LEARN FROM AN EXPERIENCED ACTRESS & DIRECTOR:

The training of an actor is a lifelong journey, a true vocation. It’s a craft that deepens through consistent practice, discipline, and curiosity. I offer one-to-one, paired, and small group sessions designed to expand range, sharpen technique, and build confidence. Drawing on over 20 years of experience as both an actor and director, I bring a practical, results-driven approach tailored to each individual. With a BA in Acting and extensive training in method acting , including several years assisting Jack Waltzer (from teh Actors studio) I work closely with actors to help them develop depth, authenticity, and a strong, versatile skill set.

My aim is simple: to support you in elevating your craft and sustaining a meaningful, long-term acting practice, from auditions, to self tapes and weekly practise.

Techniques

I tailor my approach to each actor’s individual strengths, pace, and creative instincts, guiding them through focused exercises that deepen emotional truth and expand psychological range. The aim is to help actors become instinctive, present, and fully engaged in their work.

Training may include:

  • Sensory development

  • Inner dialogue exploration

  • “Thoughts, not lines” technique

  • Personalisation work

  • Active listening skills

  • Self-tape and audition technique

  • Drama school preparation and monologue coaching

Alongside the creative work, I place strong emphasis on the practical realities of the industry. My approach bridges the gap between training and professional practice, equipping actors with the tools needed for screen work, auditions, and in-depth role preparation which are all essential for building a sustainable and successful career.

Professional Self-Tape Service / Camera Practice and Role Coaching

I work closely with actors to develop truthful, instinctive responses in performance, whether for stage or screen. The focus is on cultivating presence, spontaneity, and emotional precision, so that each moment feels lived rather than performed. The result is work that is grounded, compelling, and deeply believable. Then apply to a self tape.

Approach

Acting goes far beyond memorising lines, it’s about creating truthful, fully realised human behaviour on stage and screen. That process begins awareness to a creative state where instinct and imagination can fully engage.

My approach integrates rigorous script analysis with imaginative exploration, giving you both the intellectual clarity and emotional freedom to build a convincing reality within the given circumstances of any scene. The result is work that is grounded, responsive, and genuinely alive.

Regular Acting Coaching

I offer ongoing coaching sessions tailored to both beginners and experienced actors, focusing on building a strong foundation and character development. These sessions include monologue and scene work, along with techniques designed to expand the actor’s range and skills. I work with each actor’s unique qualities, helping them harness their distinct traits to create authentic, believable performances that resonate with truth.

Coaching is available globally via Zoom or in person in London.

Drama School Entry / Audition Coaching

I provide personalised coaching for drama school auditions, focusing on preparing actors for both modern and classical pieces, as well as guiding them through the audition and interview process. Every actor I have coached has had a 100 percent success rate in the same year of application.
