Step 12 Studio. The Chubbuck Technique

05/05/2026

Hey actors — back when I was doing the rounds, going to class after class…

I often found I understood the ideas —
But my performances did’nt seem to change�and my tapes and bookings definitely never got better.

That only changed when I worked with my mentor Ivana Chubbuck�who helped me build a straightforward process I could rely on.

That’s what I now share in London.

And I offer every actor what I always wished I got:

👉 up to an hour on the floor every single week�👉 working on a high stakes scene chosen especially for you�👉 never a one size fits all approach

we’re all as individual as our fingerprints — so before your first class we’ll hop on a zoom, catch up, talk about your sticking points, your career so far and your goals so we can hit the floor running.

We’ll then use powerful, effective exercises to make the work real

— because if it’s real for you, it’s real for the audience.

Here’s what Tom said after his first month:

He was looking for something he could rely on —�a clear “script → boom boom boom → ready to go” process.
And what stood out most?

“the time you get on the floor… an hour at least… actually acting.”

That’s the difference.

Next classes:

Thursdays�21st + 28th May — 18:00–21:00

Mondays�18th + 25th May — 13:00–16:00

Saturdays�23rd + 30th May — 13:00–16:00

The 12 week Chubbuck Intensive, from scene to screen. Starts 15/09/25.

12 weeks of training in Ivana Chubbuck’s 12 step process ( Her alumni include Brad pitt, Charlize Theron and Halle berry), and 2 weeks rehearsing with a scene partner before shooting a professsional showreel scene.

It’s a small group (8 actors max), and across 12 weeks we’ll:

�✨ Work on scenes chosen just for you, that challenge your blind spots.

�✨ Build a straight forward step by step process that takes the guesswork out of auditions and self-tapes.

�✨ Spend two week rehearsing for your showreel scene, with onset coaching on the day.

✨Professinally shot scene with D.O.P Israr Azam.

✨End the year with footage you can be proud to share

This isn’t just about getting a new reel. It’s about setting yourself up so when 2026 comes, you’ve already done the work, built the habits, and have something concrete to show for it.

If that’s the energy you want to take into the new year — this might be for you.

Deadline 14/09/25. 3 Spaces left.

Most actors make choices from the plot...

But great actors build scenes from the inside out.

Most actors overthink.

They stack strong-sounding actions like “To bulldoze you”…

Hoping it’ll make their scene land.

But here’s the truth:

Real acting doesn’t come from sounding strong.

It comes from need. From human, playable actions.

Want to stop guessing and start building scenes that actually connect?

🎬 “Setting yourself up to win.”

Eight weeks into Chubbuck class, Michael’s work has already transformed.

✅ He’s making it personal — using substitutions to connect truthfully.
✅ His scenes feel like his words — not lines on a page.
✅ And most importantly — he’s building a process that sets him up to win.

If you’re tired of surface-level acting and want to bring real truth to your scenes…

This is where the shift happens.
