Recent projects I've supported actors for:
HOW I CAN HELP
In-person castings or self-tapes
Whether you’re walking into a room full of people or sending off a tape from home, preparation is key. I’ll guide you through the process so you can show up with confidence, professionalism, and the ability to adapt to whatever the situation demands.
Text
We’ll break down the script together so that every beat and intention is clear. You’ll be able to navigate the text with precision, purpose, and ease.
Character
We'll sharpen character choices to bring depth and authenticity to each role while still leaving room for spontaneity.
Preparation
I'll make sure you feel confident, grounded and ready.
TESTIMONIALS
I had an audition come through for a one woman show at the Manchester Royal Exchange. One hour and thirty minutes on stage, no interval. Jamie taught me how to take on a monologue and we worked through and practiced my audition pieces. It was such valuable advice and guidance for me.
I got the job! I have no doubt because I workshopped it with him first. I thoroughly recommend Jamie!
⸺ Liv Hill
Jamie is my go-to if I'm feeling unsure about a character, text, or how I'm presenting myself in an audition.
We work on things like finding the most natural rhythm and atmosphere for a scene, sharpening intentions, and how that all affects characterisation. For me, it also really helps to practice the scene at full performance energy in front of a discerning eye, and he helps stamp out the vagueness that can creep in when you've only done it alone.
The result is always a much more confident audition, and I've never regretted booking a session with Jamie, because it brings me closer to doing my best work!
⸺ Cormac Diamond
I just wanted to let you know that I just got into my first choice drama school and course like I wanted! Thank you so so much for your help, and your advice, you helped me get on the right track early on, and it helped me throughout the whole process.

About Me
I’m a director, teacher, designer, and maker with a career that spans theatre, broadcast media, and casting. My work has always been rooted in creativity and collaboration, whether I’m guiding performers, designing costumes and props, or helping actors unlock their potential.
As a designer, I’ve created costumes and props for music videos with artists including Band of Skulls, Feeder, Gabrielle Aplin, Kate Nash, Kodaline, and Paul Weller, as well as sets, props and costumes for theatre and puppetry companies.
Alongside this, I’ve spent more than 12 years working in casting, specialising in commercials and short films—giving me an insider’s perspective on what it takes to stand out in an audition.
My own journey began as a child actor, appearing (very briefly!) in Granada TV productions, before co-founding a theatre company and later training at East 15 Acting School. I’ve since gone on to complete an MA in Actor Training & Coaching at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama.
The variety of my background means I approach every project with both creative insight and practical knowledge—helping actors bring clarity, authenticity, and confidence to their work.
I currently teach acting on the MA Musical Theatre course at The Royal Academy of Music.
