If you’ve ever wondered whether acting might be for you, you’re not alone. Every year, hundreds of people across Manchester and Liverpool step into their first acting class as adults.
At first, new students are often nervous, excited, and not totally sure what to expect, but most of them quickly realise they should’ve started sooner. So, here are seven simple signs that 2026 might be your year to give screen acting a go.
1. You’re always quoting TV shows
If you’ve ever reenacted a scene from Peaky Blinders or Line of Duty for absolutely no reason… that’s a clue.
2. You want something creative outside work
A lot of adult beginners join because their day job is all spreadsheets and no spark. Acting gives you permission to play again.
3. People tell you you’re “animated”
Maybe you tell great stories, or are naturally expressive and don’t hide your emotions under a bushel. All excellent starting points for screen acting.
4. You’re obsessed with behind-the-scenes content
If you spend more time watching cast interviews than the actual show, it might be time to get on the other side of the camera.
5. You want more confidence
Nearly everyone who joins an acting class wants to feel more comfortable being seen. On-camera training builds confidence fast, giving you invaluable life skills beyond the screen.
6. You’re curious about TV and film casting in the north
Manchester and Liverpool are booming filming hubs. From BBC dramas to indie films, opportunities for new actors are growing fast.
7. You’ve thought about it more than once
This is the big one. If the idea of trying out your acting chops keeps popping into your mind, that’s your sign.
