What People Say... about the Screen Acting GYM:

  • ‘’ Natalia's Screen Acting Gym is unmatched in London's creative industry today - her energy, attention to detail, and genuine care for her students is unique. The class offers actors the perfect opportunity to simultaneously practice their craft and be their own critiques, learning from watching themselves on screen, and learn from a successful (yet incredibly down to earth) teacher. Natalia has brought out subtleties in my performances that I did not think myself capable of delivering. The tips and tricks she infuses her class with are equally valuable, ameliorating her students' self-tape style! ’’

    Elizabeth Weber / Actress

  • '' Natalia and "Owning IT Acting Studio" has been amazing! The sessions are so personable and tailored to each actor. I've been able to really explore my casting type as the material feels realistic to castings I would receive in real life. Natalia is a great coach and is able to really go into depth and detail when redirecting different ways to play scenes. She is attentive to each actor's specific growth and really pushes each actor- There is no rush and she will get the best out of your tape. Can't recommend a class with Natalia enough!''

    Robyn Marshall / Actress & Singer

  • '' The format of the Screen Acting GYM is perfect and Natalia always provides excellent comments to push you in the right direction and to challenge you to try new ideas. Her scene choices always allowing you to explore untapped sides of you - and they are always interesting, distinctive and fun - her catalogue of scenes must be enormous! ''

Natalia is a true magician! 

‘I have known Natalia for nearly 20 years now. During all these years I would get in touch with her to get advice about something either acting or life-related and I always left our chats inspired, knowing more about the industry. 

Recently, I needed my showreel updated and as I have a technology phobia, I asked Natalia if she could help me out, and as always, she did. This time, however, she insisted that she wanted to have a free hand with my reel. I obviously agreed because I knew that I could trust her keen eye for detail. Shortly after, I watched my new showreel and I can tell that she’s a TRUE MAGICIAN!

Trust your instincts, get in touch with her and OWN IT!’

-Ignacy Rybarczyk

"Natalia was very friendly but also very professional. She made me feel very comfortable even if taking photos isn't usually a comfortable process for me. Before taking the photos, Natalia asked what I wanted and I couldn't be happier, I use the photos she's taken on a daily basis and I've had a lot of compliments. I couldn't recommend Natalia enough! (She's also an excellent hair stylist)”

‘‘Natalia is a dream to work with. Given her knowledge of the industry as an actor, she has an incredible eye for detail with a camera and knows exactly what to say to put you at ease. She sets up an extremely welcoming environment and makes you feel like it's a friend you trust taking the photos. I couldn't be happier with the results. This is no exaggeration, since my photo shoot I have been complimented on the photos every time I do a performance and I am always happy to pass on Natalia's information. BOOK! HER! NOW!’’
