“A guru is not somebody who thinks they have it all figured out. A guru is someone who is so aligned with their path, practice and existence that simply being in their presence allows you to unlock new levels of awareness that can help you guide your own life.”
Hey I’m Matt, a.k.a
The Drama Guru
As a performing arts coach, I guide, nurture, impart knowledge and offer advice to performing artists of all ages and abilities.
I’ve worked in television, theatre and film my entire career, but what I love most is inspiring young people to become exceptional performers.
My Philosophy
Whichever coaching service of mine you choose, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) support is always at its heart. My coaching approach is holistic, focusing on the whole child, and I truly believe that academic development is only possible once all primary SEMH needs are addressed first. My sessions are inclusive and suitable for everyone. Without fail they’re challenging and inspiring… and always entertaining.
Drama
Coaching
Have you ever watched someone perform to a crowd and not even break into a sweat? Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret – it’s a skill that can be learned!
LAMDA Exam
Coaching
The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is a world-leading performing arts conservatoire. Its diverse exam programme for young actors and performance artists is both rigorous and highly esteemed.
Public Speaking
Coaching
As The Drama Guru, I offer one-on-one public speaking coaching for all age groups – from young people looking to improve their confidence and communication skills, to corporate employees keen to unlock their career potential.
Audition
Coaching
Auditions are never easy. A lot of people fall at the first hurdle by choosing the wrong pieces to audition with and, because the work isn’t a natural fit, they’re overcome with nerves in the moment.
Corporate
Coaching
With 30+ years of live theatre, dance and music storytelling experience, I regularly offer freelance consulting services to corporations, arts organisations and theatre groups.
