About James

I coach actors and singers in both acting and vocal technique, specialising in the integration of the two through Acting Through Song. I’m a Musical Theatre lecturer at Performers College and visiting lecturer at LIPA, trained at the Royal Academy of Music (MA Musical Theatre) and LIPA (BA Hons Acting). I’m also a working actor, singer, and director with over a decade of professional experience. I know the demands of this industry from both sides of the audition panel, and I understand the balance between technical skill, creative freedom, and performance confidence. My students come to me because they want more than just “singing lessons” or “acting coaching” — they want both, fully integrated, taught by someone who lives and works in both worlds. I’ll meet you where you are, then challenge and support you to go further. Whether you’re preparing for a high-stakes audition, aiming to expand your range, or building confidence for the first time, I’ll help you reach your goals with clarity, creativity, and the tools to perform at your best when it matters most.

English

I teach both acting and singing, and I specialise in bringing the two together through Acting Through Song — connecting your voice and acting into one, seamless performance. My training as both an actor and a musical theatre performer means I can help you develop each skill individually or integrate them for auditions, roles, and performances that have both technical strength and emotional truth. My approach blends functional voice training (Somatic Voicework, Accent Method, Estill-informed tools) with acting processes from Stanislavski, Meisner, Uta Hagen, Laban, and Viewpoints. We’ll focus on healthy, versatile technique and moment-to-moment storytelling — because the most compelling moments happen when voice and truth work together. Lessons are typically 60 minutes and tailored to you. That might mean developing a sustainable mix/belt, unpacking the thought journey of a song or monologue, sharpening audition material, or preparing for drama school entrance and LAMDA exams. I bring energy, humour, and curiosity into every session — but I’ll also push you to achieve more than you thought you could. The results you want come from commitment, an open mind, and a willingness to step beyond what feels comfortable. That’s where the breakthroughs happen. I’ll guide you there with challenge and encouragement in equal measure, creating a space where you feel supported to take risks, explore boldly, and grow into a performer who can walk into any room with confidence. Who do I work with? - Drama school applicants who want insider insight into what panels are really looking for - Students in training pushing their vocal, acting, and integration skills further - Working performers refining repertoire or preparing for roles/auditions - Committed beginners building strong foundations in both voice and acting Every session is practical, focused, and designed so you leave with tools you can apply straight away — ensuring your voice, acting, and storytelling work in perfect synergy.
