Plan a full day, book the hour, and treat it as the one trip that fills your reel for two years. Around 3 hours to a private Manchester studio, director-led sessions from £195.
Sunderland actors reach the Actors Reels studio in Manchester in around three hours, changing at Newcastle or Durham. Because of the distance we recommend the one-hour session — up to three monologues for £295, delivered in 5-10 working days.
Sunderland has invested seriously in performance space over the last few years, and the Fire Station auditorium gave the city something it had lacked. What it still lacks is any way for its actors to be seen outside the North East.
The Empire brings large-scale touring in and the University of Sunderland's performance and media courses turn out capable people every year. Almost all of them leave with a showcase, a headshot and no film.
Three hours with a change is a genuine commitment, so plan it properly: an early departure, the one-hour session, and a relaxed train home. We will schedule around your connection if you tell us the timings.
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.
Not really — the geography is the geography. What we can do is make it count: three contrasting monologues in one session means you are not making the journey again next year.
Tell us as soon as you know. We hold the slot where we can and rebook without fuss where we cannot — nobody is losing a session to a cancelled connection.
Book a session or just ask us a question — we're always happy to talk through your reel.
