Lessons

I teach acting one to one and in groups for all ages, levels, and needs.

I coach people auditioning for drama school, people completely new to acting, professional actors preparing for auditions, actors needing a refresh after a break and anyone wanting to build on their current skills.

I also teach and prepare students for LAMDA examinations.

I use various teaching methods, including;
Actioning, Meisner, Simplicity, Improvisation, Character study

I will tailor lessons to each individual student and develop skills in a variety of areas, such as;

Voice
Characterisation
Stage acting
Screen acting
Self taping (Please see Self Tapes page for more info)
Movement and Posture
Sight reading and lifting text off the page
Acting through song
Script analysis
Specificity in your work and making strong choices

I can provide material for lessons from TV or Theatre scripts, and provide advice on monologue choices. When preparing for drama school auditions it is always good to do a bit of research first to see what kind of speech you might like to do.

(Please see Drama School audition prep page for more detailed info)

I also provide confidence building sessions using techniques used within acting and performance. This is for anyone at any age, not just for actors. This can also cover public speaking, giving presentations and Best man/Women speeches and Father of The Bride etc.

I charge £30 an hour for all lessons and self taping sessions.
