Since I am new to this career and with no background in acting and neither much knowledge about how the industry works. My agency referred me to have a few classes with buddy and learn more about the dynamics of the industry and some basic skills about acting. In those few sessions we made such a deep connection all thanks to the extensive knowledgeable, humble and humorous buddy who not only understood my background but also acknowledged my potential and possibilities to progress graciously in this industry.

In just those few sessions he also introduced me to Kevin Brunett a professional dialect coach. Who quickly guided me use some simple and effective tips on how to control my voice.

Those few sessions were so reasonable and remarkable that it dint took me a second thought to be associated with this fanstastic individuals who are not working for money but to spread their distinctive career knowledge among all experienced and aspiring actors and show them the right path towards the career with no sham promises and beguile practices. They don't blarney your bad acting skills and habits to gain profits rather they are straight on the face about where we stand and what all improvements are needed to excel in the career and be a good humble actor who is not only likable around the set but also skillful.

I am so pleased to have these 2 beautiful souls beside me as my coach where I am confident about any auditions would may come in my way, buddy's long commercial actor, directorial experience and Kevin's voice acting never let me down with hopes and with my performance.

I am not praising them because I am associated with them. They conduct several classes with different learning curves, just come in and take up any classes which suits you best and see by yourself. May you ask Gloria Mann about him and she herself will talk so highly.

I dint only gained proficiency in my acting skills but I myself see performing so well in auditions and recently I even landed a union commercial job, all thanks to these guys because without them it would have not been possible.

Ask both of them any questions you may have, from casting director's perception to analyzing the scripts to the director's vision to writers intention everything will be answered.

Shannon is not only an actor herself but she takes care of the adim and is the youth teacher. She is such a wonderful person and her craft is so profound that kids will forget the craft classes in their school ?

I highly recommend Working Reel Production

My acting career really took off once I started classes with Buddy. Classes with him have opened my eyes to what casting director's look for in a submission, how to crack an audition, the right way, how to breakdown a script and analyze the small things within the script that will set you apart from the other candidates.
Buddy also gave me a sense of direction on where I could go with my acting career. He also gives it to you straight up on how you’re doing, and what you need to improve on, and never, never puts you down as an actor. I've signed up for the yearly coaching classes with him, and honestly, highly highly recommend him.

In 2017, shortly after I decided to pursue a lifelong dream to be a professional actor, a working actor friend said to me, “You have to talk to Buddy Brennan at Working Reel.”
I met Buddy at a Cambridge coffee shop and in a chat that lasted an hour or so, I learned more about Acting craft and the business of Acting than I ever could have imagined.
Since that day, Buddy has become so much more than my Acting Coach; he is a teacher, mentor, guide, advisor, counsellor and most important, friend. Buddy, and his entire team at Working Reel are, without question, one of the most significant contributors to helping me turn a dream that I thought was a fantasy into reality! I am confident the Working Reel Team are all this and more to each and every Actor – whether brand new or experienced – they come in contact with.
