Audition Coaching

I offer professional audition preparation coaching for performers preparing for auditions for drama schools, theatre productions and performing arts courses. Sessions are designed to help performers present themselves with confidence, clarity and authenticity in audition settings.


With extensive experience working in theatre, musical theatre and performing arts education, I understand the expectations of audition panels and the challenges performers often face when preparing audition material. My aim is to help each performer feel confident, prepared and ready to give their best performance.


Preparing for Drama School Auditions

Auditions for drama schools and performing arts courses can feel daunting. Careful preparation can make a significant difference to a performer’s confidence and ability to communicate their work effectively.


Audition preparation sessions can help with:

  • Choosing suitable monologues or audition pieces
  • Understanding and interpreting the text
  • Developing strong character choices
  • Improving vocal clarity and projection
  • Building confidence in performance
  • Structuring and refining audition pieces
  • Preparing for potential workshop or recall auditions


Sessions focus on helping performers present their work clearly, truthfully and confidently, while ensuring their chosen material shows their strengths.


Auditions for Theatre Productions

I also support performers preparing for auditions for theatre productions, including plays and musical theatre shows.


Sessions can help performers:

  • Prepare audition pieces or monologues
  • Strengthen acting choices and character interpretation
  • Improve vocal delivery and stage presence
  • Develop confidence in cold reading situations
  • Approach auditions with a clear strategy and mindset


The aim is to help performers feel prepared, confident and relaxed so they can present their best work.


What We Work On

Audition preparation sessions may include:

  • Selecting and refining audition material
  • Understanding the dramatic context of the piece
  • Exploring character objectives and intentions
  • Improving vocal delivery and clarity
  • Strengthening physical presence and performance focus
  • Developing confidence performing in front of others


Each session is tailored to the performer’s experience, goals and the specific audition they are preparing for.


Who This Is For

Audition preparation may be particularly helpful for:

  • Students applying for drama schools or performing arts courses
  • Young performers preparing for youth theatre or school productions
  • Actors preparing for community or amateur theatre auditions
  • Performers who want additional guidance before an important audition


Sessions are suitable for teenagers, young adults and adult performers.


Lesson Length and Fees

Sessions are available as:

  • 45 minutes – £35
  • 60 minutes – £45


Many performers benefit from a small number of focused sessions in the weeks leading up to their audition.


Getting Started

If you have an upcoming audition and would like help preparing your material, please feel free to get in touch.

I am always happy to discuss your audition requirements, the material you are considering, and how preparation sessions could help you feel more confident and ready for the audition process.
