About Luana
I moved to London six years ago to audition for drama school. I had no idea what to expect and it took me 3 years of auditions to get in. However painful it was at the time, it was a great training in itself. With the help of a professional coach, I secured a place at Mountview where I trained as an actor for the past three years and graduated with a first. I now work as a professional actress and voice-over artist.

I know how overwhelming and lonely the process of applying to drama school is. Whether it's your first time and don't really know how it works and what to expect, or it's your third year auditioning and you feel stuck and discouraged, we will work together through each step of the process. I provide a safe and honest environment for you to gain confidence in yourself and your abilities. Together we will make sure you are ready to show the individual talent you have to offer. We can transform the process of auditioning into a growing experience for you as an actor. What I can help you with: - STRATEGY BUILDING : coming up with a plan for your year of auditions, whether it's your first or your fourth time. - MATERIAL SELECTION : a key part of the process, but you might feel overwhelmed and lost. Together we will find the pieces that suit you best and that you'll enjoy performing. - MONOLOGUE WORK : script and character development, notes and feedback on how to improve. - SELF-TAPE AUDITIONS : helping you choose from the takes you did at home, or filming your piece with high-end self-tape equipment (and no chance of your mum walking-in mid-take). - ACTING THROUGH SONG : often one of the scariest tasks when auditioning for drama school, but I have a technique that will help overcome nerves and allow you to perform well. - APPLICATIONS & PERSONAL STATEMENT : it can be hard to find anything else to write other than 'I love acting!'. Together we'll make sure your personality shines, even through a Word document. - PREPARE FOR INTERVIEW : knowing what to expect will help against the nerves on the day and avoid all the 'Ahh I wished I'd said that!' inner-chatter post-interview. - READY FOR THE WORKSHOP : I'll share with you a few tricks to feel calm ahead of these sessions. - VOICE & MOVEMENT : working holistically to help you deliver your monologue clearly, freeing your body, being present and feeling calm. Remember you are not alone. I'll help you bounce back after a wobbly audition, we'll have a cup of tea and get you ready for the next one. We will work together until we celebrate your success!

If you’re looking for a tutor, I can't recommend Luana enough. We first met in an acting workshop and I was immediately impressed by her talent, intelligence and knowledge. That same year she got into drama school and I didn’t get that chance. However she continued to help me with my monologues the next year. She knows so many plays and was able to help me find unique pieces that really suited what I wanted to show and was best at. She gave me really helpful feedback and always knew how to get the best out of me. She was also a very much needed moral support during the rollercoaster of audition rounds and I am so grateful to her. I don’t think I would have secured a place without her help, encouragement and honesty.
Luana is a fantastic actress with a keen eye for sophisticated and bold acting choices, that are sure to make you stand out from the enormous crowd of auditionees. I've studied with Luana at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, and during our time there she was an invaluable source of inspiration, as well as an honest, direct and respectful criticism. She is well-read and practiced in most, if not all, the current acting techniques that are practiced in the UK, and has sharp observational skills that help her draw out the best from the actors she works alongside. There are many factors that weigh in on the decision whether to accept a prospective student into drama school - most of which are completely out of your control - but if you're willing to work hard to make sure that you are the most prepared you can be for your audition, Luana is the tutor for you.
