​I work exclusively with mainstream-experienced professional actors and singers over 22 years in the Australian and international acting industry.

For clarity: mainstream-experienced refers to actors in substantial speaking roles (eg. lead, supporting lead or key featured roles) in commercial, public screen/stage projects.

Private coaching is mainly granted to approved applicants who align with the following descriptions:

• High-profile or well-established professional actors: You have a vast acting history or solid body of work in lead or supporting lead roles in mainstream screen or stage productions or for leading independent theatre companies, such as Sport for Jove.

• Graduates of distinguished acting institutions: You hold a full-time degree in Acting or Musical Theatre from a renowned acting institution eg. NIDA, WAAPA, VCA, RADA, Juilliard or equivalent.​

• Exceptional emerging actors (22 years+): You're already making a mainstream industry impact in lead or supporting lead speaking roles for high-calibre productions and directors. Equivalent to the current rising stars of commercial feature film, Netflix, plays or musicals. You may only have a few major credits, but they're in shows often nominated for industry awards.

• Professional singers or voice-over artists: You're a leading artist with a commercial body of work across high-level stage, screen, concert or recording projects.

• Returning clients or industry-endorsed professionals: You may have previously trained with me – either in a production or industry course – or you're being personally mentored and recommended to me first by a highly regarded professional actor or acting coach who I know directly.

​Beyond established industry experience: I look for actors who embody maturity, artistic excellence, professionalism and integrity. My private clients show a deep commitment to training, practice, creative growth, openness to transformation and a respectful collaborative spirit.

👉IF YOU DON’T MATCH THE ABOVE GROUPS:

Application to be privately trained by me from applicants outside the above groups is selective, by audition and via industry endorsement.

• Applicants must be mature actors aged 25+ with a reputable industry agent, clear evidence of paid industry credits in featured speaking roles, and a public Showcast profile with a recent showreel. You must also be currently mentored or regularly trained by a highly-regarded industry professional who can personally recommend you to me.

• For consideration, applicants must provide a public link to your Showcast for me to review your showreel, detail your professional training and experience to date, and provide the name of your professional mentor/coach. If they are not directly known to me, they will need to email me to recommend you for private coaching. When consideration is approved, the process begins with a single, paid coaching session which acts as a "casting" to assess initial results, professionalism and rapport. Private coaching beyond that is not guaranteed.​

📌 Important Note: Applications without industry endorsement, an acting showreel or requiring a login (eg. private Showcast URL) will not be considered.

Due to the exclusive nature of this service, I'm unable to assist or respond to all enquiries. If you meet the above criteria, I look forward to hearing from you and your industry mentor/coach as a starting point.

Some performers and needs fall outside my exclusive private coaching services. To ensure clarity for all enquiries, I’m unavailable for private coaching in the following cases:

• Actors under 22 years: My services cater for a specific calibre of industry professionals over 22 years, as outlined in FAQ #1. I don't offer private coaching to those under 22, including professional child or teen actors. This age group is only coached when they're in the cast of a production where I’m engaged as the company coach.

• Early Career Stage or Informal Experience: I don't offer coaching to actors over 22 years whose primary experience is in early-stage, informal projects or unpaid acting work, such as self-funded short films, acting class scenes, extras work, reality TV or social media/YouTube content. My services are reserved for working professionals with paid, mainstream screen or stage credits in speaking roles. Agent representation alone doesn't meet the threshold, nor does online visibility or audience size. My coaching is designed for actors who are already operating at a specific professional industry level.

• Native Accent Reduction: If your goal is reducing your native accent or developing a new one for your everyday voice, this is a distinct field of speech work that I don't specialise in or offer. A search of "accent reduction" or "accent modification" will guide you to speech pathologists, ESL teachers or voice coaches who are experts in that specific area.​

If your needs fall into any of the above categories, I encourage you to explore alternative coaches or training avenues, such as NIDA Open Program, ATYP, The Hub Studio (Sydney) or a Google search for actor training in your area.

I'm based in Sydney, Australia and work with local and international actors.

Private coaching sessions are held on Zoom. I also offer high-profile and ongoing clients coaching via FaceTime or phone when needed, such as when on set, in the theatre or at a recording studio. In-person coaching is solely offered to professional productions where I'm engaged as the company coach.

Sessions are tailored to my client's unique needs, such as preparing a casting or callback, a booked screen or stage role, or elevating their professional industry skills training. Newer actors may solely be offered skills training sessions as a first step to assess performance level and coaching eligibility.

​My areas of expertise include:

• Dialects, voice, acting, storytelling, script work, character analysis, human behaviour & psychology, emotional range for acting, physical & vocal characterisation, elevating showreels, voice-overs (demo reels, commercials & narration), animation voices, audiobooks, Shakespeare, handling period/epic texts, performance psychology, holistic tools for actors, professional career strategy and more

• See Acting Industry page for full details on my expertise and a list of dialects/languages coached

Unsure if you qualify for coaching? If you haven't had a chance yet, head to FAQ #1 “Who do you accept for private coaching?” and FAQ #2 "Who are you unavailable to coach privately?".
​

Great – if you’ve read the client eligibility FAQs and believe you match the criteria, here’s how to apply.

Use the Contact Form below and include the following in your message:

• Professional Credits: Share where you're based (city/country) and outline your industry experience – including key speaking-role credits and/or formal acting training. This helps me assess whether you’re operating at the professional level I coach.

• Coaching Needs & Timelines: Briefly describe what you’re seeking coaching for and whether any dates or deadlines apply.

• Industry Profile Link: Provide a publicly accessible link to your Showcast profile or agent's listing for you, clearly showcasing your professional acting experience. Highly-established actors with vast screen credits may add their public IMDB profile link. If you're a less-established actor: your link must include a current, professional acting showreel so I can assess your performance level and coaching eligibility. Links requiring a login not accepted (eg. private Showcast or IMDBPro).​

​No need to list an extensive CV or every training course. Just ensure your link, showreel and message clearly reflect your level of experience, agent representation and alignment with the client criteria above.
