My name is May and I'm a singer/songwriter/producer.
I have 18 years of vocal technique experience working with some International vocal coaches such as Nick Cooper (Beyonce, Sam Smith, Nicki Minaj).
As a singer, I've been releasing music for the past 9 years, I started my career in musicals but soon realized that my true interest resided in a solo career as a Pop/Alternative artist.
I've been teaching family and friends since my young age so went on to teaching anyone.
I've worked with people who damaged my vocal cords as a child and so have learned the risks and am very careful and gentle in that matter especially with younger aspiring singers.

I teach the importance of breathing correctly, using your voice in a healthy way, warming up the voice to avoid any damage and techniques on singing songs in a more interesting way. We sing a specific song thing by the student at the beginning and at the end to compare the progress made during the lesson.
Length of lessons: 1h or 1h30
Age: from children to adults
Experience: 18 years experience in vocal technique

The main aim of these lessons is to help singers from a wide range of prior experience and ability to further their passion for singing.

I am a recent MA Musical Theatre graduate from the Royal Academy of Music and have a wealth of performance experience in the genre. I am also classically trained and have achieved distinctions in classical voice grades as well as a BA (hons) Music degree from the University of Oxford where I achieved the cohort's highest grade for my performance recital in 2022. I have experience performing in operatic productions, another genre which keen students can gain tuition.

Making Music is one of the most rewarding activities, from making up your own tune to singing your favorite pop song. I would love to share how music can have a positive effect on your day-to-day life no matter your age.

My Name is Kristian, and I am a Cellist and Singer (Tenor). I have played and sung professionally for a few years now, at the age of 22. I have experience playing in orchestras and singing in operas and concerts.

In our Theory classes, I will be able to assist anyone with problems regarding theory exams. Theory can be challenging but worth it once understood!

Singing classes will be tailored to make sure you feel confident and comfortable singing! We can cover all genres and I will share my experience in how to warm up appropriately in order to be on top form.

-Acting coaching, audition prep, drama school audition, and self-tapes.-

My method comes from my own professional experience working in London theatres. I believe heavily in preparation. Doing the work! Then letting go and being free on stage opening yourself to act spontaneously.

I direct and teach with the National Youth Theatre of GB and other theatre companies across London.

In my three years of coaching my students have gained places at RADA, LAMDA, Drama Studio London, East 15 and NYT. I can help with the interview stage and with selecting material.

Once we have that we will slowly dissect the piece and the world of the play to truly understand the character's wants/needs/obstacles/actions.

Also, I will....
- Give you confidence in your speech and in yourself for your upcoming auditions.

- Help you find your most natural performance.

- Explore and find exciting and different ways to perform the text. Settling on what works best for you.

- Also having FUN, because that's what acting is about right?!

P.s I work with actors who have dyslexia. I too am dyslexic. I can adjust my teaching to what suits you and how you learn. Just let me know! As well as any other learning difficulty's :)

I am also a specialist in screen acting training being the head of acting for the Young Film Academy, working with children aged 10-17, so if this is your desired focus then get in touch.

My approach is a mix of traditional Stanislavski as well as physio-physical actor training, I aim to work within the needs of the student and understand their personal methodology and style. I have a special interest in working with neurodiverse actors and finding unique ways of approaching training for a variety of needs.

My lessons are primarily for adults. You can be needing a coach for an audition or a full production, maybe you want to find that spark again by trying a different method, or you might want to try acting out, great! I can adjust to whatever you need. My lessons are at least an hour or more. I have a vocal/light physical warm-up that I like to do at the beginning of subsequent lessons. I remember one of my first teachers saying "An actor should be a blank canvas." And this made sense at first. So I went up on our small stage to do a monologue and it was terrible. My teacher said, "Kamil, you didn't really do anything." "Well, yeah? I am a blank canvas" As a neurodiverse person, I am overanalytical, literal, incredibly anxious and have difficulty speaking with full confidence.

However, my Master's level education from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has given me a toolkit where I can work towards placing my self-doubt and uncertainty behind 'The Work.' The Work is the hours you've spent in the text, the pencil markings in the script, the crinkled pages from taking it in and out of your backpack. It's the objective truth that you can rely on when your self-awareness doesn't want you to be the character, when you can feel an audience member looking at you, when the person behind the camera laughs at something you didn't inherently think was funny. It's your character's lifesaver.

For those that may require more structure when they receive text, I can help you deconstruct that overwhelming building into its key components. Whether it's from a play you've been newly cast in, a voiceover script you can't wrap your head around, or just a simple self-tape, we can work to break down text that lets BE that blank canvas on the day, but you know what paints you've used, what strokes you can utilise, you know the feel of the paintbrush from all the canvases you've practised on. Also, it's a good way to memorise lines. And that's just a nice bonus.
