About Vaila
Having worked as a Director for companies such as National Theatre of Scotland, Dundee Rep, Edinburgh International Festival and Southwark Playhouse, I have worked with a range of different actors. Having been involved in Casting & Audition decisions, I understand how daunting it can be standing up and delivering a monologue to a panel of professionals. Through our lessons, I aim to understand how you work best, collaborating to strengthen your understanding of text & character, but most importantly making sure you feel confident walking into an Audition room setting.
Further, having worked as a Dramaturg for various companies, I also provide Dramaturgical sessions. If you have a play or film script in development, I can provide research & development workshops, helping you sound board & develop your script into the next draft.
In addition to Directing, I have 5+ years experience in childcare, working with and teaching workshops to a range of children from early years up to high school leavers.

I will guide you through audition technique whether that be Self Taping Practice, an Audition for a role, Drama School Auditions or LAMDA Exams. Or even if you just want to practice a certain piece of text or speech!
If you have a script you are keen to develop, I also provide dramaturgical r&d workshops - helping you soundboard your script into the next draft!
I pride myself on my ability to balance support & challenge. No actor's process is the same, therefore through my lessons, I always follow your lead and collaborate to make sure you reach your goals. I trained on the MA Directing Course at Drama Centre London, so have unique training in LABAN & Character Analysis. I further have worked with various companies as a dramaturg, so approach work in minute detail. I believe through working together first to unpick & understand a character's intentions, the easier it is to bring a monologue or scene to life.

Vaila is an extremely talented, personable and astute teacher. She has pushed me as an actor to create detailed and layered performances for auditions and self tapes which I have booked, most notably for Netflix. Working with Vaila is an opportunity no budding or experienced actor should miss out on!
Vaila is a brilliant, intuitive teacher, who carefully adapts her classes to fulfill her individual students needs. I would thoroughly recommend her.
Vaila has been a friend of mine since our school days and I can’t think of anyone who would be a more inspiring, supportive and engaging tutor.
Vaila is an extremely talented director, with a wealth of experience in the theatre industry. Not only has she been an Assistant Director on several major productions, but she has written, directed and produced her own work (!). The dedication she has to her craft shows up in everything she does - and the way she lives and breathes the acting world will come out in her lessons.
Arguably more importantly, Vaila is an incredible person to be around. She brings a positive, inspiring energy with her wherever she goes. She’s playful, caring, positive - and a true joy to be around.
With this experience and talent combined, she will be a brilliant tutor for anyone looking to develop their skills in this area. You’ll be safe in the hands of an incredibly talented, experienced and caring individual.I wholeheartedly recommend Vaila for a tutoring position. I’ve known her for many years, and what stands out most is how genuinely caring and committed she is. I feel confident she would provide a high level of teaching across a variety of subjects.
