Acting and Playwriting Coaching

Von 63.28 Fr /Std

Are you ready to bring your acting and writing to life in ways you never imagined? Whether you’re an actor looking to deepen your performance skills or a playwright aiming to craft powerful narratives, I offer coaching that is tailored to your individual creative journey.

I am Joy, a director, writer, and musician with a passion for storytelling that explores themes of Black Femininity and postcolonial imagination. Originally from Dallas, Texas, and currently based in London, my work has been featured in The Irish Times and The Sunday Times as part of their “Ones to Watch in 2024” list. As a director and playwright, I’ve received recognition from prestigious bodies including the Verity Bargate Award, Theatre503 International Playwriting Award, and the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts from Harvard University.

Having honed my craft through experiences such as being a Director SEED at Rough Magic Theatre and a writer under Enda Walsh’s mentorship for Theatre For One, I bring a wealth of expertise and artistic vision to my coaching sessions. Whether you're working on character development, stage presence, script analysis, or developing original plays, I create a space where you can grow as both an artist and a storyteller.

My coaching is deeply rooted in real-world industry experience, informed by my directing work with actors, as well as my work as a writer for theatre and film. Together, we’ll explore your craft with the intention of unlocking the authentic, dynamic performance or powerful, evocative writing that is uniquely yours.

Whether you're just beginning your creative journey or you're an experienced artist looking to push the boundaries of your work, I offer guidance that is personalised, nurturing, and challenging. I’ll help you sharpen your technique, discover new approaches to storytelling, and find the confidence to truly bring your artistic voice to the stage or page.

I teach Davinci Resolve and Premiere Pro from beginner to advanced.

In the beginner and intermediate courses, all the important basics are covered and practiced using practical applications.

The advanced courses go into finer details, such as advanced editing techniques or shed light on specific processes such as proxy workflows or colour management.

Structure:

The technical lessons are structured in 1 hour modules, using practical examples and allow time for experimentation and questions.

I also teach editing theory and creative strategies across many different genres and styles. These are less structured and are tailored to specific needs.

Open Sessions are also possible, where you may bring along a personal project and I will offer you technical assistance, feedback or tips.

I will teach you to sing in a healthy way and to use your voice safely in all styles, whether musical, pop or classical.
I'll prepare you for entrance exams, improve your technique if you're already a professional, or just work with you on your favorite songs for fun.

You don't feel like playing superficial anymore. Would you like to immerse yourself in the emotional world of the role and do so with ease, joy of playing and without suffering?
Then you are right with me.

I graduated with honors from the University of the Arts in 2011 and have been in business for several years.
My pupils are represented on stages and on TV in German-speaking countries (Berliner Ensemble, Stage Entertainment, Soko, Lindenstrasse), have been admitted to drama schools (Ernst Busch, HMT Rostock), or work as directors and speakers.

My concern is to respond to your specific questions and problems, to awaken your artistic potential, to motivate you in your challenges, but above all to provide technology with a lot of empathy and love for art. (At least that's what my students say;))

If you would like to know more about me and my work, do not hesitate to write to me directly or take a look at my homepage:

Acting is a variety of opportunities: it's playful, as an actor you can work in different fields, theatre, film, voice-over and radio.
I can help you to grow and be confident to get into the acting school or into work. Furthermore, I can teach you how to be able to work independently on a role.
With children I love to jump into improvisations and see and guide where it goes to create something magnificent.
If you need more confidence in public speaking I am all ears and will help you to gain the confidence.
Moreover, we can work on Radio podcasts as I have over 10 years experience in directing, producing and hosting podcasts.
What ever it is you want to work on, or refresh your knowledge I'll pick you up where you stand.

Video editing is a essential and often overlooked skill nowadays. More and more people need video for their business, carreers, hobbies or other personal projects, and the easier way to make a video go from amateur looking to professional looking is to improve the quality of the editing. Besides that, things like a good workflow, asset organization and other good practices when editing will speed up the edit and make the process as a whole more efficient.

In my classes, I believe in understanding the student's needs for video editing and thus curating the content I teach to fit those needs.

Studying for an audition and want some help working on monologues or duologues?
Wanting to induce a more dramatic performance in to your song?
Interested in how drama skills can help your public speaking/presentation and communication skills?

Or just generally curious about anything drama or acting related - whether it's about analysing a text, writing your own script or delving more into any of the many methods you can use to develop your skills as an actor an performer?

Then I might be able to help you!

I'm a professional actor, trained at Cygnet Theatre in Exeter, now living in London. I have extensive experience performing in immersive theatre - communicating, catching and holding the attention of a wide variety of people.

I also have experience in storytelling, working with and teaching children of all ages, as well as writing and producing theatre.

Starting drama classes as a teenager was one of the most important things I ever did. It help me build confidence, develop empathy and ground me as the person I am today.

I love performing and creating experiences for my audience - watching their faces as they're surprised, entertained or disgusted by the stories I tell.

But just as important as that is the opportunity to share some of the tools I learned from drama school with other people - tools that can be used every day in communication, emotional regulation and play.

I am more than happy to tailor classes to your specific needs, so if you think I can help you out, get in touch and we will talk!

I am a trained actor from one of the UK's best drama schools and I have a background in publicity and politics: I worked as a publicist and media trainer for politicians for 7 years (my previous employers include Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament, the Austrian Liberal Party NEOS and Sadiq Khan, mayor of London), accompanying them to their TV and media appearances and preparing them for interviews and TV debates.

As an actor, my credits include several feature films and a number of theatre plays, including "Richard II", "A Winter's Tale" and "Waiting for Godot". I am bilingual in English and German and am happy to work in both languages.

Whether you are preparing for a presentation, a media appearance, interview or you just want to improve your confidence in speaking in front of a group, I will make sure to tailor our sessions to your individual goals and needs.

Public speaking means sharing our ideas with others, which is an incredibly personal and vulnerable place to be in and I can offer you techniques to combat stage fright and enable you to be your best, authentic and confident self.

Hi, I’m Isabella. I'm an actress trained internationally, with work experience across film, theatre, and TV. I’ve studied at places like IDSA in London, Stella Adler in LA, and Mulholland Academy in Amsterdam, and my training includes techniques like Chubbuck, Meisner, and more.

In our sessions, we’ll always start with where you’re at, whether you’re at the beginning of your acting journey or already stepping into auditions. I tailor everything to your needs, from scene work and character prep to building emotional range, sharpening your audition skills, or simply feeling more grounded and present in front of the camera or on stage.

Acting is not just for the stage — it can also be a powerful tool for personal development. There are many wonderful exercises that help you connect with yourself, your body, your emotions, and your energy.
Have you ever wondered why your voice shakes, or why you get a stomach ache before speaking in public?
It’s not all in your head — it’s a complex mind–body connection.

I have a background in theatre, having studied theatre directing and completing my PhD in 2015. Even during my studies, I was fascinated by acting exercises and attended many professional training sessions on the subject.

Gradually, I began teaching. My clients were not only artists, but also managers, IT professionals, doctors, teachers, and many others. I quickly realized how valuable these exercises are for both professional and personal development.

Over the years, I ran a school called everydayACTOR in Bratislava, where I taught more than 2,500 clients.

Currently, I teach young teachers at KPH Wien how to integrate drama into their lessons.

I also offer private coaching to the public. If you’d like to improve your confidence, presence, or communication skills, I would love to work with you!
