Inspire Actors was founded in 2016 by Michael Keogh.
With twenty years of experience behind him, Michael has not only appeared in some of the UK’s best dramas, but has shared screen-time with the likes of Michael Caine, Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy.
Having now turned his hand to film direction, Michael’s first two shorts (‘Underwater’, winner of the SCAD Savannah Film Festival Best Global Short
, and ‘The Road to Gehenna’, recipient of four awards for drama and cinematography in the USA, Canada and Europe) have been well-received by critics and viewers alike.
A lifelong student of acting, Michael went to great lengths to study the primary practitioners of the art – Stanislavski, Meisner, Adler and Strasberg – and concluded that the ever-present common denominator in all effective performance was ‘intention’. Intention was the catalyst for the emotion.
In formulating the Inspire Technique, Michael worked for many years to remove the confusions and complexities so often encountered by those pursuing the craft. The result has proven – time and time again – to be one of the most comprehensive and effective approaches to the teaching of acting.
The Inspire method comprises both scripted and improvisational techniques, each working hand-in-hand with the other.
With online classes and workshops available, Inspire Actors provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and highly effective way for you to achieve the highest level of acting ability, no matter where you are.
