About Jon Campbell
Jon was originally inspired to create Drama Sessions because of the difficulties his students were experiencing in their attempts to get into drama school or to access any other form of drama training. Drama Sessions is based on Jon’s own experience of 3 years training at a major drama
school, Central School of Speech & Drama, plus his many years’ experience as a drama coach. Drama Sessions is an online drama training course that comes to you in your own
home. It covers everything you would learn in drama school, delivered via Jon’s own teaching method, in 12 exciting and involving episodes, along with helpful written material.
Sadly, at the end of filming and editing, Jon was diagnosed with cancer and has since passed away.
However, under today’s restrictive conditions with schools and colleges closed, access to drama training is more urgent than ever. So Drama Sessions couldn’t be more timely. The full course was originally priced at £19.99 but, in keeping with the times, Drama Sessions is now available at a bargain price of £19.99. We are proud to launch Drama Sessions, both as a fitting tribute to Jon and his inspired teaching and as a valuable legacy for his students.

Course Overview
Welcome to The Drama Sessions. Our intention is to take you on a journey into the world of acting, along the way giving you some idea of the skills you’ll need in order to enter the industry as well as an insight into the industry itself. We aim to show you how to start, how to progress and how to make what you do work for you.
Online Course
In this course we will look at monologues and scene work and the supplementary material includes improvisation exercises for you to practice. But it differs from other similar courses in that we will not simply be covering the purely technical aspects of acting. Through Lyndsay and Brad you will be given an insight into what the life of an actor entails, - the hopes and fears that every actor experiences in their struggle to succeed. It is about the technique of acting but it is also about what it means to be an actor in a more general sense. This is why we look at such issues as confidence and the audition process. Our intention is to provide you with a glimpse, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always relevant, of the life of the actor as a whole. Our greatest wish is that you find it entertaining, interesting but, more importantly, useful in your endeavor to make this industry your career.
