Auditions & Self-Tapes · One to one · Zoom or in person

Audition tomorrow? Tape due Thursday? Let’s get to work.

Whatever’s landed, I can help.

Send me the sides and I’ll have analysed them before we start — every character in every piece, their entire journeys — so I can create the most powerful and effective objectives for you to play. We go straight into the work.

Start here

Have we worked together before?

No — new to me? Your first session is two hours. £100.

Heavily discounted so you can be introduced to the technique independently of your material. Then we work on your material. Hour one is the fundamentals — the core concepts and the exercises you’ll actually use. Hour two puts them straight onto your piece.

Your experience determines how quickly we move — it may take more than two hours, and extra time is charged at the standard £75 an hour.

Yes — in class, the Intro, or an Intensive? Straight to the hourly. £75.

Booked before today it’s £75, whatever day it is. Same-day it’s £105.

What happens in the session

Bring what you’re working on.

Just like in class — I’ll want to see your version first. Then we cover: bottom-lining your objectives; getting you totally connected to who it is you need it from — substitution; every one of your inner objects and inner work, incredibly specific — greatness is in the details; then your inner monologue.

Unlike in class, all the attention is on you. If you’re giving birth, dealing with a gunshot wound, drunk, high, facing violence or loss — anything heightened and difficult, we go over and embed so you can really go there. In a fun and healthy way, no matter the time limit.

I can read in, tape you, tape with you, and direct while you film. And when you’ve recorded it, send me the tape — I’ll come back with notes from a directorial angle before you submit.

Straight answers

How quickly can you see me?

I’ll endeavour to help anyone. Book before today and it’s £75. Same-day is £105, with four hours’ notice. I do need a little time with the text first, because that’s what makes the session worth the money.

If you can’t see a time on the calendar that works for you, just email me with a few times that do and where possible I’ll match one. I coach through the weekend.

What do you need from me?

Everything: the breakdown, the sides or full script, and any notes from your agent, the casting director or the director. You’ll upload them when you book.

Can you tape me?

Yes. I read in, tape with you, and direct while you film — same hourly rate.

Can we do it in person?

Ask. In-person sessions are by enquiry.

How do you handle heavy material?

That’s a large part of what I do. We find what’s at stake, make it personal, and set you up so you can let go safely and play — and put it down afterwards.

How long do sessions usually take?

Most take the time we’ve booked. If you want to keep going we can — extra time is at the session’s hourly rate and settled at the end.

Want the process, not just this tape?

The Studio Class is where you stop needing them.

Send me the sides. I’ll have analysed them before we start.
