LEARN FROM AN EXPERIENCED ACTRESS & DIRECTOR:

The training of an actor is a lifelong journey and a true vocation. Acting is a craft that develops through consistent practice and dedication. I offer one-on-one, paired, and small group sessions aimed at expanding an actor’s range and honing their talent. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in acting and directing, I bring proven techniques to help you grow. With a BA in Acting and extensive training in method acting, including years assisting Jack Waltzer, I’m committed to helping you elevate your craft.

Techniques

I tailor my approach to each actor’s unique abilities and pace, guiding them through exercises designed to enhance their emotional depth and psychological range. The goal is to help the actor become instinctive and fully engaged in their performance.

Exercises include:

  • Sensory development

  • Inner dialogue exploration

  • "Thoughts, not lines" technique

  • Personalisation work

  • Listening skills

  • Self-tape and audition techniques

  • Drama school entry preparation and monologue work

On a practical level, I bridge the gap between actor training and the industry. These techniques will equip you for camera work, auditions, and role preparation—all essential skills for building a successful acting career.

Professional Self-Tape Service / Camera Practice and Role Coaching

I work closely with actors to help them respond authentically and instinctively in their performances, whether for stage or film. My focus is on cultivating truth, spontaneity, and believability in every role, ensuring you deliver a performance that feels real and compelling.

Approach

Acting is not just about memorising lines—it’s about creating truthful performances. This starts with developing relaxation, awareness, and concentration to bring the actor into the "creative mood," a heightened state of awareness. My approach combines imaginative work and logical script analysis to help you build a believable reality within the given circumstances of any scene.

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.
