"As an experienced actress nothing satisfies me more than seeing
my clients discover their true talent."

What my clients say

• Working with Sharon was a fantastic experience. It is of upmost importance to have someone view, critique and develop your speeches. Not just for applications to Drama School but also with general auditions. Sharon's eye for detail is second to none which places you directly in the world of the play. It was her demand for specificity and not general washes of attitude and emotion that helped me secure a scholarship to Drama Studio London. She instantly recognises your strengths and develops them appropriately for the texts, which fills you with the confidence to actually perform your pieces rather than recite them. Sharon's energy never dips and she works as hard you during the session. She turned me from a student who enjoyed acting at university into a professional doing this for a living. Highly recommended!

  Harry Lobek, Drama Studio London

• I feel my training with Sharon was invaluable in the run up to my auditions. Beforehand I had a very limited idea of what audition panels were looking for, but also what I myself was doing. From the choice of audition piece to engaging with the language and actions of the text, Sharon really opened my eyes to the multi-layered nature of a monologue. Through various techniques and approach I was able to see and feel the text in a whole new light, which undoubtably gave me the confidence to approach my first and only round of auditions. I would highly recommend Sharon's caring and insightful tutelage to anyone considering drama school.

  Tom Maguire, Mountview, DADA Award

• Sharon is an excellent, attentive tutor. She was able to immediately put me at ease, identify the elements of my performance that could needed work and through careful and considerate work she helped me improve my performance exponentially. She is warm, patient and could not come more highly recommended.

  It felt like you were someone I could come to at any time, whether it be for advice or just for a laugh an I really appreciated that. I've just been offered an unconditional place at Drama Centre, I couldn't have done it without you so thank you.

  Robert Neumark Jones

• Sharon is fantastic, she's so easy to get on with and above all is so professional. Sharon managed to open my mind up to a whole different way of approaching auditions, scripts and characters in general. She showed me the importance of detail in characterisation and worked entirely with me to develop my own personal style. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sharon because her experience and expertise as well as her professionalism and friendliness make her training invaluable.

• Sharon's training was extremely effective and beneficial and has taught to a variety of approaches and steps that will aid me in my acting career in the future. Not only is she a good coach but she is friendly and bubbly which helped us to have a strong relationship when working with one another. Sharon is an acting coach that I have full confidence in performing a range of acting styles without feeling a sense of embarrassment which is something that is very rare to find. Sharon I see as not only a coach but as a mentor, due to the fact that she has given me guidance and aid in many situations.

• Sharon's training was both intensive and enjoyable. Her training has been extremely beneficial and i hope in due course will kick-start my acting career! Her knowledge of acting in general is very expansive. Lastly she is a acting coach who you gain a friendly relationship with which I believe as an actor is extremely beneficial as it enabled me to express myself fully.

What my clients say

• Dearest Sharon,

  You are such a star. It went very well and I can't thank you enough for all your help and encouragement.

  I wasn't aware of it at the time, but you gave me a lot of confidence. And using your speak I owned the space when I got to the lectern and it made it so much easier.

  By Roderick Hill

• I started to work with Sharon to address concerns I had about my personal presentation in high level meetings. Sharon took time to get to know me and clearly identify the challenges that I faced. She then recommended techniques to support in overcoming these challenges. As a direct result my confidence grew significantly and I was holding my own in high level meetings with board members. I felt like an equal for the first time in months and gained recognition at a senior level, as the perception of key people within my business changed for the positive. I will continue to work with Sharon going forward as I've realised its a necessary and worthwhile investment in my career.

  By Anneliese Collis

• Sharon's patience, passion and energy helped me open my eyes. I left her house thinking if I could just get across a portion of this woman's energy and passion I'd be very happy. It was just amazing and I appreciate the time she took to teach a greenhorn such as myself.
