I'm a passionate Actor and Teacher. Graduate of the 6 Year acting course specialising in MEISNER Technique. Have taught Acting for over 2 years. I specialise in PRACTICAL acting exercises and STORY.

Bede's teaching is completely selfless. He guides you to hone your own craft, so that you can become your own teacher. He understands what works for one person might not work for another so he gives his undivided attention, time and care to help you unlock the power within yourself to take appropriate action. When you do, he’s more excited than you are. His passion and love for teaching is infectious, it's truly inspirational to watch. He provides a safe place where you can be vulnerable and fail being equally as proud of your failures as much as your breakthroughs. He understands the failures help you find direction. He puts himself completely into the craft, not just sharing his knowledge, but SHOWING you what his teachings can do and that’s what makes him brave and sets him apart from the rest. He is a true teacher and I am not only a better actor, but i'm a better, more accountable person because of him.

I love working with Bede. He has a rich offering and I always feel inspired and informed with new approaches and insights into the craft. He is compassionate and kind, creates a space to play and be adventurous.

I highly rate Bede as an acting teacher. He is always willing to work with you to bring the best out of you and has what seems like unlimited patience when explaining things that may be foreign to you and it doesn’t seem like a hassle if he needs to break things down more for you to understand what you are being taught. You will always leave with confidence knowing for sure that you have learned something after time with him.
My time with Bede has been nothing but a positive influence on my acting work and I will always recommend him to anyone.

I was fortunate enough to have been taught and mentored by Bede Smith for 1.5 years, and even luckier to have this been my introduction to the technique and art of acting. His patient, attentive, compassionate, and pragmatic approach to the craft helped myself, and the students around me, succeed in improvisation exercises and screen technique classes. Great acting coaches help you remove blocks in your work, and Bede is one of these coaches.
