Auditioning for drama school
*SPECIAL NOTICE*
22/03/2020
I’m heartbroken for the arts industry as a whole who are suffering greatly during this time. In an attempt to offer what little support I can I am offering FREE online 1:1s to a limited number of drama school applicants every week. This will be an opportunity to workshop a monologue, receive feedback and advice and prepare for your audition during this time of quarantine.
ONLINE acting sessions mean that wherever you are in the country you can receive one-to-one coaching from the convenience of your own home. It gives you the opportunity to workshop a monologue, receive feedback and advice, and prepare for your audition without having to travel. Online classes are also particularly useful to actors who are preparing for self-tapes or looking for last minute tips and refinement.
Kieran uses techniques used in leading drama schools and the rehearsal rooms of modern British theatre to train actors with all levels of experience. His forward-thinking approach supplies the actor with a toolkit that enables a truthful and reactive performance. One-to-one sessions are tailored around the specific needs of the individual.
FAQ
How do online sessions work?
Online one-to-ones are conducted through Zoom. Once you’ve booked a session you’ll receive a link that will allow you to enter your meeting at the appropriate time. If you’ve not used Zoom before it will install the lightweight software onto your PC. You will not need to give out any personal details or create an account.
You can find out more info about Zoom at https://zoom.us/
What devices can I use?
You can use Zoom on any device including a laptop, computer and smart TV. You can even use Zoom on your phone by downloading the Zoom app.
How can I get the best connection?
A stable internet connection is important to get the most out of your session.
For best results connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. WIFI is the next best option and after that, 4G and 3G.
To get the strongest connection, switch off anything else that is connecting to your internet. Quality may be poor if someone else on your wifi network is on Xbox live or streaming Netflix / YouTube.
How do I pay?

DRAMA SCHOOL
Having worked extensively on the audition panel for multiple drama schools, including (currently) the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Kieran has an up-to-date and in-depth insight into what drama schools are looking for. His vast experience working with students on audition technique and preparation gives drama school applicants the best possible opportunity to stand out in front of the panel.
Many coaches can leave a performance feeling robotic and choreographed and can sometimes be more detrimental than good. Simply having someone direct your monologue isn’t going to get you noticed for the right reasons. Kieran brings out the best in his students by building on their strengths and allowing them the freedom to pilot their own progress whilst guiding them towards a conservatoire-ready performance. This approach ensures the students are empowered to go into their audition and present the best version of themselves that they possibly can.
Previous private students have been accepted into drama schools including:
