We support and advise DJW members and clients about the ever changing entertainment industry, with Film, Television and Theatre being at the core of what we love most.
DJW actor training enables actors to participate in workshops, both face to face and online. Members attending studio sessions will work from our workshops created by Daniel-John Williams. His experience and knowledge of theatre, television and film as an actor and behind the camera (including directing, casting and producing) has given him the tools and techniques needed to train those looking to explore the creative industries in this way. The carefully created modules will give the students a real slice of what it takes to be taken seriously in this fast paced, weird and wonderful world of acting. We are an in-house and industry recognised school of excellence. Two years training with DJW will qualify students to join Spotlight.

THE DJW MISSION
DJW believe that building a strong foundation is what will give an actor career longevity. Our training allows students to EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE, EMERGE & ESTABLISH themselves, whilst building confidence and industry knowledge.
DJW have created a clear pathway for studying actors to develop into confident, knowledgable and etiquette ready performers in theatre, television and film.

DJW TEAM
The team at DJW Talent are passionate about the development of actors and guiding those who are serious about a career in the business to give them the essential tools which will prepare them for the reality of the industry.
We believe all students should be coached by someone who has the knowledge and experience of the industry, so all of our tutors have had a substantial amount of training or in the field experience. We also use tutors who have been trained at DJW, so they understand the company ethos, approaches and style. All tutors and employees at DJW are DBS checked.
