Information About Phoebe - Tooting teacher

Personal Description:

I have a First Class Honours degree in Acting from the highly prestigious Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. In training, I was the recipient of the Sir John Gielgud Award, and represented the school at the Sam Wanamaker Festival at Shakespeare's Globe.

I have worked as an actor at the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, Manchester's Royal Exchange, the Bolton Octagon, Greenwich Theatre, New Diorama, Oldham Coliseum and many more theatres across the country.

Teaching Experience:

I have been giving lessons for 5 years, teaching dozens of people of all ages. Previous students have gained places at prestigious drama schools, National Youth Theatre, received distinctions in LAMDA examinations, and have earned the role they were auditioning for after our sessions together.

'We decided to look for an actor to come in and help our sales team with technique and delivery.

Phoebe showed our teams how to get into the correct mindset, how to break up their day and how to set intentions with each client. All of which was great fun to learn and extremely useful but the main reason Phoebe has blown us away is the preparation on her end, she didn't just do a generic workshop (which still would have been valuable to us) she read our structure in depth and linked the entire workshop to our specific sales approach.

We are very grateful to Phoebe for putting so much work in to this for us and it has achieved great results!' - Top Quote

'Phoebe has been a huge help to me with working on audition monologues, and I would 100% recommend her. She has helped me to interpret the text, to stage it in fresh and creative ways and to work on my delivery skills. Phoebe is very encouraging and an all-round lovely person to work with.' - Giverny

'I am currently in the process of applying for drama school - something I didn’t believe I could do. I live in Manchester but recently moved to London and Phoebe has honestly be a godsend. Not only has she assisted me technically, building my confidence and improving my natural ability but she has also provided me comfort and advice on being a working actor in London. I just hope she still has availability should I be successful with my application as I have really enjoyed our meetings and can’t wait to continue!' - Sarah

Teaching Approach:

I help to prepare monologues for auditions, look at acting technique, work on scenes, tackle Shakespeare and classical text, explore acting through song, and refine audition technique. This can be at any level, for any age. (Ideal for drama school applicants)

I work creatively, workshopping material to unlock creative potential rather than formally directing. This way the individual can make exciting discoveries and will leave with a wealth of options and choices to make on their scripts. My priority is to create a relaxed environment with no pressure, where we can work together with ease to explore the text in new ways.

Confidence building, creativity, communication, and expression are all at the centre of my practice. All of these are the key to success, and the key to being the best actor you can be.

I work with 8 to 80 year olds, all at different levels and experiences. If you'd like a one-off session or ongoing ones, get in touch to have a chat!
