About James
I’m a professional vocalist, director and coach, with a particular focus on acting through song, musical theatre performance, and drama school audition preparation. I hold a Diploma in Voice for Music Theatre Performance from the London College of Music and have a First Class Honours degree in Theatre.
I continue to work professionally across performance and direction, and bring that practical insight into every session I lead. My recent credits include directing NewsRevue in the West End — the world’s longest-running live comedy show — and performing with the London Musical Theatre Chorus (Love Never Dies in Concert, Theatre Royal Drury Lane).

My coaching is tailored for actor-singers, musical theatre performers, and those preparing for auditions, performances, or drama school entrance. I focus on helping you connect truthfully to material, shape bold and grounded performances, and sing with clarity, technique, and intention.
Sessions may explore repertoire selection, interpretation, vocal phrasing, monologue/song pairing, movement in performance, and audition readiness — always shaped around your individual goals and experience level. This is not one-size-fits-all coaching — we’ll work to uncover what approaches bring out your best work.
I regularly work with clients applying for foundation, undergraduate and MA-level training, as well as those preparing for performance exams such as LAMDA. Sessions are available as one-offs or as part of a regular coaching process, and typically run for 1hr, 90mins or 2hrs — online, at your home, or in-studio.
Students I’ve coached have gone on to train at schools including Mountview, Oxford School of Drama, Urdang, Performance Preparation Academy, and Drama Centre London.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
James is a fantastic coach. He really found an approach that worked for me and my learning needs; working with me to prepare material for performance and public speaking engagements. I found him reassuring, knowledgeable and engaging during our sessions. Couldn’t recommend him enough.
I came across James when I was in the processing of applying to drama school to study a Masters. James is an excellent coach as he aims to work with you and help you reach your best potential through figuring out what you are comfortable with whilst also pushing you to go out of your comfort zone and try new things which helped me massively. He has great knowledge surrounding audition technique, play writes and he also goes above and beyond to help you succeed. I would definitely recommend James to anyone looking for an acting coach.
I think James demonstrates the perfect balance between tutor and creative. As a working director/performer himself, he brings a real sense of experiment and willingness to support you to try new things and as a tutor guides you to hit the required objectives. I worked with James towards my A Level performing arts assessment.
I have worked with James for several years and his support has been invaluable. He is a patient communicator and excellent tutor- without his help I would certainly not have achieved my academic or creative potential. Can't recommend enough.
I've loved working with James - he ensures that each session is personalised, fun and insightful, and he really knows how to build on your strengths whilst getting you to take risks. Would 100% recommend.
