A compassionate, no-bullshit approach to acting

“Daniel is a life saver! Not only is he super smart and insightful, he also helped me find a new way of working. I always felt way more confident and prepared after coaching with him and he made the process fun! He’d often make discoveries in the text I would never have thought of which opened up new possibilities for me and made everything richer. If I ever felt confused by a scene, I knew I could count on him to shed new light on it and help me figure it out. I’m stronger for having worked with him and grateful for his guidance.”
"Daniel has helped me immeasurably in our one on one sessions. I felt in a safe environment where I was able to express myself fully and tackle the hurdles that I felt were holding me back. His approach to acting helped me to reconnect with myself and in turn, connect fully to the work. I felt able to be more emotionally available than I was previously when working on a scene. I would definitely recommend for any actor who is wanting to connect more and to work from a deeper place."

I’ve been to Dan’s classes before and this is my second lot of film scene study classes. Learning more about myself as an Actor and being pushed outside my comfort zone. Will be looking forward to doing more classes with Dan in the future.

Dan’s classes are professional yet unpretentious. In each session I felt challenged and confident that the environment was a safe and supportive place. Scene study was a great opportunity to collaborate with a scene partner. I also valued the practise of receiving direction and applying it to my work effectively with Dan’s clear and encouraging guidance. I would recommend Mindful Acting to any newcomer or performer looking to refine their skills and I look forward to attending again myself in the future.

As a complete beginner with no previous education in acting I found these classes very comfortable and I was quickly able to let myself go and use Dans techniques to help me further my skills and passion for acting!
Thanks Dan!

Would highly recommend Mindful Acting to anyone. Daniel makes things simple and gives you time to work and observe to really take in and think about your practice.

Up to now I have had 3 one to one sessions with Dan and they have been amazing. I have always had a love for acting but at 62 I felt I had really missed the boat. Dan's sympathetic and encouraging training is building my confidence in so many ways. I am learning to memorise scripts and to delve into the characters and am even learning alot about myself. Dan is an expert in bringing the best out of people and he has filled me with a new found confidence in my acting ability. One of the best decisions I've made in a long time is to join Mindful Acting classes.

Having recently completed Dan’s 4-week Film Scene Study course, I have absolutely no hesitation in offering a heartfelt recommendation to actors of all levels of experience. I signed up keen to sharpen my technique following the pandemic, and to reflect on my preparation and approach to acting for the camera. Within a lovely group of just 6, Dan created a warm, safe room in which to challenge me individually, and tailored his tutoring for each participant based on their specific needs and goals. I finished the course with renewed confidence in and clarity around my craft, thanks to Dan’s approach and great expertise. A wonderful four weeks!

Diving in to this sort of stuff can be incredibly daunting, and Dan makes it relaxing and fun. Absolutely learning loads in a patient and welcoming environment. Can't wait to continue!

Dan is an intuitive and insightful teacher. He makes sure to get the absolute best from you and doesn't let you off the hook in the most caring and supportive way. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, Dan will guide your acting to what is authentic and unique to you. Can't recommend him enough. Good teachers are rare. Inspirational ones are rarer. Dan is both.
