“I have the honour of working with Chris regularly and the privilege is all mine. His attention to detail and eye for the screen and what is needed in each take is always spot on. Chris is incredibly honest. I trust him implicitly because of this. If I think I’ve got it and he tells me to go again, I know I probably should. That said, if he says we’ve got it and I don’t think we have, he’ll be right. Working with him continues to be a great joy and I hope I do it forever.”

I’ve just finished filming a BBC TV show as a lead character in Phoenix Rise. Chris was one of the first people that believed in me prior to getting my ‘big job’. He looked out for me on set, remaining professional but still warm, funny and kind! Within acting workshops he really helped me with not only things like deciding what headshots are best but also the realism in acting and how it has to come from you. He taught me that it’s so much to read pages off a script but if you don’t find that character within yourself then it won’t be convincing.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Chris Overton for many years, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. Chris brings a relaxed yet focused approach, creating a perfect environment to explore the character and scenes. Chris provides genuine and constructive feedback and his technical experience and expertise is invaluable. A notable highlight where this came into good use is the support I received in preparing my audition tape for Wheel of Time for Amazon Prime, a role I subsequently secured. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any actor seeking to improve and elevate their craft

Without a doubt, Chris is one of the best in the business when it comes to both coaching and directing. He has a wealth of knowledge, ready to share with anyone who comes his way, and his passion for the discipline just oozes throughout all of his work. Above all, Chris is an immensely encouraging and supportive tutor, working to get the very best from his actors, and with their very best interests at heart - there is no- one quite like him. Jump at the chance to work with him, you won’t regret it!

His creative judgment and vision is outstanding! He is a lovely guy and very easy to get on with. He made me feel very comfortable on set and taught me a lot about screen acting that I didn’t know before. Would highly, highly recommend working with him.

I’ve worked with Chris a number of times, where he has been my director, and I cannot recommend him enough. He is a true master of his craft, as both an actor and director, and understanding both sides of the camera makes him one of the best acting teachers you could get. He is incredible in giving direction and acting notes in a very concise way, and with a lot of care. Every time I’ve worked with Chris, I have become a better actor. I trust him and his process wholeheartedly.
