“I can’t recommend Not Too Tames’ Bootcamp enough! Throughout the course I was pushed outside of my comfort zone consistently and I have discovered how to thrive even in unfamiliar territory.
Lauren Dwyer - 2025
“A fun, wonderful and spectacular experience. Every week I learned something new and it really has helped develop my skills as an actor in way I didn’t even think of.
After the Showcase I truly feel Bulletproof and am ready to grab, tackle and nail every role given to me.
This is an experience I thoroughly enjoyed…Maybe I will even do it again, it was that amazing! “
Bryn Bellis - 2025 Summer Bootcamp
“Cheers for everything especially for helping me find my own voice and bringing me out of my comfort zone.
Invaluable session with exercises that I will definitely use and fall back on in the future.”
Edward Kelly - 2025 Summer Bootcamp
