You are an amazing person and teacher and it has been truly enlightening being taught by you.

Britt’s infectious positivism as well as her wealth of experience, her insight and her ability to bring it out of a person by approaching the work from wherever they may be at the time, has helped me to once again reconnect with my creativity and look forward to working as a performer with a fresh outlook.

Brighton Festival Review 2006
Body Voice Performance
Review by Lara
Rating: ****
If you want an intimate insight into the charismatic Body Voice teaching of Britt Forsberg, then make a date for this show. With improvisation galore, colourful characters emerged from a handful of students, many giving their first performance in front of an audience, with much enthusiasm and no sign of nerves. Britt tunes you in to the technique by developing your body as an instrument and shooing stage fright away with all her excess energy.
Whether you are an aspiring actor or simply looking for an excuse to shout loudly, then this is a must see introduction to Forsberg’s acclaimed courses.
Nightingale Theatre, Surrey Street
I came to Britt to work on my first audition piece after graduating from my actor training. Without judgement or strict direction, she allowed me the freedom to develop and expand on my ideas; shaping and tidying the piece so that it was of an audition standard. With her help I was able to turn my ideas into a physical and emotional reality. Since working with Britt on my monologue, I have attended two auditions using this piece and succeeded in getting the job both times!

I first met Britt when doing a Foundation Course with the Academy of Creative Training in Brighton. Britt was my tutor for voice and movement. Britt can be best described as a dynamo. She is an incredibly motivational and inspiring tutor. As students we knew that in a session with Britt we would sweat and learn a lot, and we always came out of her sessions feeling energised and enthused. The techniques she taught were very much about being grounded and tuning into your whole body as an instrument. I felt that Britt’s sessions taught me how to identify where I hold tension and areas that I need to work on. When the Foundation Course finished I decided that I wanted to continue with acting training so I applied for a Diploma Course and a London Theatre Company. I approached Britt for private tuition to help me with these auditions. I went to the sessions with ideas, but felt that I needed guidance with my monologues in particular. We had two very focused and productive sessions; we covered a lot of ground and made huge advancements in a very short time period. Britt’s comments and observations helped me transform the monologues in ways that I wouldn’t have been able to by myself. The end result was fantastic, I got into the diploma and the theatre company and best of all I received a bursary for my training. Thanks Britt

I worked with Britt whilst at ACT and found her methods of teaching very fresh, exciting, innovative and fun. Her vision into developing character work is fantastic and helped me find my characters for performances especially the part of ‘Dieter’ in Loveplay.
More recently I auditioned for the Brighton Theatre Group and a role in ‘The Full Monty’ which is appearing at the Theatre Royal Brighton. I took private tuition with Britt which helped me prepare myself and be ever-present for my audition. I got the role and would like to give Britt the credit for it. Thank you Britt.

It has surprised me how much of what I have learnt in class is useful in everyday life. You gain confidence in yourself when faced with others. I am also very surprised by the way that I don’t get breathless as I use to when exercising etc.
Phillip (actor)
The effect and results of Britt’s methods are almost too big to put into words, but I will try!! As an actor and performer the techniques allow you to become completely present and spontaneous in your work. Moving out of the confines of mind and into a place where the magic can occur.
Gratia (actor, performer)
I was interested in the fantastic energy in the workshops and Britt’s ethics about life and performance.
The classes never fail to brighten my moods, and have a very positive affect on me. Britt has been a constant inspiration. I will continue the training as long as I can. The levels that I and my classmates have reached during class is astounding. And all in a very safe and encouraging environment. That’s not to say it’s not challenging. Britt is a very generous and focused tutor although she is quite small…
Hugh (actor)
What an amazing opportunity to have your expert tuition – you are fantastic. No other words come close to how grateful I am for your guidance. Thanks for everything!
Mandy (acting student)
Your classes were so useful and I am really going to miss them. Thanks for being so supportive with something that was so scary at the beginning! Never stop teaching. You have a real talent for it.

Britt you’re the best!
