Coaching
People I’ve Coached
I’ve taught actors at Redroofs Theatre School and worked with performers on their confidence, technique and preparation. Here are a few of the people I’ve taught, along with their stories.
How I think about coaching
I help performers understand a scene, make clear choices and feel more confident in their work.
A few examples
From Redroofs to screen roles
I taught Jess at Redroofs in the lead-up to her television debut in Spirit Warriors. She went on to play Nymeria Sand in Game of Thrones, Jessika Pava in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Colleen Wing across Marvel’s Iron Fist, The Defenders and Luke Cage.
Performance, confidence and presence
Alisha went on to travel internationally as a performer and figure skater, including work as Tinkerbell in Disney on Ice. She wrote to me years later about how the acting classes had stayed with her.
Andy was extremely patient, and helped describe acting methods in ways other tutors could not, in order for me to really apply myself to characters and roles with ease.
Acting and filmmaking
I worked with James at Redroofs, including on his final-year film. He later wrote to me about how those classes had influenced his approach to performance.
Andy was without a doubt the reason that I have the attitude to performance that I have today.
The skills that Andy teaches and that he has passed on to me have stayed with me since the very first class.
James runs James Watts Media, filming and editing videos for businesses and organisations across the UK.
