If the support required is of an academic nature then simply bring the text you’d like guidance on and throw any and all questions my way! I tend to use annotation method more common in the United States as that’s where I’m from, but the bulk of my practical acting training took place here in Wales so I do tend to combine the two. Personally however, I believe in trying any and all methods, even unorthodox ones, until the student feels they are able to grasp what they need to.

In terms of practical/performance guidance, I tend to lean into a mix between conceptual and physical processes as my training consisted of both. Character work, background research, and figuring out how your character thinks is absolutely important, but even more so is the ability to show it. I’ve been taught a plethora of relaxation techniques, physical acting exercises, vocal exercises, etc. that aim to encourage performers to make choices bold enough for the audience to pick up on.
I am not a professor, trained teacher, therapist, or childcare expert. I am simply a performer with more than twenty years of stage experience who has finished formal training recently enough to be able to (and willing to) pass on what I’ve learned. I share what works for me, methods I think may work for you, and advice for overcoming the anxieties so many of us theatre people face.


My interests, coinciding or not, include the horror genre, gothic literature, queer stories, bygone eras, alternative fashion, photography, and how cool the ocean is.
