you an introduction into the Meisner technique and how to embed this work into your existing Music Theatre practice.

Aside from Scott's mid-year annual visit, our regular classes are designed by him and taught by our Australian faculty who have trained with Scott as both actors and teachers.
Once you have signed up and paid your deposit, you have access to all three modules at a time that suits you. Whilst most people tend to do their 3 modules one after the other, occasionally an actor may book a job, or life happens, and you need to put it on hold. Let us know that you need to defer, and when you would like to jump back in, and we will find a place for you.
Class sizes vary, but are unlikely to consist of more than 20 people. Between eight and 15 has been the average over the 20 years that we’ve been training actors.
Because the Technique is experiential, classes are practical and are, we believe, unique in the amount of personal tuition and feedback you’ll receive.
The majority of students will begin with Module 1, Living Truthfully. Even if you’ve done an introductory course with us, or elsewhere, it can only give you a flavour of what the Technique can deliver.
Students who have already have a significant body of experience with The Impulse Company may begin with either Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances – or Module 3 – A State of Aliveness, using it as a showcase opportunity, with Scott’s agreement.
Scott visits Australia annually, and teaches each of the courses himself. These are usually Introduction to Impulse, Advancing Impulse, Play-in-a-Fortnight, Scene into Song - The Impulse to Sing, and Advancing Impulse for Screen. Some of these courses are taught alongside other industry professionals.

I trained with Scott Williams at The Impulse Company and graduated from the two year course in 2005. Both the acting technique I learned from Scott and the individual help and advice have stayed with me throughout my career. The Impulse Company offers high level professional training for actors at all stages of their career, and does so in a friendly and supportive environment. I highly recommend training with The Impulse Company and I'm confident that you will have a great and productive time working with one of the best tutors in the industry.
