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.

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.
