Acting classes: Bringing a character from page to life

From 17.82 € /h

As a recent graduate of Mountview and having worked in the industry for five years, I would love to now share my passion for acting!

In my classes, I would like to give the student as much freedom as possible. The student can bring a piece of text they would like to work on or I can suggest material. We will explore different methods of getting to the truth of the character whilst also making sure to analyze the text to best represent what the writer has written.
Dependent on the level and what the student wants from the lessons, we will talk about targets, objectives and many more important concepts when analyzing a character and piece of text. My passion in acting is to find the truth of the character but also to allow for the actors' unique personality and experience to bring interesting choices to their work and, ultimately, to have fun and enjoy this incredible way to tell a story !

My classes are open to all ages and levels. I have five years of experience working with children and teenagers through being an actor and workshop leader on Theatre In Education tours. Recently I started working as an after school drama club teacher and producer and realized how much I enjoyed sharing and working with others on the skills of an actor and performer.

About Me

Hello !!!
My name is Nadya. I grew up in Bordeaux, France from the age of four years old and moved back to the UK at the age of 17 to start my Bachelors Degree in Animal Behaviour at the University of Chester and graduated in 2019 with a 2:1.
I have lessons available in singing, acting and speaking French.

Throughout, my time at University, I discovered a passion for acting and musical theater. The same year as my graduation, I was offered my first professional gig as an performer in a Theatre In Education tour in Italy. Since then, I have worked as an interactive actor, a lead singer and performer for various companies such as Siblu Villages, Curtis Productions and Archer Street bars. I have just finished studying at Mountview as a Musical Theatre student.

Alongside teaching singing and acting, I also teach beginners French. I grew up in France and am therefore, fluent in French. I spent my whole education up until University in France and will be able to pass on my knowledge to others through my experience and continued practice of the language.

As a teacher, I would describe myself as bubbly and a good listener. I believe that the only way to learn is in a safe and fun environment as that is how I grew and learnt in my latest education. I am also a very good listener and have experience with mental health issues, therefore, I can also be an ear for student if they are struggling and just need a good chat! I thoroughly enjoy teaching and cannot think of a better way to spend my time then sharing my passion with others and helping to create more creative and empathetic individuals.

I am very excited to get started with Apprentus and look forward to hearing from you very soon! If you do have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Singing: Discover your true voice and the joys of singing

19 € /h

As a recent graduate of Mountview and having worked in the industry for five years, I would love to now share my passion for singing! I have been singing for twelve years now and have had many amazing opportunities as a professional vocalist. I started as a pop singer but, in recent years, I have turned towards musical theater. As a performer, it is very important to be able to sing different genres of music. Therefore, I am able to help my students in whatever genre they need through my experience and knowledge. Whether you want to sing the latest Olivia Rodrigo song or are a big fan of Les Miserables, I can provide you with guidance into getting the sound that you want.

In my classes, I would like to give the student as much freedom as possible. The student can bring a song they would like to work on or I can suggest material. We will explore different methods and find out what works best for you!
Dependent on the level and what the student wants from the lessons, we can also talk about the anatomy of body and why we use certain methods to reach those hard notes. My passion in singing is to help students sing the songs they want to without damaging themselves and in a safe and fun environment where making mistakes is encouraged! I can also provide tips and tricks for those looking to incorporate their acting skills into singing.

My classes are open to all ages and levels. I have five years of experience working with children and teenagers through being an actor and workshop leader on Theatre In Education tours. Recently I started working as an after school drama club teacher and producer and realized how much I enjoyed sharing and working with others on the skills of a singer and performer.

I am a Manchester based actress and I have been working professionally in the Musical Theatre industry for 10 years after graduating from Laine Theatre Arts in 2015. I have been lucky enough to travel the world as a Lead Vocalist and perform in several plays, pantomimes, musicals and commercials.

I am super passionate about teaching others and getting the absolute best out of them. I truly believe encouragement and confidence is the key to success! I have taught Musical Theatre, Singing and Dance for over 15 years and specialise in acting through song. I love bringing my acting training in to songs and really thinking about the words we are singing and what we are trying to achieve through this, what is the purpose of the song etc - this is so important and can be transformational! I can also help with technique, warm ups and cool downs, vocal health and audition prep in either Pop or Musical Theatre. Also because I am still currently working in the industry I have first hand knowledge in what is happening at the moment and how things work.

Whether you are a beginner and just want to try it out for fun or if you are looking for help with drama school auditions/ professional auditions then I can tailor the lesson to suit you :)

Zoom classes or happy to teach at students house if based around the Manchester or Preston area.
