Getting in to Drama School is a hard and competitive process, an outside eye and some coaching can go a long way. I've been through the audition process a few time before getting in to Drama Centre on the MA Screen Acting course so I'm very familiar with how the process works and what they're looking for. We'll work on picking good monologues, textual analysis, character creation and performance to give you the best chance at getting in to your dream school. This is all applicable to acting grades like LAMDA or Trinity or performance for school.

Textual analysis is a vital skill as a student and a great, life-enriching skill outside of education. But if you don't know how to approach a text properly it can seem daunting and impossible. I really struggled with poetry until I had a teacher who showed me how to break it down, now I love reading poetry and write it myself. As an actor and English graduate, I have a lot of experience breaking down texts, from books, plays, films (both scripts and finished products), television, and art. I can help you with characters, themes, imagery, language, and context. What I'd really love is to help give you a launching pad to independent exploration so you can find what you love. Beyond learning how to explore a text, I can help you with essay-writing. Whether you're starting from scratch or need help perfecting a work in progress, we can look at formulating ideas, structuring an argument, expressing your ideas concisely and effectively, and grammar.
