My journey so far…
I have been immersed in the performing arts for over 20 years. After 17 years of dance and musical theatre experience, I fell in love with acting for stage and screen, and graduated from ArtsEd BA Acting degree in 2020. As an actor, my first professional steps into the industry have included: work with ITV, commercials, theatre roles, new writing, and a lead in an award winning short film. As a young acting coach, I bring a fresh perspective and understanding of the current industry landscape. My client coach relationship is collaborative and flexible to best suit the individual. I love working with emerging actors who are passionate about the world of acting, and eager to develop their craft. Together we learn what challenges and obstacles are getting in the way, and we eradicate doubt and hesitation in the work to help make their aspirations possible.
This industry is demanding, and undoubtably unpredictable. With this uncertainty, it is fundamental to take control of your work, and be ready for whatever opportunities come your way. My coaching offers a safe space to practice the wide range of up to date techniques and approaches I offer, to help get you prepared for whatever exciting project you have ahead of you.
Testimonial from my client, Nell Fisher (Stranger Things 5, Bookworm, Evil Dead Rise) :
“I have been so lucky to have Grace as my acting coach these past two years as I’ve taken on leading roles in Bookworm and Stranger Things.
She is just brilliant. She asks all the right questions and gives all the right prompts to help me build a character from the bottom up, and truly inhabit that character in a scene. She’s facilitative, not directive, and helps me make the right choices rather than making them for me.
We work together in person and online, and she also sends me notes and tips ahead of a particularly important scene. She has helped me prepare for auditions too and is a great reader for a self-tape. Grace has helped me take my acting to the next level. I can’t recommend her highly enough as an acting coach!” - Nell Fisher
