I always tell my students that the old trope about becoming a professional actor is true: 'If you can think of any other career that you would be passionate about doing, go and do that; if you're serious about becoming an actor, then you're in the right place.'

​

Becoming an actor is not easy. Yes, it takes talent, but that's not enough. You need lifelong passion, discipline, perseverance, and - let's face it - some luck. Most critically, you need a secure technique underpinning everything you do.

​

Knowing where to start is half the battle. I know how intimidating it can be, trying to get past the drama school audition panel gatekeepers, from both a nervous young actor's and a drama school panellist's point of view.

​

The truth is, this is normal. Everyone feels that way. Going to drama school is within reach, and there are learnable skills that will give you a real leg up on the competition. I see the mistakes that are frequently made, and honestly, they're all avoidable. As a drama school panellist, I need to see your true potential shine through, and as an experienced teacher, I can help guide you to achieve exactly that.
