Matt and his brother Anthony Lewis recently spoke to Kent Online about their acting school, Totally Lit North, making it’s way to Maidstone. Anthony said, “Everyone involved directly works in the industry, so we can offer practical advice of what happens today. From getting a job to getting an agent, we help with practical and useful skills.” He and Matt, along with a few other special guests, will be holding auditions for the first class (of about 20 students) on January 9th at the Maidstone YMCA. For more information visit the Totally Lit North website.
When speaking about the course, Matt Lewis said:
“As a former child actor myself, I can see the huge value in fine-tuning the key skills needed to work in this industry as a professional. The work that the creative team are doing is fantastic and something I would have hugely benefited from at that age. It comes down to a whole range of different things, we look at natural ability but it’s not the be all and end all as we’re here to teach.”
“We’re looking forward to seeing what Maidstone has got, but acting’s a passion, people need to be aware it’s a huge profession and you aren’t guaranteed success, it’s something you’ve got to be prepared to have a real go at.”
Totally Lit North’s intensive course will be at Maidstone’s YMCA centre on Saturdays between 2.30pm-5.30pm for an initial nine sessions following the audition day.

Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 6:29 pm | Comments Off on Matt and Anthony Lewis Host Acting Class at Leeds Grammar School |
This past Friday, Matt and Anthony Lewis hosted an acting class at The Grammar School in Leeds. As we’ve mentioned a few times in the past, Anthony runs two acting schools, Totally Lit and Totally Lit North, and Matthew is a patron of the schools. Their purpose is to teach aspiring actors about the business of real world acting. View some photos of Matthew and Anthony in our gallery.
Of their day at the school, which involved judging a drama competition the night before, Matt said:
It has been really nice to get back up to Leeds.We were both really impressed with the standard of work and creativity. TV and film is such a different discipline and it was nice to try and break that down and see how the students handled it and they all did really well.
Anthony also discussed Totally Lit and their process:
“We are looking at auditioning new students after Easter, and I think we spotted some fantastic potential film and TV actors! The purpose of the workshops was to look at a different style of acting to the theatrical work that the students were familiar with. Using mine and Matthew’s experiences working over the years, we explained the main differences between working to a large audience and then playing to a camera, which is a far more intimate experience. We also discussed the practical side of working as an actor.”
