ACTING COACHING

Kieran’s experience and technical prowess speak for themselves when you are in the room with him. After working with Kieran I felt completely equipped going into the first week of rehearsals.

Acting is usually about the person playing opposite you, and yet so often you’re expected to prepare alone. Our best work isn’t achieved in isolation; it happens when we are in focused, creative dialogue with someone who can challenge, stretch and inspire us.

And when time is limited – whether you’re going into filming, theatre rehearsals or an important casting – there’s nothing better than the freedom you get from having fully prepared with an expert coach.

When you’re between roles, the challenge is different. Now is the time to stay sharp, stretch your range and explore new dimensions in your work.

Work With Me

I coach actors who want to deepen their craft and deliver their most compelling work for theatre, TV or film. Whether you’re preparing for a casting, developing a role, or looking to enhance your technique, I integrate body, voice, mind and text to help you create performances that are nuanced, truthful and alive.

I have coached actors in major productions for West End theatres, the RSC, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Netflix, Sky Studios, Disney+ and more, with clients across the UK, LA and worldwide. I have also worked with and taught at some of the UK’s leading drama schools.

Challenge your thinking & invigorate your craft

My practice focuses on freeing the voice, releasing your natural presence, finding specificity, and challenging you with bold ideas that open up new possibilities in your work. My work as a director across stage and screen also allows me to home in on the specific technique for each medium.

The learning process in art is never over. The possibilities for growth are limitless.

– Uta Hagen

Trust and Confidentiality

My coaching sessions are completely confidential, providing a space where you can work openly and be fully yourself, away from the pressures and expectations of the industry.

I’m currently running acting coaching online via Zoom. I’m also frequently between Leicester and London and offer a limited number of in-person sessions in those areas.

Kieran has to be one of the best acting coaches I have had in a long time! He changed the way I looked at performing and gave me a new perspective.

My Approach to Acting

Freedom | Specificity | Connection

I strike a balance between analysis and embodiment. Grounded in motivation psychology, my work explores human behaviour and the needs, cognitions and emotions that drive a character through dramatic conflict. As Meisner said, the most important word in an actor’s vocabulary is ‘Why’.

But acting cannot be a purely academic exercise. My practice frees the actor’s body, breath and voice to create performances that are connected, fully present and alive in the moment. The psychophysical blocks built up through modern life need to be released in order to express the full range of human thought and emotion.

Kieran’s teaching is exceptional and vital; I hung on his every word and left each session buzzing. A genuine game-changer.

One of the most transformative experiences of my acting journey. I’m incredibly grateful for the continued support he offers from across the world.
