Testimonials

“Eye-opening acting lesson with Kieran!”

“Being directed by Kieran is the hardest I have ever been worked as an actor. The amount of depth he encouraged me to go into with my character and as an actor showed me a whole new level to the craft of acting. Kieran’s understanding of text and the way in which he directs actors is completely unique to anything I’ve experienced before. I hope to meet more directors like Kieran in the future and be pushed to this level again!”

“Working with Kieran has encouraged me to be confident in my own outlook and talent as both an actor and creative. His training has been so nurturing for me, being introduced to advanced acting techniques that I wouldn’t have had access to outside of drama schools. As a mentor and director, he challenges you to escape your comfort zone, creating an environment where you know you’re safe to do so. Working one on one with monologues is exciting, with sessions full of incredible breakthroughs and discoveries about the text, character and delivery resulting in drastic improvements in my all-important audition monologues. The training that I’ve received from Kieran and working with such a highly creative and caring person has elevated me to recognise my vast potential as an actress and given me the courage to utilise it.”

“Kieran is an outstanding director as well as a teacher. His knowledge of his craft is incredible; he takes and dissects our scenes and characters and makes them well rounded to a professional standard. He is also a nice and understanding person, which helps too! My acting skills have improved immensely since he started teaching me and changed the way I work on a monologue or a piece of text.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Kieran in preparation for an audition for an acting agency which I am now represented by thanks to him! Kieran was always encouraging and I always left the classes feeling extremely confident. Kieran helped me improve my acting technique with clear instructions, focused exercises, and deliberate tactics. Additionally, Kieran is greatly knowledgeable about the acting industry having been in it himself and his advice was invaluable.

I have the utmost respect for Kieran as an acting coach and I give him my highest recommendation. Thank you again Kieran!”

“I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you really helped me with my monologue and my confidence and I feel like it definitely made the difference to me being accepted!

I would highly recommend Kieran to anyone with upcoming auditions or wanting to work on their acting.”

“Kieran has to be one of the best acting coaches I have had in a long time! In the five 2 hour workshops I had with him he changed the way I looked at performing and gave me a new perspective. Kieran works tirelessly throughout the sessions in order to get you to truly understand what he is teaching. You could really see an improvement in each individual in the class from the first session till the last. I would highly recommend Kieran and I hope I get to work with him again in the future.”

“Kieran not only worked on my speeches during coaching sessions but was always keen to offer advice throughout the whole application process. During the sessions, rather than giving me answers, he asked questions that allowed me to come to the answers myself. Ultimately, this enabled me to develop a deep and thorough understanding of the speeches and helped produce more truthful performances. He challenged and brought out the best in me whilst still making it a really enjoyable experience.”

“Kieran’s workshops were exciting, thought-provoking and a pleasure to be part of. He directed them with enthusiasm and vital knowledge which caught everyone’s attention. What he taught was hugely insightful, relevant and eye opening. He was very specific in the way he taught yet without giving us all the answers. What I have taken away from the workshops will be memorable and hugely valuable. Thank you, Kieran!”

“Right off the bat, Kieran surprised me with his attention to detail and his knowledge of Shakespeare’s text. He identified my habits, informed me of some of my ineffective choices, and ultimately made me realise my blind spots. No minute was wasted working with Kieran, and he even made himself available to me outside of coaching time for advice. I went into my drama school auditions with confidence having known I had worked with a quality coach and ultimately I got the result I wanted – I got in. I would recommend Kieran to anybody. “

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

“Kieran has been really supportive in my preparation for recent auditions. Through working on my monologues, he has given me the confidence to go into auditions knowing my pieces are the strongest they can be, which resulted in me gaining a place at drama school. The sessions were challenging but enjoyable and he worked with me to ensure I got the best understanding of my characters and pieces.”

“Kieran has helped me to improve as an actor in more ways than one. Since working with Kieran I have not only been more creative but I’ve also become more mentally prepared for a career as an actor. Kieran’s professionalism and direction get you working hard but also give you a much deeper understanding of the performance you are giving. Kieran has a very impressive knowledge of Shakespeare, and working with an acting coach with such great understanding and ability was brilliant! I would definitely recommend!”

“Thank you, Kieran, for all of the advice and direction you gave me while I was preparing for my agency showcase. Straight away Kieran gave me the confidence to believe in myself and my work. We worked through my scene and by implementing his advice and direction my scene changed massively for the better. I know I would not have been as confident on the night had I not had Kieran’s direction. He also looked in detail at my self-tapes and kindly gave me feedback. He knows straight away what needs to change, even just slight changes to make the scene even better. I am so thankful for Kieran’s help and that I worked with him before my showcase. He was enthusiastic during our lessons and I always had fun even though we were both working hard. I will most definitely be asking Kieran for his advice and direction again in the future. He is a wonderful coach.”

“I absolutely loved working with Kieran for the 5 weeks he taught us. He pushed and challenged us to give our all in every session and I certainly feel my acting has improved markedly as a result of his guidance.”
