Full-time Acting teacher at Top Drama School teaching online audition/monologue work. Mountview, Central, Rose Bruford Actor/Director for 30 years RSC, National, Punchdrunk, BBC, Channel 4, Young Vic

Had plenty of one on one sessions with James to help me with my monologues and he was a delight to work with. Very friendly gave excellent advice on how to give emotional variation in my performance. Couldn’t recommend him more!

James is a sweet and patient man who has an amazing ability to bring the best out of you as an actor. He taught me for 3 years at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, who brought a lot of ease, passion and comfortability to all his lessons. I would highly recommend him!

James is an incredibly reliable and inspiring teacher. His support has helped me grow in confidence and approach my speeches with greater detail and meaning. He brings out the best in his students and always knows how to guide you toward a more truthful performance.

James is one of the best acting teachers in the UK. In some ways, I owe him my whole career.

James was my favourite tutor at Mountview. His kind and gentle nature made me feel safe in the room, and safe to 'fail' or get things 'wrong', which massively helped me grow in confidence. Hearing about his experience in the industry was inspiring and he passed on such valuable skills that are a part of my practice today. Couldn't recommend more!
