Acting Coaching: I work with Actors on a One to One Coaching, both In-Person and via Zoom, on the following: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.

Behind the Scenes of You: Acting for Self-DiscoveryEver wonder what’s going on behind the scenes of you? This class uses the tools of acting — voice, movement, presence, and play — to help you explore who you are, how you show up, and how you connect with others.
Designed for amateurs and the curious-at-heart, this isn’t about performing for an audience — it’s about discovering new sides of yourself in a safe, creative space.
Through guided improvisations, character work, and reflection, you’ll build self-awareness, confidence, and communication skills that show up in real life — from relationships to leadership to simply feeling more grounded in who you are.
No experience needed. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Musical Theatre/Pop - Acting Through Song Lessons with a professional 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.

Acting Lessons for Experienced and New Actors from a Bristol Old Vic Theatre School GraduateMy 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.

Coaching in Voice Acting for Games, Audio Drama, Commercials, Corporate NarrationVoice acting, particularly for video games, is a highly sought after career, and requires dedication and luck as well as talent. If you are interested in working in this area of performance, I can provide guidance, coaching and a wealth of industry knowledge to help you up your game.
We can work on:
- acting for audio technique
- audition technique and what to look for in a casting breakdown

Or feel free to message me with what you'd like to work on and we can discuss whether I'm the right fit for you as a tutor!
As a director, I have worked across stage, and short films, but my main area of work is audio - including audio dramas but particularly video games. My approach is collaborative and actor-led, finding truthful performance with a strong technical base. Also an actor and stage combatant, I bring a wide range of experiences as a performer to support directing and teaching. I have previously taught Acting for Video Games short courses.
