Take a look inside some real lesson footage below.
No two people work in exactly the same way, and no two lessons are identical.
Depending on the person and what we are working towards, a lesson might involve exploring a character, changing the way a speech lands, experimenting with vocal choices, developing physical freedom, working on audience connection or discovering why something that felt effortless at home suddenly becomes difficult when someone is watching. That might be in preparation for a LAMDA examination, a graduate interview, a professional presentation or another important communication challenge.
You’re not alone. These are exactly the challenges my adult professional clients come to me with — and together, we overcome them.
Watch the work we do in lessons
The clips on this page come from genuine one-to-one lessons with my students. They are not demonstrations created for the website.
The examples currently featured are from LAMDA Acting lessons, but the principles you will see — presence, spontaneity, intention, physical and vocal communication, and responding to the person in front of you — run through all of my work with children, teenagers and adults.
They show the process as it really happens: trying something, receiving feedback, making an adjustment, discovering something new and trying again.

Playing the Opposite
Grade 6 Acting Lesson Excerpt
An excerpt from a recent online Grade 6 Acting lesson exploring the importance of “playing the opposite” in performance.
Often, the most interesting acting choices emerge when actors resist the obvious emotional reading and allow contradiction, complexity and tension into the scene.

Playing Intentions
Grade 6 Acting Lesson Excerpt
An excerpt from a recent online Grade 6 Acting lesson exploring the importance of playing intentions rather than simply reciting text.
Strong acting choices are active, specific and connected to what the character is trying to achieve moment by moment.

Close, responsive coaching — online
Online coaching does not mean distant coaching.
As a professional actor, I am trained to notice subtle changes in voice, pace, physical behaviour, intention and connection. I respond to what is happening in front of me moment by moment, just as I would if we were working in the same room.
The screen simply becomes the space in which we work together.
For many people, working from a familiar environment can also give them greater freedom to experiment, make mistakes and try again.
My approach
My job is to work out what is getting in the way of you communicating freely and effectively, then find a practical way of helping you experience something different.
A great deal of my coaching involves helping people communicate from the present moment, so that the words they say feel alive rather than pre-planned. Rather than aiming for a polished or “correct” delivery, I help people find something more alive and responsive, using their whole being — voice, body, thought, intention and attention all working together.
The more you experience those changes for yourself, the more you begin to trust your own instincts. That growing self-belief is what builds genuine confidence — not simply learning how to look confident.
Ready to work together?
Whether you are preparing for a LAMDA examination, a graduate interview, a professional presentation or simply want to communicate with greater confidence and freedom, the first step is finding the right kind of support for you.
