Andrew is an Acting Coach for Stage and Screen.
He trained in theatre and has directed Stage professionally for over fifteen years. He works regularly with leading drama schools including the Royal Welsh College Of Music & Drama and the Guildhall School Of Music & Drama, teaches at organisations including ALT. and Open Door and trains young performers at the National Youth Theatre.
He has worked as an on set coach on major film and television projects, including the Emmy-nominated Masters Of The Air (Apple TV), collaborating with Cary Joji Fukunaga, the BAFTA-nominated Jerk (BBC), rehearsing the series regulars, and the Cannes-acclaimed My Father’s Shadow (Element Pictures), where he coached the lead child actors across a two-month shoot in Lagos, Nigeria.
Whether casting, rehearsing or shooting, his approach is practical, playful and actor-led. He tailors his work to each performer’s needs, focused on getting the best out of everyone he works with, whatever their experience. He has a particular specialism in working with first-time actors, including models, dancers, musicians, children and street-cast performers.
He coaches privately, preparing actors for auditions/roles and providing one-to-one training. Previous coaching clients include Anthony Boyle, Austin Butler, Ava Max, Barry Keoghan, Edward Bluemel, Ellis Howard, Isabella Laughland, Mary Beth Barone, Mary Malone and Seamus McLean Ross.
His acting class, How To Act, helps professional actors develop their craft and sharpen their approach to screen acting.
