One of the easiest journeys on the network — most Liverpool actors treat it as a morning out. Around 35-50 minutes to a private Manchester studio, director-led sessions from £195.
Liverpool actors film in Manchester, 35 to 50 minutes away on the direct Lime Street service. Actors Reels runs a private blacked-out studio in the Bonded Warehouse, filming director-led monologue reels from £195, with 15% off for LIPA and Liverpool Hope students and delivery in 5-10 working days.
Liverpool produces more working actors per head than almost any city in England and gives very few of them a way to film a reel. The training is world class, the stages are busy, and then people graduate into a market that asks for footage nobody in the city is set up to shoot.
LIPA, Liverpool Hope, the Everyman and the Playhouse between them turn out actors who can hold a room. The problem is that holding a room does not upload. A monologue reel converts the thing you are already good at into the format casting actually opens.
Lime Street to Manchester runs constantly and takes well under an hour, which makes this one of the shortest journeys on our list. Early slots are available if you are on stage that night, and most Liverpool actors are back across the water by mid afternoon.
Bring two or three prepared pieces and a couple of wardrobe options in plain mid-tones. Monologue showreels covers how a session runs, sessions & pricing lists what is included, and you can see the standard on the reels gallery before you book. To get dates, get in touch or call 0161 706 3220.
Yes — LIPA and Liverpool Hope actors are among the most frequent travellers to the studio. The 15% drama student discount applies to current students and recent graduates, which makes a single-monologue session £165.75.
Usually, yes. A 30-minute session plus travel fits comfortably inside a morning. Tell us at booking that you are working to a curtain and we will put you in the earliest slot of the day.
