Acting auditions and drama school auditions offer some of the most challenging experiences for any actor, no matter how experienced. Actors are subjected to a process that is imperfect at the best of times and downright cruel at the worst. Nevertheless, they are a staple of the performing arts industry and they are not going away any time soon. So we better learn to turn them to our favour.
Got an important audition coming up that you want to make sure you knock out of the park? Worried about how to pick a good monologue? Have no idea where to start even if you have? Does Shakespeare scare the daylights out of you? Are you simply confused about the seemingly arbitrary nature of the audition instructions?!
Fear not, I can help. Auditions by their very nature are uncomfortable, but they needn't be excruciating. By working together you will be able to develop lifelong skills that extend beyond this audition itself and into the entire audition process itself, whether it's for drama school auditions, film and TV auditions or stage and theatre auditions.

No matter how many times one steps forward to speak in front of others, a rush of energy will always flood our bodies beforehand. What we learn from mindfulness is that this isn’t just to be expected, but to be embraced. This felt energy, which is simply an expression of our internal biology, is a gift that we can learn to harness to our own advantage. By learning to develop tolerance and calm alongside the energy without trying to suppress or get rid of it, we cultivate that elusive state of presence.
We’re often told by well-meaning others to simply be ourselves, but how do we actually do that? Especially when we are so afraid that who we are is not enough. What makes matters worse is that all of the conventional wisdom we’ve learned around nerves and presence tend to be at best ineffective and at worst directly counter-productive. We’re essentially told to ignore our feelings and repress them, to numb them so that they won’t get in the way.
By learning to occupy, accept and even welcome our own experience wholeheartedly, we unlock our hidden potential for creativity, authenticity, presence, confidence and courage. As Brene Brown says “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”

Are you curious about mindfulness but aren't sure where to start? Maybe you tried meditation but didn't really get it? Or perhaps you already meditate but are looking for fresh guidance and direction?
Despite what some may think, mindfulness isn't for a select few, it's for everyone! If you think it's not for you, chances are you've just not been explained it properly in a way that makes sense for your mind. Mindfulness training utilises the inherent skills and capacities you already have and enhances them with engaged and enjoyable practice.

Testimonials
“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.”
"What has struck me most about my time with Daniel is his willingness to help actors through the often perilous and frightening terrain of performance, without judgment, aided by a skill set as comprehensive and accessible as anything I could have hoped to come across. Daniel’s approach is clear, concise and very powerful. After every session I feel like I’ve gained some new insight into myself as a performer, or have been able to grasp some previously unknown depths of a text. A tremendously encouraging and trustworthy acting coach who will do amazing things for anybody that trains with him."
