Professional Actor, Theatre Director and Drama School Tutor. Extensive TV and Theatre experience available for Drama School Entrance. Based in NEW CROSS GATE - Skype/Zoom rehearsals available

Deadly! I had to prepare a monologue for an audition and didn't have much time to find the right acting coach. I came across Richard on this platform, and his excellent reviews, along with his reassuring presence, convinced me to get in touch.

We had our first session on Zoom, and I later switched to face to face sessions, which I personally preferred. Richard encourages you to really dig into the text, explore the deeper meaning behind every word, and discover what drives the character you're playing. He also provides practical insights and techniques that help you develop a much richer understanding of the role.

Working with Richard has given me greater confidence in my preparation, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, insightful, and supportive acting coach.

Deadly! 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!

Deadly! 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!

Deadly! 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!

Deadly! 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.

Deadly! 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.

Deadly! 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!

Deadly! 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.
