Experience / Qualifications

I have some on camera experience but most of it is on stage. I've played in few plays. I used to play the guitar but I'm afraid I've forgotten most if it.

Class for students auditioning for drama schools or other projects - help with confidence/interview technique as well as assistance choosing monologues/scenes.

Fun but realistic coaching that gets students as ready as possible for the audition experience

Helping you to master the techniques regularly employed by those actors who work the most, my classes will enable you to develop your approach to various texts and highlight the information you need to provide your characters with solid foundations.
A professional actor for over twenty years (National, RSC, The Old Vic, West End) and an Olivier Award nominee, my classes will share with you the toolkit necessary to make your way in the acting profession.
Having tutored for all ages and levels of experience in the past, if you're a beginner looking for help with a speech, or a more experienced actor looking to step up to the next level, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

I'm a professional Actor and have worked extensively in TV, Film and Theatre. I've been teaching, directing and coaching for around 6 years. I've directed and taught at The National Youth Theatre of GB, Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts and Stage Coach.

This class is aimed at anyone wanting to get into Drama School.
We will spend time talking about how to choose the right monologue for you as well as breaking it down and using different techniques to embody the words as your own and performing them.

I'm an international actor that graduated from Rose Bruford College. My sessions will provide the training that's best adapted to your needs. Whether you want to apply to a specific course, prepare an audition, shoot a self-tape or quite simply want to know more about acting.
Do not hesitate to message me in order to know more.

Unlock the core elements of powerful performance in this comprehensive class, designed for actors of all levels who want to deepen their understanding of text and fully embody their characters. Through a combination of practical exercises and in-depth script analysis, you'll learn how to dissect a script to uncover the motivations, relationships, and emotional nuances that bring your character to life.

In this class, you will:

Break down scenes and monologues to explore structure, themes, and subtext.
Develop a clear, actionable process for approaching new scripts and preparing for roles.
Identify key beats, objectives, and obstacles that drive the character’s journey.
Experiment with physicality and voice to find your character's unique traits and mannerisms.
Learn techniques for playing with stakes, intentions, and emotional truth.
Engage in improvisational exercises to discover organic, in-the-moment reactions.
Whether you're working on a classic play or a contemporary piece, this class will give you the tools to fully inhabit a role and deliver a compelling, authentic performance. You'll leave with a greater understanding of how to connect with text and the confidence to create dynamic characters from the page to the stage.

Perfect for: Aspiring actors, performers, or anyone looking to improve their skills in character work and script interpretation.

Looking to get into drama school? Prepare for an audition? Or just want to improve your acting skills? I offer tailored acting classes to suit your needs. I previously trained as an actor myself and now I work as acting coach and a director with both children and adults. I have worked in drama schools and with students hoping to gain entry so I understand the process and what's required from an audition. I am also a specialist in screen acting training being the head of acting for the Young Film Academy, working with children aged 10-17, so if this is your desired focus then get in touch.

My approach is a mix of traditional Stanislavski as well as physio-physical actor training, I aim to work within the needs of the student and understand their personal methodology and style. I have a special interest in working with neurodiverse actors and finding unique ways of approaching training for a variety of needs.

Singing is an important skill whether you are a beginner looking to build confidence or a seasoned performer looking to retain good technique.

We will build on techniques from the 'life after estill' principles. This will be subtly incorporated into the lesson and you will find that breathing and projection will improve quite quickly. This class is suitable for anyone of any age.

Welcome to RIDDIM KIDS!
We are a creative hub (Croydon based), tailoring in Voice Over production and music hub for kids aged 5-11.
We also offer 1:1 lessons at our home studio.

Our mission is to develop self expression, inspring confidence and creativity.

Whether you little one love singing, acting or simply just finding their unique voice, RIDDIM KIDS is here to help them shine.

Get in touch to book you first session.

My lessons are primarily for adults. You can be needing a coach for an audition or a full production, maybe you want to find that spark again by trying a different method, or you might want to try acting out, great! I can adjust to whatever you need. My lessons are at least an hour or more. I have a vocal/light physical warm-up that I like to do at the beginning of subsequent lessons. I remember one of my first teachers saying "An actor should be a blank canvas." And this made sense at first. So I went up on our small stage to do a monologue and it was terrible. My teacher said, "Kamil, you didn't really do anything." "Well, yeah? I am a blank canvas" As a neurodiverse person, I am overanalytical, literal, incredibly anxious and have difficulty speaking with full confidence.

However, my Master's level education from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has given me a toolkit where I can work towards placing my self-doubt and uncertainty behind 'The Work.' The Work is the hours you've spent in the text, the pencil markings in the script, the crinkled pages from taking it in and out of your backpack. It's the objective truth that you can rely on when your self-awareness doesn't want you to be the character, when you can feel an audience member looking at you, when the person behind the camera laughs at something you didn't inherently think was funny. It's your character's lifesaver.

For those that may require more structure when they receive text, I can help you deconstruct that overwhelming building into its key components. Whether it's from a play you've been newly cast in, a voiceover script you can't wrap your head around, or just a simple self-tape, we can work to break down text that lets BE that blank canvas on the day, but you know what paints you've used, what strokes you can utilise, you know the feel of the paintbrush from all the canvases you've practised on. Also, it's a good way to memorise lines. And that's just a nice bonus.

Looking to sharpen your skills, nail your auditions, or prepare for drama school? Join me for expert-led acting training designed to give you the confidence, technique, and clarity you need to succeed.
