Drama School Audition Preparation and Acting Lessons - Abbey Wood - Private lessons

Drama School Audition Preparation and Acting Lessons

From 28 £ /h

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.

About Me

I'm an actor, writer and director who loves working with actors to create new and exciting theatre. I have experience teaching drama and writing as well as knowing what it's like to audition for Drama Schools across the country.

I believe the best way to teach/learn drama is through play. We lose the passion for playing as we grow up however drama and theatre thrives off it. It's one of the pain things many drama schools look for - your ability to adapt!

Learning languages has been proven to have an exceptional effect on your mental abilities and memory - then why not start today? Whether you are a beginner looking to learn a new language, or a student/professional wanting to improve your skills, these Italian classes are highly personalised for your level and your needs.
When teaching a class, I like to mix some reading, listening and comprehension, writing and speaking. I also tend to only speak Italian, to stimulate my students to speak and understand the language. Moreover, I like to test my students regularly, to assess their strengths and weaknesses and adjust the teaching accordingly.

Hi! I am a native Spanish student spending his last year of a dual BA in London. As a lover of my language with acquired experience on the field of teaching, I would love to be your new Spanish tutor!

From beginners until fluent speakers, I am glad to share my mother tongue with you. In my course, you will find personalised content depending on who you are. In fact, I always do my best to adapt the lessons to my students' own hobbies and interests. My objective is to make Spanish a complement of your their life, not something "different" or distant. I want you to see this language as an ally that will open you a universe of professional, social and cultural possibilities during your life. Even if I come from Spain, I will gladly focus in any of the Spanish speaking cultures that may interest you the most, if this is what you wish. As a matter of fact, I did a two years degree in Latin American studies. Thus, I acquired a deep knowledge on every country between Mexico and Chile!

I search for students who are motivated by the language and believe that learning Spanish can be a great experience for their lives. Don't worry about the starting point, what matters is the distance that can be made from it.

Hasta pronto! See you soon!

I have five years of experience as a French tutor with young teenagers and adult, from France and from abroad. My students would say about me that I am kind, patient, dedicating but demanding. You'll have to practice seriously but I'll make sure not make you feel overwhelmed.

You'll learn to speak, read and understand the French, and will have the opportunity to dive into the French culture and literature. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry you'll soon be able to speak fluently.

Based on a submission on “in”, the seven(7) elements of public speaking are the speaker, the message, the channel, the listener, the feedback, the interference, and the situation.

The five key skills we'll talk about today are:
Knowing your audience.
Tone and timing.
Body language.
Dealing with nerves.
Practice.

Your voice is the most important tool you will use as a public speaker. One simple way to improve your voice is by learning to breathe fully and deeply from your diaphragm. Diaphragmatic breathing, or belly breathing, is essential for accessing your most powerful voice.

Speak, speak, speak. Let's start right off by saying that there isn't a magic pill for better speaking. ...
Reflect on your conversations. ...
Listen and read. ...
Prepare cheat sheets. ...
Pick up the phone. ...
Record your voice. ...
Learn phrases rather than single words. ...
Have fun.

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.

Hi there

My name is Phil and I am a professional Actor and Musician who is still very active in the professional industry.

I'm here to share some of the knowledge, experience, and skills that I have learned after 3 years of training (Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts) and over 14 years of professional experience.

I have worked extensively in a wide range of areas within the industry and have experience in the West End (The Lion King, Once), TV (Red Dwarf, Diagnosis), Voice Over (various Video Games), Touring and International theatre, devising and even using my skills to train people in the corporate sector.

I am also a singer, musician and puppeteer.

I offer a no-fuss, no-pretension, welcoming approach that invites everyone to sharpen their skills or take their first steps into the world of Acting.

To this end, I also co-founded Acting Unlocked, an Acting coaching service offering 8-week workshops and one-on-one classes as well as Masterclasses in more specific areas.

I also teach workshops at a number of top London-based Drama Schools.

I'd love to hear from you and work towards your goals in the Acting world whether that's to get into Drama School, sharpen your skills as a professional or even just introduce you to Acting for the first time.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks!
Phil

I specialise in tutoring French and/or English for school just as well for higher education levels or different age groups. As a native speaker in both languages and as a linguaphile who took interest in learning other languages such as Spanish and Arabic, I am aware of the struggles that might come with attempting to learn a new language. For my students, I would start off by evaluating where they are at in terms of their level of speaking just as well as writing, in order to know what to work on and what they've already mastered. I would provide homework, just as well as challenges to place them in real life situations where they would have to use their skills and knowledge. In addition to this, providing a feedback on what they've accomplished, what needs further improvement and work.

I.m a RADA trained Actor/Producer/Acting Coach with 17 years experience teaching acting and coaching. I am currently an Audition Panel Member on the RADA 3 Year Acting Course.

What I offer:

Drama School Audition Preparation
Aspiring to train at a top drama school? I offer drama school audition prep, helping actors choose the right monologues, refine their delivery, and approach auditions with confidence and authenticity.

Preparation for Castings & Self-Tapes
Master the art of self-taping and auditioning with confidence. Whether you're preparing for a high-stakes casting or need to create a compelling self-tape for Spotlight UK, I’ll guide you through script choices, performance techniques, and the technical aspects to ensure your submission stands out.

Developing a Role & Character Work
Already cast in a role? Let’s dive deep into your character’s motivations, relationships, and emotional truth. I provide detailed script breakdowns and scene analysis, helping you make bold, authentic choices that bring your character to life.

On-Location & On-Set Coaching & Support
Acting on set comes with its own challenges. I offer real-time support for actors working on film, TV, and theatre projects, ensuring that your performance remains fresh, focused, and dynamic under professional conditions.

Voice & Speech Coaching for Actors
Finding your voice is essential to a compelling performance. I work with actors on clarity, diction, and enunciation, ensuring their voice is expressive, powerful, and precise. This is not an elocution class, but rather a deep exploration of how to use your voice effectively for performance. A strong, expressive voice is key to a compelling performance. Through breath work and floor work, I help actors connect with their natural voice, unlocking greater clarity, resonance, and control.

Why Work With Me?
I am passionate about helping actors unlock their full potential by providing a supportive, challenging, and professional coaching environment. Whether you're preparing for an audition, developing a role, or looking to strengthen your voice and speech, my coaching is tailored to meet your individual needs.
