About Richard
I graduated from Rose Bruford in 2004, but began my professional acting career when I was 14. Since graduating I have developed my acting, directing and tutoring careers alongside each other & I have been teaching & directing in Drama Schools such as Italia Conti (BA Acting), LAMDA, Drama Centre, Drama Studio London & Fourth Monkey for nearly 20 years and have a strong grasp on what the schools are looking for from audition applicants. I have helped many young actors gain entrance to Drama Schools including RADA, LAMDA & Royal Welsh amongst others. I can tailor my classes around your needs and requirements whether that involves Drama School application, LAMDA exams or professional audition preparation. As an actor I have worked extensively in theatre and TV and use this experience to keep my teaching methods up to date.
About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
For those requested to audition via Skype or self-tape, we can arrange Zoom or Skype calls ourselves to rehearse safely. I believe that working in a relaxed environment with detail, creativity and clarity allows actors to produce their best work. I strive to always be positive, honest and constructive as the work develops, making sure you have total ownership over your work and that you are well prepared for auditions, both for the speeches and interview skills. The lessons will take place online, in a studio space in Clapham North or at my home in New Cross Gate. Classes are available in 1, 1.5 & 2 hour sessions - I can cater to your needs and we can decide how much time we think we need at various stages of the process.

Perfect! Richard is an excellent drama teacher! He has a huge imagination and is a lot of fun. In his classes, you learn a lot and you also have fun because he's a very friendly person. He's also very supportive, and he's motivated me a lot. I've only had one lesson with him, and in just one lesson he helped me discover my potential in both stage performance and improvisation. In class, I discovered myself and really improved. He's very talented and that makes it easy to learn from him. I've done various drama courses and Richard's strong point is that he does everything to help you awaken your potential and he doesn't hesitate to increase the length of the course if necessary. Thanks to him, and the various courses I took, I was accepted at the Identity School of Acting.
Thank you for your support Richard.
I definitely recommend him!- Alexis had one session with me to prepare for a drama school audition. He was open, intelligent, generous and intelligent - his worked improved impressively because of this. He has since told me he was accepted into the course he auditioned for. Congrats Alexis!!Richard's response :
Perfect! Could not recommend Richard enough! I've had a few lessons with different tutors off this app but Richard went above and beyond with support and advice. I worked on monologues for drama school auditions and the work we did really elevated them and helped me see them in new lights! HIGHLY recommend!
Perfect! Richard is a great actor and a brilliant coach!! Even though I'm in New York and Richard’s in London, we are able to schedule a time to work together! I love working with him! He's very patient and knowledgeable. I actually booked my first role in a short film while working with Richard. And I felt very confident in my acting because of what he taught me and the director even complimented my work on set! I always leave our lessons feeling like I learned something of value. Whether I'm working on tv/film or theatre Richard is always able to provide great tips and advice!
Perfect! Richard has a great imagination along with being very minutious. After discussing the work together, there was always time for an individual reflection, the sessions were very well paced which made made them very enjoyable. I found that each session with Richard was very creative and engaging. You’ll come out very energised.
Perfect! Richard was very helpful, knowledgable and approachable. I have gained a lot from our sessions and would recommend Richard to anyone who is looking to further their acting skills or improve monologues for auditions.
Perfect! I am a writer/director and worked with Richard to better understand the acting process and, in turn, improve how I communicate with actors in rehearsal and on set. In a short space of time, Richard's incredibly personable, approachable method of teaching has helped me to better understand myself and what I need to do to get the most of out of an actor, as well as the fundamentals of acting technique. Richard is very easy to work with; each session is packed with insight, and his approach ensures you are completely relaxed from the very beginning. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and have come away a better director, actor and industry professional. I would absolutely work with Richard again; I can't recommend him enough! Thank you for everything, Richard!
Perfect! Richard has taught me in various capacities over the last two years. His professionalism and passion for what he does is second to none. His warm approach sets a non-judgemental tone that gives the work a creative space to develop. What's more, Richard takes an interest in really getting to know his students. Personally, he has helped me to see what it is that sets me apart from the crowd and encouraged me to hone in on that individuality. Working with Richard has been a joy and an inspiration and I would highly recommend him.

Richard's careful, detailed and tailored approach to the work is both nurturing and inspiring. He engenders in his actors a sense of ownership and confidence that is dearly needed in actor training.
George Ryan, UK Voice and Text coachI have known Richard for several years as a colleague at Italia Conti School of Acting. As an actor himself, Richard has the ideal combination of experience and empathy which makes him a superb coach. He is thorough, detailed, straightforward and kind. I can heartily recommend him as a tutor.
Richard has worked for me at Drama Centre London on a number of occasions and has been an excellent tutor. He brings his professional acting experience to his teaching which helps the students develop their skills. He is passionate about his subject and is always adapting how he teaches to suit the student or group. He has a broad knowledge of theatre and encourages students to find a fresh perspective of classical work.
Richard is a professional actor for the stage and screen and has over 10 years of teaching experience. He has worked for such Companies as Propeller and has appeared on screen in 'The Same Sky' and has a recurring role in 'The Spanish Princess. He has taught acting technique and has directed many productions both classical and modern in well respected conservatoire training institutions, including The Sam Wanamaker Festival for the past 5 years at Shakespeare's Globe. This wealth of experience makes Richard a highly skilled master teacher of acting with many teaching techniques and strategies to help his students. Having been a colleague of Richard's for the past 10 years I can say that he is insightful, imaginative and clear in his teaching process and is never afraid to think outside the box but there is never any cruelty in his manner, he teaches with complete kindness and empathy for the actors process. If I were to go back into acting I would go to Richard for a class at the drop of a hat!
I recruited Richard a number of years ago to teach at a drama school I was working at. Richard taught contemporary scene study. He is a wonderful teacher and acting coach - well-prepared, clear, patient and creative. I would recommend Richard to anyone seeking to work with a talented acting professional who has extensive teaching experience.
Richard was my tutor/director on various projects at Italia Conti Drama School on the BA Acting course, including scene studies and acting exercises.
His observations and attention to detail really helped me to hone my own personal acting technique and his ability to ask the right questions encouraged me to keep making new discoveries with each character.
His enthusiasm and passion for each project made the process even more enjoyable and exciting.
A wonderful mentor!Richard taught me and directed me while I was at drama school. I highly recommend him because he’s very thorough and detailed and never misses a single beat. He really knows what he is talking about in regards to both stage and screen. He’s also really lovely and easy to talk to which is always a plus!
