About Ryan
Firstly, I understand exactly what it feels like to have to prepare for that first audition or the 1000th audition, and never quite knowing if what I am doing is believe-able and will make me stand out from all the other actors competing for that role or place at Drama School.
The best advice I ever received was "There is No Magic Trick". Talent will get you far but really working on a script, monologue, speech, performance with the help of a professional who can take you beat by beat and moment by moment will produce a true and natural performance.
I offer an honest, direct approach but it will always be fun. When you feel you're getting it right Acting is the best job in the world!

I trained at Drama Centre London graduating with a BA in Acting.
I offer a 60 minute class which can include watching your performances followed by a breakdown of the text, direction of performance, tuition and a true understanding of the requirements of acting. Drawing techniques from Stanislavski, Lee Strasbourg, Uta Hagen, Mike Leigh and many more practitioners I have studied and worked with. I will always be able to bring out the truth in a performance. Through encouragement of detail, preparation, dissection and fun exersizes we can always give ourselves, the text and script its true potential.
I have acted on TV and Film for 25 years. I am currently a regular character in Coronation Street (ITV), Almost Never (BBC), the Archers (BBCR4) and have performed in theatres throughout the world from the Royal Court, Shakespeare's Globe, Royal Exchange Manchester, Young Vic, Barbican to Broadway. You will have also seen me in The Crown, Knightfall, Grantchester, Casualty, Emmerdale, Holby City, and many many more.
I have taught Acting at LAMDA, Mark Jerman Drama School and I direct Shakespeare for the HMDT.
I can adapt my class to beginners to experienced from age 14+

I trained at the Drama Centre London with Ryan. I’ve had a front row seat how he has used his training throughout his career as an actor and now also with coaching to bring out the best performances in himself and now in others. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Ryan is a brilliant actor, a generous teacher and an excellent human being. I have known him since 2002 when we appeared in Mike Alfreds' acclaimed production of Midsummer Nights Dream together at Shakespeare’s Globe and since then have watched his amazing career tick off a shopping list of gold standard achievements ranging from appearances at London's Royal Court and Barbican theatres to playing regular roles in The Archers and Coronation Street. He has always had a brilliant understanding of the business and an astute eye for enabling fellow actors to locate the very essence of a role and thereby create captivating and dynamic characters. He will also make you laugh. A lot.
I have witnesses Ryan first-hand as a wonderful actor and an impressive teacher. He can draw performances from people using his vast experience. His lesson are practice-based and highly engaging.
I initially met Ryan in 2001, when we were both filming a long running TV series together - and nearly 25 years later he's still the person I go to for acting advice! He has extensive experience both as a performer and a tutor with not only a deep understanding of the craft but an innate ability to bring out the best in other people. Crucially, he is a busy, in demand actor today. . and a brilliant one at that. I'm delighted to recommend him.
