About James

I have 30 years' relevant industry experience, and several years of working in higher education at accredited Drama Schools. I have an M.A in Actor Training and Coaching. I have three children and live in London with my family. I am also a singer/songwriter and have had my music played on BBC Radio 6 and Channel 4 TV.

About the lesson

My sessions typically last 1 hour. I have a number of tried and tested approaches designed to get the best out of my students. I teach Audition technique at Mountview and have run online sessions for a number of years in a variety of settings. I focus closely on the individual and their unique strengths. Offering a playful, yet technically disciplined approach to text and performance. I have run classes and workshops for the RSC, Punchdrunk, Kneehigh, Mountview, Rose Bruford, Royal Central School of Drama, Beck Youth Theatre, Arts Ed and countless others.

Had plenty of one on one sessions with James to help me with my monologues and he was a delight to work with. Very friendly gave excellent advice on how to give emotional variation in my performance. Couldn’t recommend him more!

James is a sweet and patient man who has an amazing ability to bring the best out of you as an actor. He taught me for 3 years at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, who brought a lot of ease, passion and comfortability to all his lessons. I would highly recommend him!

James was my favourite tutor at Mountview. His kind and gentle nature made me feel safe in the room, and safe to 'fail' or get things 'wrong', which massively helped me grow in confidence. Hearing about his experience in the industry was inspiring and he passed on such valuable skills that are a part of my practice today. Couldn't recommend more!
