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

About Me
Hi There

My name is Phil and I am a mixed-Race, London-based Actor and Musician.

I have worked extensively in the professional industry since graduating Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in 2009.

Since then I have performed in everything from plays, musicals, TV, Voice-over, and film and would love to share all my experience with you in a welcoming, no-fuss, and engaging way.

My credits include The Lion King (London West End), Once (The London Palladium), Little Shop Of Horrors (UK Tour), Our Town (Regent's Park Theatre) Handbagged (English Theatre Frankfurt), The History Boys (Theatre By The Lake, Keswick), Red Dwarf (Dave), Diagnosis (BBC), Guitar Hero Live (Video Game) and many others.

I also recently set up ActingUnlocked.co.uk with a good friend of mine and offer group workshops, one-on-one tuition, and even corporate confidence training through that business.

I really believe that Acting is for everyone. Whether you're a professional who is looking to sharpen your skills, prep for an audition or really focus on a specific part of your craft, OR if you're an absolute beginner just looking to take your first steps into the world of Acting, I believe I am the right coach for you.

I pride myself on leading with kindness, enthusiasm, honesty, and empathy and I'm really keen to help you through our sessions by making them as engaging and unintimidating as possible.

Get in touch with any questions or queries you have and I'd be happy to help!

Kwaku
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.

Let’s refine your craft and take your acting to the next level!
