Hello, I’m Nathan
I’m an actor, and an acting and movement coach.
My job is to help performers get to their best work, to play, and to grow.
I use tools including psycho-physical exercises, Meisner, improvisation, Stanislavskian techniques, actioning and many more.
I also use exercises that I’ve developed myself and honed through my work as an actor, and with other actors.
I trained at Royal Central School of Speech & Drama on the BA acting course, and studied Meisner at the Actor’s Temple for 2 years.
I now teach & direct at Central and other top drama schools, and am a panellist on Central’s audition panel.
My acting credits include stage work at the National Theatre, Almeida, Donmar Warehouse, and screen roles in The Witcher S3 & S4 [Netflix] and Code of Silence [ITV].

Hertz Global Campaign (commercial acting and movement coach)
Working with Nathan on set was a dream. I had never worked with an on-set acting coach before, and now I’m spoiled. Kind, always supportive, a skilled technician, and fun! He’s exactly the kind of person you want by your side helping you deliver your best on the last takes of the day. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.

Ghost in the Shell with Eden & Grayskull (music video on-set coaching)
I had never believed I could act or be even remotely charismatic enough to carry a project on camera. Nathan sparked a real belief that I could. I loved the process and the attention to detail that he gave to everything. he changed how I viewed acting from something I couldn’t begin to grasp to something tangible.

Drama School, Private Coaching, Self-Tapes
Royal Central School of Speech & Drama (teaching/directing)
We work with Nathan across a wide range of projects and have seen first-hand what he’s able to draw out of actors at every level. From the heightened absurdity and theatrical comedy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream to assisting me brilliantly on Blues for Mister Charlie, he has an extraordinary ability to unlock something honest and alive in performance. His superpower is creating spaces where actors feel able to play and create, and discover something unexpected and brilliant.

Successful RADA Applicant (private coaching)
Nathan gave me the opportunity to play, discover and flourish as an actor. He pushes you in a comprehensive and thorough way which guarantees you produce your finest work. He allowed me to take risks to improve, not only my acting skills, but finding fresh approaches as an actor. He offered me the freedom to try, fail and then try again. His support, encouragement and extensive knowledge facilitated me to develop the belief that I could penetrate any character that I wanted. His insight as a mentor is invaluable; his coaching, guidance and advice absolutely helped me better my craft and was a significant aspect in me becoming a far better actor. I grew tremendously in my time working with him. I would highly recommend him as an Acting Tutor/Coach and Mentor.
Adrian, successful applicant to RADA
Successful RCSSD Applicant (private coaching)
Working with Nathan not only enabled me to get the best results in a drama school cycle that I've had, but also improved my acting overall, helping me to book several jobs. His knowledge of different monologues provided me with pieces I felt connected to and he was then able to get me out of my own head. The sessions always felt incredibly tailored and his library of exercises enabled us to find the best approach that worked for me. Through a mix of physical and mental excercises the sessions created a freeing space that looked to gather ideas from me whilst refining them with his knowledge of what a panel is looking for. He kept it fun whilst never straying from the end goal and I can't recommend him enough if you're wanting to lock in during drama school audition season.

Successful Royal Conservatoire Scotland Applicant (private coaching)
Nathan creates the kindest, most supportive and grounding environment for his classes. He always encourages you to speak your mind and be brave with the material you work on. I know I can always trust him to push me to be better because his classes are a complete safe space to explore, take risks and be confident in your own voice. He makes sure that you stay true to yourself as an actor while challenging you to constantly improve. Being a working actor, he knows the highs and lows of the process and is always there to remind you why you do what you do. He’s an amazing actor and it’s so encouraging to have his support going into auditions. His joy and passion for teaching is incredible and it’s always a privilege to work with him.

About me
I love actors. I love acting. And I love helping people reconnect with their creativity, confidence, and joy. Acting can be tough. I know first-hand the self-doubt, pressure, and rejection that come with this industry. My job is to create a space where you feel safe to take risks, to play, and to mess up—because that’s where the best work lives.
I don’t believe in “getting it right.” I believe in discovering something real. Our sessions will be focused, supportive, and centred around you—your unique voice, instincts, and potential.
I have special experience working with neurodiverse actors and performers.
My workspace
I work out of my apartment in White City. It’s a calm, grounded and creative space filled with light. I have teas and coffees to fuel sessions.
This is a loving home where everyone is welcome.
I’m also available to travel to you, with a small additional charge to accommodate for travel time and cost.
