Its an easier approach as a professional surf photographer that has been trying to push his own limits in waves of consequence than the thought of public speaking, far less nerves, never anxious, the heart rate will increase slightly thinking about the wild life that has visited the area in the past, give me a swim in the middle of the ocean any day of the week than put me on the stage in front of an audience. The last couple of years, opportunities have arisen to face the unthinkable, talkin…

In a few short hours, Myles Pollard’s workshop gave me a boost of confidence and skills in how to discover, improve and make best possible use of the power of my own speech. Using his experience and training as an actor and orator, Myles led us through several techniques which I was able to put into immediate practice in a range of speaking situations and scenarios, both formal and informal, with great effect.

Recently the IDEAS Principal Collegial group had Myles Pollard present a workshop titled ‘Presenting with Confidence’ . This workshop focused mainly on persuasive communication techniques. The practical workshop was very engaging from the minute Myles entered the room. The level of Principal experience in the room was high however every single participant felt they left with many more ideas, skills and techniques from the half day session. Myles was a fantastic facilitator of this workshop…

Presenting with Confidence

Having the opportunity to work closely with Myles has been a blessing and a breath of fresh air. For an individual to truly learn and understand the delicate and complex skills of an actor, ideally they need to learn from someone who has first mastered the art themselves. Myles offers this rare opportunity. With amazing energy, passion and incredible patience, Myles mentors his students in a safe yet challenging way, enabling them to push their own boundaries and develop a deeper level of …

Lizzy Kay (12) has just been signed up with Luber Roklin Entertainment in LA. Lizzy was fortunate to attend Myles’ Course ‘Intensive Acting for the Camera’ which helped her with the audition process.. Lizzy says what she loved most about the course was that Myles taught her how to not fear failure and how to build resilience and draw strength. His ability to help her understand the essence of character and to give her the space to discover herself is the hallmark of a very fine mentor – …

To tell a Story and tell it with belief is the essence of what an actor strives to do in their work. Myles Pollard instils in our students the belief in themselves and their art form, allowing them access into the world of dramatic performance while overlaying those tools in every facet of their creative output. Whether it be dancing, singing or acting, Myles demonstrates the art of story telling in all these aspects of performance and has helped our fulltime students at Urban Dance access their…

What can I say but simply, thank you Myles. I have just landed the lead in my first feature film!!!!!! How I approached the audition, I couldn’t have done if hadn’t been for Myles’s incredibly connective, intuitive and precise coaching. Of all the teacher/coaches I have worked with over the last 3 years, and there have been some amazing teachers in that mix. Myles has had the most profound affect on me. Myles’s ability to take you on to that place you need to get to, to say the right thing at th…

I have recently attended the 4 day Intensive Workshop and I am eager to complete the Master Class at the end of this year. I entered shy, insecure and terrified but Myles has an ability to make you completely forget about your insecurities. By the second day I was still shy but I felt more comfortable and was excited to start. Over the four days I grew more confident in my abilities and learnt several valuable mindsets and tools that will not only help me with my acting but also in my everyday…

I alongside a class full of other budding actors took the plunge and had a crack at Myles Pollards acting workshop over the previous two weekends and I am so glad I did.
From day one Myles warm nature and affable personality broke through every persons nerves and walls opening them up and relaxing them making us all comfortable in the previously perceived uncomfortable. Myles showed and explained to us how our own personalities, the power of script analysis, passionate objective hunting…

I have been working with Myles on my two audition pieces to get into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and he has easily been the best mentor I have ever had the pleasure of getting taught by. He gave me the structures to decompose and evaluate my pieces. He also helped to make me confident in myself and the pieces I was going to perform. Before working with Myles I was unconfident, unsure and terrified. But afterwards I was confident, sure of myself and in good spirits. He is definitely o…
