Actor Coaching

I offer personalised actor coaching for individuals at all stages of their careers, from newcomers to seasoned professionals.

Sessions are available via Zoom.

Whether you're preparing for a screen test, a theatre audition, a drama school application, or seeking dedicated one-on-one development, I'm here to support your growth as an actor.

My coaching philosophy centres on the principle of "being, not seeming." I emphasise authenticity and presence over mere technical proficiency, helping actors connect deeply with their characters and the moment.

Drawing from extensive knowledge of the major acting methods - from Stanislavski to Meisner and beyond - I work with you to find approaches that resonate with your unique talents and challenges. We address common hurdles actors face, such as performance anxiety, character connection, and the complexities of the audition process.

Additionally, I provide guidance on navigating the business side of acting, including effective self-marketing strategies, maintaining industry relevance, and building a sustainable career in a competitive field.

My aim is to demystify both the artistic process and the business of acting, guiding you towards a place where your technique and professional acumen become second nature.

With over two decades of experience as a professional actor, director, and educator, including training at NIDA and extensive work in theatre, film, and television, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to my coaching sessions. My approach combines rigorous technique with a deep understanding of the industry's demands.

Sessions are priced at $110 per hour (inc. GST) with bulk discounts available.
