Musical Theatre Classes - Singing, dance and acting

From 114.57 C$ /h

My name is Vanessa and I am an actress, teacher and producer currently based in London, United Kingdom.

As well as training and performing within the Theatre industry since 2011, I have also taught art disciplines such as acting, singing and dance and dance fitness from the ages of 3 upwards. Some of my performance credits include, Motown The Musical, Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hairspray and Legally Blonde to name a few.

For those that have a keen passion for entering into the Theatre industry, I am able to use my experience to offer professional training across all disciplines and help equip them with tools needed to thrive as a performer.

Similarly, for those that enjoy the arts as an extra curricular hobby/space to express themselves creatively, I take pride in holding a creative self space to help my students to unlock self confidence, self belief and their broader imagination as well as strengthening skills such as teamwork, singing, dancing and acting.

I am able to hold online classes and work to an international timezone to reach all my students and for those based in London and prefer face to face lessons, I'm able to rent studios or arrange home visits where requested.

If you have big goals within the theatre industry or if it's a hobby that you'd like to venture into or pick back up again, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Vanessa :)

ABOUT ME
With over two decades of versatile experience as a producer, actor and public speaker, I bring a wealth of industry insights and practical expertise to our coaching journey. As an actor I have starred in feature films, TV series, and commercials. My own acting accolades include awards for my performances, such as Best Actor at The Mac Film Festival for my role in the international short film "Cinnamon."

Now I've dedicated myself to nurturing the next generation of creators and actors. My teaching philosophy is grounded in a holistic approach, blending proven methodologies such as Chekov, The Method, and Meisner techniques tailored specifically for on-camera acting.

Having conducted private TV and film acting classes and served as a film acting coach for esteemed production houses, including Hollywood based Muse Productions, I've honed my ability to inspire, guide, and mentor aspiring talents.

I believe in fostering an environment that encourages experimentation, growth, and self-expression, empowering students to discover their unique voice and hone their craft with confidence. I'm committed to providing personalized guidance and mentorship every step of the way.

Let's unlock your potential together!

If you are preparing for a drama school audition or a public speaking event, if you are looking to build your confidence and expression through the development of acting skills or if you are keen to expand your creative writing skills as a playwright, I would love to help you.

I am a professional actress and movement director and I deliver one-to-one drama tuition sessions and full day workshops that are tailored to suit your individual needs. I have worked as an acting teacher and public speaking coach for all age groups (from ages 3 - 80!) for 24 years and it is a great passion and privilege of mine to assist in this way, seeing my students' evolution.

I have both a diploma and a degree in Acting (LAMDA, Associate Acting Diploma/ Rose Bruford, BA Hons Acting) and I have trained with Gecko physical theatre company. As well as performing for decades on stage and on screen, I have also run The Bedlam Bunch Children's Theatre and Entertainment since 2007, through which I have written and directed numerous stage plays as well as interactive, immersive shows for children aged 3 - 9 years. I also founded and ran Outburst Theatre from 2010 - 2019 as a platform to bring communities together in South East London via educational theatre projects. As a solo artist, I have written and produced three one-woman stage shows - "Raw Cake", "Through the Hourglass" and "The Wonky Shonky Show" - all performed in London, UK.

I look forward to working with you and being part of your journey!

The work will challenge your coordination, rhythm, attention to detail and demostrate a contemporary application of classical teachnical forms, but all through explorative and original material.

The class is structured like any other technical class, each exercise desinged to methodicaly warm up and work the body, building on the previous exercises, before culminating in a longer choreography where we can pull everything together and just have a boogie.

I can tailor the work to each student however I would reccomend having some technical expirience, classical or contemporary.

My approach empowers you to open up, feel at ease, and communicate with impact in both life and work!

My approach to coaching is highly personalised and results-driven. Every student moves, learns, and expresses themselves differently, so I never teach from a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, each session is carefully tailored to your goals, body, experience level, and confidence needs.

Original Cast of The Devil Wears Prada and Pretty Woman The Musical
Performances at the BRIT Awards

This Bollywood dance class is designed to introduce and develop Bollywood dance techniques through fun, engaging choreography. The class incorporates elements from classical, folk, and modern Bollywood styles, focusing on rhythm, expression, coordination, and musicality. Sessions are structured to be welcoming and supportive, allowing participants to learn at their own pace in a relaxed environment. The class is open to all levels and all groups, with no prior dance experience required.
The purpose of this class is to create an inclusive space where people from all backgrounds can explore Bollywood dance as a form of movement, cultural expression, and physical activity. The class aims to build confidence, encourage creativity, and promote well-being through dance, while fostering a sense of community and enjoyment. It also provides an opportunity for participants to connect with Bollywood music and storytelling in an accessible and engaging way.

I’m a professional actor working across theatre, TV, film, and commercial projects, and a current auditioning actor who knows exactly what casting panels are looking for. I bring real-world, up-to-date industry experience into every session, offering practical audition prep, self-tape coaching, and drama school support.

I have over five years’ experience teaching LAMDA across Acting, Verse & Prose, Musical Theatre, and Public Speaking. Whether you’re aiming for exams, auditions, or simply more confidence, sessions are tailored to you.

I specialise in comedy and character work and believe training should be bold, playful, and fun. I love working with people who are passionate, curious, and ready to explore — whether you’re a serious performer, prepping for drama school, or an amateur who’s always wanted to discover your creative side.

Training should feel exciting, not intimidating. Let’s do great work and enjoy it.

My lessons are designed to be dynamic, supportive, and confidence-building, creating a safe space where students can explore and enjoy singing without fear or pressure. I strongly believe that learning music should feel exciting, empowering, and personal. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone with previous experience, my goal is to help you feel comfortable using your voice and expressing yourself freely while developing healthy vocal habits.

Classes combine vocal technique, breathing exercises, interpretation, musicality, acting tools, diction, and fun performance-based activities adapted to each student’s level, musical taste, and goals. As a bilingual actor and singer with professional experience in musical theatre, live performance, television, and music projects in Mexico, the United States, and Spain, I also help students connect emotionally with songs, improve stage presence, and build confidence while performing in front of others.

My vocal background includes training in musical theatre, jazz singing, gospel music, choral singing, contemporary music, and vocal coaching. Thanks to this variety of styles and techniques, lessons can be adapted for students interested in musical theatre, pop, contemporary music, jazz, or simply discovering and improving their natural voice.

One of my biggest priorities is vocal health. Students will learn how their vocal instrument truly works, how to use it correctly, and how to sing safely without hurting themselves. Understanding your voice is just as important as developing it, and I make sure every exercise is done in a healthy and sustainable way.

I believe every voice has potential, and every student deserves encouragement, patience, and a positive environment throughout their artistic journey. As Gusteau says in Ratatouille: “Everyone can sing.”
