Acting tuition with a professional actor
and qualified teacher
I graduated from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 1996. Theatre credits include three years at the Royal Shakespeare Company and involve many respected companies and professionals, notably, the National Theatre, Gate Theatre, The Orange Tree, Steven Berkoff, Stephen Poliakoff, Erica Whyman, Ed Hall,
Adrian Noble and Moscow Art Theatre's Kama Ginkas.
As well as playing a lead role in the SKY1 sitcom Parents, my television credits include several projects with the multi-award winning Armando Iannucci for Channel 4 and the BBC. Other credits include Ted Lasso, Sandylands, IT Crowd, Phoneshop, Job Lot, Crackanory, Bad Move, Action Team, Wasted, A Song For Jenny, Tim Minchin's 88 Keys, Peter Kosminsky's Innocents.
I have taught privately and at many institutions and I was Acting Pathway Leader of the Foundation Course at Guildford School of Acting and Head of Acting and Head of the Two Year Rep Course at Fourth Monkey.
I have helped over 200 students get into drama school
ONE-ON-ONE TUITION
Our sessions will be tailored to your specific needs in order to nurture your own individual style. I believe that the prescription of one set of beliefs or strictly the rules of only one particular practitioner frequently leads to a very limited performer. Too often, actors are praised for merely pandering to the tutor's personal taste or method of working rather than being allowed to find a system that works for them
WORKSHOPS
As well as over twenty years professional acting experience, I have a PGCE and I have taught drama at GCSE, A-Level and at accredtited drama schools. Workshops and masterclasses can be delivered on a variety of subjects and can run for a few hours to a few weeks, so please contact me for a price.
