It’s time to get a process you can rely on—so you can finally access the potential you know you have and deliver every single time.
Is This You?
You’ve trained—but it still feels like you’re winging it when the pressure’s on.
You overthink, freeze, or feel blocked in auditions and high-stakes scenes.
You’re stuck wondering how to actually connect and make bold, authentic choices.
You’re tired of surface-level classes that don’t give you a process you can trust.
You know you’re capable of more—you just need real tools, real attention, and not vague theory.
If any of that hits—you’re in the right place.
Why Choose Step 12 Studio?
Before founding Step 12 Studio, Rich paid nearly £200 for a weekend workshop.
After Two days, and only fifteen minutes on the floor acting.
When his next audition came, he realised—he still didn’t know where to start.
That was the moment he decided: workshops aren’t enough.
He needed something consistent. Structured. With real feedback and real growth.
Then he trained with Ivana Chubbuck herself—and everything changed.
He finally saw how straightforward and powerful acting can be with the right tools.
Now, as an accredited Chubbuck teacher, Rich gives actors what he never got:
A reliable process. Personal attention. And serious time on the floor.
Before your first class, you’ll connect on Zoom to talk through your goals.
Then in class, you’ll work for up to an hour on challenging material in every class, chosen to stretch your range and sharpen your instincts.
No fluff. Just the structure, clarity, and growth you’ve been missing.
What if you could finally feel proud of your work—because it’s grounded, truthful, and entirely yours?
Not overdone. Not shaped to please.
But real. Alive. Undeniably connected.
You’re no longer chasing approval or wondering if you “got it right.”
You know how to bring depth to a scene—and you trust yourself to go there.
The noise fades. The self-doubt softens.
And in its place: clarity, confidence, and creative control.
You walk into auditions steady, prepared, and fully present.
You walk out fulfilled—because you showed up.
And most of all?
You start to love the work again.
Hey, I’m Rich
I’ve been coaching actors in the Chubbuck Technique since 2021, right here in London—after training directly with Ivana Chubbuck herself.
To this day, I’m still a full-time member of Ivana’s masterclass in L.A.—which means my classes are not only cutting-edge, but the most up-to-date Chubbuck training available in Europe.
My mission?
To give you what I always needed:
A process that works.
One that helps you reach your full potential, prepares you for high-stakes moments, and gives you the confidence to play to win.
My teaching mirrors the same L.A. studio system Ivana has refined over the last 40 years—used by Oscar winners, top-tier talent, and the actors you admire.
But here, you’ll get that same world-class training in a small-group, supportive, and personalised setting.
Let’s work together to make your next performance unforgettable—and build a process that backs you, every time.
