Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Northern Ireland looks like
Northern Ireland's screen industry is concentrated in Belfast around Titanic Studios, which has hosted major productions (Game of Thrones, Line of Duty, Derry Girls). The country uses AccessNI rather than the DBS used in England and Wales.
Coaching for young Northern Ireland actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Northern Ireland minors hold a current AccessNI Enhanced check, issued by AccessNI (Department of Justice Northern Ireland). Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Northern Ireland-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Northern Ireland. Accent work is available when the role demands it.

Six weeks in, I booked a guest role on a show I had chased for two years.
