Honestly: fly. Manchester Airport is on the same rail line as the studio, and it turns a two-day trip into one. Around 5 hours 30 minutes to a private Manchester studio, director-led sessions from £195.
Aberdeen actors are around five and a half hours from Manchester by rail, but flights into Manchester Airport are usually faster — and the airport sits on the same rail line as the studio. Director-led monologue showreels are £195 for one piece and £295 for up to three.
Honest advice first: fly. The rail journey from Aberdeen is around five and a half hours and turns this into a two-day trip. A flight into Manchester Airport turns it back into one day.
Manchester Airport has a direct rail link into the city centre, roughly 25 minutes, and the studio is a short walk from Deansgate. That connection is the whole reason this is feasible from the north east of Scotland at all.
His Majesty's Theatre and the Aberdeen Performing Arts venues keep a real scene running, and Robert Gordon and NESCol train performers into it. Book the hour — nobody makes this journey for one monologue.
Bring two or three prepared pieces and a couple of wardrobe options in plain mid-tones. Monologue showreels covers how a session runs, sessions & pricing lists what is included, and you can see the standard on the reels gallery before you book. To get dates, get in touch or call 0161 706 3220.
Fly. The train is around five and a half hours each way, which makes this an overnight trip. Manchester Airport is on the same rail line as the studio, so flying keeps it to a single day.
About three hours end to end: airport to city, a one-hour session, and back. Give yourself margin at the airport rather than at our end.
