About Chantal

Hi there! I’m a professional actress, singer, producer and accredited Speech & Drama tutor with a lifelong passion for performance and instilling a love of the arts in young people of today. I’ve been performing since the age of five and later earned my Associate Diploma in Speech & Drama (ATCL) through Trinity College London. From there I went on to tutor students at some of the leading private schools in Queensland including St Hildas and The Southport Preparatory School.

For my own acting journey, I studied acting full-time at the New York Film Academy, where I trained with leading film and television industry professionals, some of whom I have now worked with professionally. To this day I regularly perform across theatre and screen, and run my own production company, with a goal of creating more opportunities in the arts.

I’m deeply passionate about my craft and helping young people to build their confidence, develop technique, and pursue their creative dreams, because life is too short not to!

About the lesson

Ok.. Lets do this!

With over 9+ years of professional experience tutoring students from Years 3 - 12, along with university students looking to level up before entering the workforce, I pride myself on tailoring lessons to your needs, whatever area that may be.
Creativity and courage is key to growth and I provide a safe space for you to explore these skills, boosting both your ability and confidence. Drama demands boldness, bravery and a little bit of sillyness! So I always aim to bring that energy into every lesson. As an actress myself, I often bring my methods to life with clear, visual demonstrations to enhance your understanding and provide examples and encouragement.

Communication is also incredibly vital to smooth and effective lessons. If you're not enjoying the content, I do my absolute best to change things up and keep the lessons fresh and interesting for us both.

I'm energetic, encouraging, and dedicated to helping you succeed. Whether you need work stimulus or coaching for drama assessments, acting auditions, or public speaking tasks, I'm here to help.

Join me for a free 30-minute online trial lesson to discover your goals, drive, and joy in the work.

Can't wait to work with you!

Perfect! Just amazing! Shes so kind and sweet and takes her time getting to know you and letting you know herself, making the whole atmosphere just so light and breezy. Ive always been one to be extremely anxious and nervous for video calls but i feel so comfortable and myself with Chantal even after only 2 video calls. And not to mention how good she is at finding your strengths and weaknesses and helping you evaluate on them significantly. So awesome and i cant wait to work with her more!!!

Perfect! Working with Chantal has been an absolute joy. As someone new to acting and the industry, I couldn't have asked for a better guide. She’s incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable—especially when it comes to breaking down scripts, understanding emotions, and expressing them authentically in a scene. Her guidance has made a huge difference in my confidence and growth as an actor. I can't recommend her enough for anyone looking to take acting lessons!

Chantal's response
Teaching Ethan over this last year and a half has been an absolute joy! I have seen him go from strength to strength; not just in his overall confidence, but in his approach and understanding to different texts, ranging from monologues, to musical theatre scenes, to subtle, more dramatic duologues. Ethan's willingness to learn and improve and to constantly challenge himself by trying new texts, has been an asset to his lesson progress. Ethan is a passionate and deliberate performer, who goes after everything he wants with style and focus and flare!

Perfect! I have been working with Chantal for approximately six months. She is a very patient and professional acting teacher. She always likes to give a summary at the end of each lesson, which allows me to understand what areas I should improve on and what we have done in class. My clarity of words and understanding of different characters improved significantly after these six months. I really appreciate working with her!

Helping Sally work towards her upcoming international drama school auditions has been an absolute joy! Each week, she would go from strength to strength, taking on feedback and applying it to her pieces. Sally's confidence has also progressed and her clarity of speech has improved dramatically. Sally's work ethic and fearless approach to trying new techqniques has been instrumental in her growth and I can't wait to see how she goes in her auditions!!

Chantal has been my speech and drama teacher since 2017. I so look forward to our lessons each week as we work on acting skills - voice, movement, facial expressions - and discuss poems, prose and all sorts of different literature. Speech and drama with Chantal has not only helped me develop my acting abilities but has helped me to become a more confident public speaker and in my english classes at school. Miss Ward makes lessons fun and interesting, whilst also creating a safe environment so that I feel comfortable to experiment and thus grow both my ability and confidence. I would highly recommend Chantal to anyone looking for a speech and drama teacher.

Chantal was my personal acting coach back in 2019. I had never had acting lessons before and was quite self conscious about acting in front of others. Chantal has a very encouraging and supportive manner which made me relax and enjoy the lessons. She was always well prepared, on time and made every lesson interesting. We had a lot of fun as well. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Chantal as your acting teacher/coach. She's fabulous.
