Professional Actor offering Acting Tuition for Drama School Auditions, LAMDA Exams & Much More

From 29 £ /h

My Lessons and What I Teach:

My main job as an Acting Tutor is to spark your imagination and guide you, at your own pace, to a place where you can take ownership over both your craft as a performer AND your own self-expression as an individual.

My teaching practise is about meeting the individual needs of the student:

• If you are someone with the ambition of going to Drama School or pursuing a career as an Actor - I have a programme that I can provide you with that will give you the best possible chance of getting you to the next stage in your career.

• Similarly, if you are a child/teenager/adult who is looking to gain Performance qualifications with the LAMDA Exam Board - I have 3 years experience in preparing students for the Acting, Verse & Prose and Public Speaking Exams that LAMDA offer and would be able to guide you through fulfilling your potential in these exams.

• Equally, if you are someone who just wants to feel you can articulate yourself more confidently in everyday and professional life - I am also qualified to provide you with skills and techniques to support you in making that possible.

Fundamentally, my lessons are tailor made to ensure the needs of the individual are prioritised above all else. I therefore have varying tutoring programmes depending on what it is you want to get out of the sessions.

Methodology:

My teaching is rooted in the belief that Playing is the most effective way of Working. I employ techniques used by Konstantin Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov, Jerzy Grotowski, Patsy Rodenburg, Rudolf Laban and many other practitioners to provide you with a diverse tool-kit that you can take ownership of and use in a way that suits you.

Regardless of what you want to get of the sessions, these 5 main areas of focus remain as a constant at the bedrock my practise in order to ensure a rounded and cohesive training. They are as follows:

1. Physical Ease and Engagement
2. Vocal Ease and Engagement
3. Sense of Play and Use of Imagination
4. Textual Comprehension
5. Stagecraft and Understanding the Theatrical Space

Extra information

Always make sure you come to class wearing clothes you can easily move in. Performing is a physical activity and we may do some exercises that require some ease of movement.

Also always bring a notebook and a pen/pencil so you can take notes.

I truly think learning Spanish has to be enjoyable and challenging (positively) and my aim is to create a fun and positive learning environment in which you can really thrive, feel confident and tranquilo.

I like to approach my students to grammar structures and cultural comprehension of the language by a variety of methods and sources such as images, videos, interviews, audios, etc. and adjust exercises of reading, listening and conversation to topics related to their particular interests and personal motivations.

Languages are becoming more and more essential to solidify a good understanding and communication of this world’s constant change. Therefore, Spanish, being one of the most popular language, becomes an important tool. In order to speak it, the class is composed by grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Depending on the time and frequency, the student will be be able to articulate thoughts and write them.
It is vital that the language is spoken, hence, depending on the student’s level, the class will be provided in Spanish and English (swapping when necessary).

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

Straight forward acting, audition, & drama school entrance coaching by drama school graduate and prior audition panelist. Can help with producing, directing, acting and public speaking.

My sessions are all about creating a safe, comfortable and fun environment for us to explore your piece. I'm also happy to help suggest pieces and find the one that's right for you.

I like to pull from multiple techniques and ways of working to adapt my approach to best fit you.

If you've ever felt acting coaching or training can be too pompous, complicated, or abstract then my sessions might be for you as I look to avoid this! I strive to ensure all of the work we do will be grounded in reality and practically useful for your performance or audition.

As a communications proifessional I also offer classes on public speaking/presentation skills.

If you're from an under represented group within the industry (socio-economic background, race, ethnicity, disability, neurodiversity etc...) and might struggle to afford my rates, let me know as I'd be keen to help!

Parts of speech are the fundamental building blocks of language that help us understand how words function in a sentence. There are eight main parts of speech:

1. Noun: A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. For example, "cat," "London," and "happiness" are all nouns.

2. Pronoun: A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repetition. Examples include "he," "she," "it," and "they."

3. Verb: A verb is a word that expresses an action, state, or occurrence. It tells what the subject of the sentence does or is. Examples of verbs are "run," "eat," and "think."

4. Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It gives more information about the noun or pronoun. For instance, "blue," "tall," and "delicious" are adjectives.

5. Adverb: An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It provides information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. Examples are "quickly," "very," and "often."

6. Preposition: A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in the sentence. It indicates location, time, direction, or other spatial relationships. Common prepositions include "in," "on," "under," and "after."

7. Conjunction: A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. Some common conjunctions are "and," "but," "or," and "because."

8. Interjection: An interjection is a word or phrase used to express strong feelings or emotions. It stands alone and is not grammatically connected to the rest of the sentence. Examples include "wow," "ouch," and "bravo."

Understanding the different parts of speech is essential for constructing grammatically correct and coherent sentences. By identifying the role of each word, we can communicate more effectively and clearly.

Singing is an incredible skill to have. Whether it is to improve confidence or to try and forge a career within the arts. I delve into the technique of singing and look at how acting through song can enhance a performance and indeed the sound of the voice. Every song has a story. From start to finish you want to colour the words and make them interesting.

I also want everyone to gain confidence in my lessons. Being confident is the first step in the world of vocal studies.

I tend to start my lesson with a substantial warm up just to make sure we are being safe when singing and warming up sufficiently. The next step to work through a song. Looking at how to improve the song. As we move through I tend to look at one subject per session for example how to use belt properly? Or how to add falsetto? Or pop inflections?

It all depends on the lesson itself.

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 will teach you just about any style of singing in fun ways, to fit your unique vocal goals! With my bespoke classes to identify & culture your vocal tonality & expression, we can together navigate through singing, breathing techniques, oratorship & acting skills; or whatever you prefer!

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES:
You discover & build:
- confidence in your voice projection & performance techniques
- grounding in your body and chakras, and mainly your voice box;
- better identification of musical pitches via ear training
- breath control (which eventually leads to a wider vocal range)
- expressive means to communicate through your singing or spoken voice

I use hybrid techniques borrowing breath control and root note awareness techniques from Kriya yoga; intonation from Western pitch systems, and grounded breathing & performance styles that borrow from Indian raaga music. My singing and vocal techniques, as a professional artist, have been influenced by an eclectic blend of Pop, Blues Rock, Folk, World, and Jazz.

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.

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.

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
