PRIVATE ACTING, SELF TAPE AND AUDITION COACHING IN PECKHAM RYE
course price icon
From 59.16 $ /h
arrow icon
Hi my name is Rich. I offer one 2 one acting sessions in Peckham Rye to help all levels and abilities improve confidence in their performance.

I am a British actor and performer with over 20 years of experience working in TV, Film and Theatre.
My TV credits include over 200 episodes of playing Dr Caleb Knight on BBC's hit series Casualty 2014-2020. 24 episodes of hit teen soap Hollyoaks playing Father Francis. For film i had lead roles in the box office smash British film STREETDANCE 3D and the Film Festival hit EVE.

In 30min or 1 hour sessions we will work through the text(if there is a scene to prep or i can provide interesting material) and discuss ways of applying the best techniques to unlock your performances full potential. Whether it be for a big audition or just a bit of fun i will offer a calm and productive environment for you to find creativity and flourish.

I have trained extensively in the Meisner technique as well as a more Method approach at Guildhall Music & Drama School. There really isn't a set technique i teach from, rather a balance of what works for the individual student as we are human and all work in completely different ways. I am here to help you use your instrument and unlock your true instincts to help you shine in your own extraordinary way.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss how I can be of service to you and then let's go from there. I can also read in and film your self tape audition with you using my own tried and tested set up. Filming can either be done within the 30min/hour coaching session or as a separate filming session in its own right. You'll never feel rushed while striving to film your perfect take as i am well aware that stress can hamper any performance. The time is yours and if we go over slightly so be it.

I can also offer online classes, please contact me for details.
Extra information
Bring any material you wish to work on. I may ask you to send me copies prior to our session so i can familiarise myself and prep for our session. I can also offer online classes, please contact me for details.

A class or series of classes designed to help young people express themselves in a fun and confident way. Lots of games, story-telling and imaginary play for younger students, and for teenagers a confidence boost for oral presentations at school or interacting with peers, perhaps even going for university/first job interviews.

Classes tailored to each individual and what *you* would like to get out of the session.

I have a background in corporate trainging as well as teaching english as a second language to students and working lots in theatre for children.

It would be great to meet you! Happy travel within London! ❤

You are not happy with your dating life ?
You want to have more fun with the ladies ?
Or you're just want to settle with a girl ?
I'll be your dating coach and you'll have results as soon as possible if you choose to work with me.
I was someone like you before, someone who was "unlucky" with the ladies, who was kinda shy and awkward while I was seing my friends just having wonderful times with girls.
Now I mastered the science of feminine psychology ( in other words see things from a girls perspective ) and now I don't have any problems talking to girls, getting girls, having a girlfriend and stay in good relationship her.
I'll explain you how girls think ( When it comes to flirt ), what they want, and what they expect from a guy when you approach them and you'll see that is really different from what we've learned on TV.

A step-by-step tuition program that:
Builds self-esteem
Increases resilience
Improves wellbeing
Improves communication
Improves study skills

Resources provided include:
-Mentoring
-3D animation videos to explain concepts
-Worksheets
-Other supplementary materials

Who i've worked with;
-students at prestigious schools across the world (e.g. Eton College, St. Paul's)
-students at the top universities (e.g. Oxford University, Yale University)
-student athletes (e.g. Harvard/Stanford and Team GBR Olympics teams)
-recent graduates at the world's top firms (e.g. Goldman Sachs, Slaughter & May)

This programme has been turned into a workshop and will be delivered at both Oxford and Cambridge universities for first year students.

Every student needs assistance to rebound after the pandemic and lockdowns. I have the expertise to get students back on track.

I have tutored students from the most prestigious schools in the country as well as students internationally.

I have delivered talks at schools on student success and have authored four books on topics such as productivity, time-management, self-discipline & confidence.

I founded the first online personal development academy for teenagers based around a holistic approach to learning. I also create wellbeing & mental health resources for young people at schools and universities.

My role is not only in preparing students for the future but it is giving them the confidence to shape it. My objective is to inspire, motivate and cultivate ambitious young students who have the ability to identify and fulfil their aspirations.

I combine five interlinked components that, if worked on in tandem, can drastically change a students life for the better and aid them in becoming the pioneers of the future.

These 5 strands are:
1) Mindset
2) Wellbeing Management
3) Study Skills
4) Life Skills
5) Leadership Development

I place a special emphasis on personal development and this is what makes me different. I believe it is possible to equip students with the mindset and skillset to radically alter their lives for the better.

My instruction goes beyond this by including study skills such as note-taking, memory improvement techniques, speed-reading, and effective revision into its program. These skills will stay with pupils and enlighten their entire academic tenure.

Finally, my role is also about offering guidance to students in terms of their current issues, academic future and potential career paths. My educational system is a result of years of lessons I myself learned progressing through the academic arena all the way to university level. In addition, it encompasses all the research I have conducted in self-improvement, effective study skills and successful leadership. These methods have been tested and proven successful. I hope to impart this knowledge to the next generation and watch them do great things with it.

Yours sincerely,
Ash

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.

Maths helps us to better understand the world around us. Practicing mathematical skills helps to advance your ability to problem-solve and increase your analytical thinking. As it is so crucial for development, this subject is compulsory for students up to the age of 16, therefore it is beneficial that your child is consistently up-to-date on their curriculum.

During my sessions, I will assess their abilities in different topics. I will then focus on teaching them in their weaker areas to better prepare them for class assessments or SATs for Year 6s. However, if your child is advanced for their age, I will help them continue to progress and learn topics that may not have been covered at school yet.

Depending of the spaces (Webcam or on location) the class would differ.
My main aim is for people to have access to a system of learning through which they can absorb and understand a practice that they could then bring with them wherever and whenever they want.
My way of teaching involves for the moment 17 different chapter, involving improvisation tools (Movement), theatre exercises, stretching and fitness.
All the classes are customised according to the students needs and objectives.

(This will include learning what makes and how to write good supporting statements, CVs and cover letters). Don’t worry if you are new to this subject, the lessons/classes are well tailored for every ability.

Ciar is a recent graduate of Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance; a versatile queer dance artist freelancing in London with a background in Hip-Hop, Circus Arts, Classical Ballet and Contemporary dance.

I hope to offer everyone an exciting and enjoyable time whilst pushing thier physical capabilities. Dance should be fun!

My class explores a choreographic style of contemporary dance with clear influences from Cunningham technique and my recent expirience working with Jason Mabana. The work will challenge your coordination, rhythm, attention to detail and demostrate a contemporary application of classical teachnical forms, but all through explorative and original material.

The class is structured like any other technical class, each exercise desinged to methodicaly warm up and work the body, building on the previous exercises, before culminating in a longer choreography where we can pull everything together and just have a boogie.

I can tailor the work to each student however I would reccomend having some technical expirience, classical or contemporary.

As an actor myself, I know how scary auditions/Drama School auditions can be. With each school requesting different skills and monologues, it can be hard knowing what works well for you as a performer and what will show you off the most. As someone who has been through the process and was successfully offered places at East 15, Lamda and Alra, I would now love to be able to support others through the journey

During my lessons, we will focus on your Classical and Contemporary monologues while exploring the best audition techniques for in person or self tapes. I can answer questions, help you find the right scripts for you and support you through the process.
