Acting auditions and drama school auditions offer some of the most challenging experiences for any actor, no matter how experienced. Actors are subjected to a process that is imperfect at the best of times and downright cruel at the worst. Nevertheless, they are a staple of the performing arts industry and they are not going away any time soon. So we better learn to turn them to our favour.

No matter how many times one steps forward to speak in front of others, a rush of energy will always flood our bodies beforehand. What we learn from mindfulness is that this isn’t just to be expected, but to be embraced. This felt energy, which is simply an expression of our internal biology, is a gift that we can learn to harness to our own advantage. By learning to develop tolerance and calm alongside the energy without trying to suppress or get rid of it, we cultivate that elusive state of presence.

Are you curious about mindfulness but aren't sure where to start? Maybe you tried meditation but didn't really get it? Or perhaps you already meditate but are looking for fresh guidance and direction?

Despite what some may think, mindfulness isn't for a select few, it's for everyone! If you think it's not for you, chances are you've just not been explained it properly in a way that makes sense for your mind. Mindfulness training utilises the inherent skills and capacities you already have and enhances them with engaged and enjoyable practice.

Testimonials

“Daniel is a life saver! Not only is he super smart and insightful, he also helped me find a new way of working. I always felt way more confident and prepared after coaching with him and he made the process fun! He’d often make discoveries in the text I would never have thought of which opened up new possibilities for me and made everything richer. If I ever felt confused by a scene, I knew I could count on him to shed new light on it and help me figure it out. I’m stronger for having worked with him and grateful for his guidance.”

"What has struck me most about my time with Daniel is his willingness to help actors through the often perilous and frightening terrain of performance, without judgment, aided by a skill set as comprehensive and accessible as anything I could have hoped to come across. Daniel’s approach is clear, concise and very powerful. After every session I feel like I’ve gained some new insight into myself as a performer, or have been able to grasp some previously unknown depths of a text. A tremendously encouraging and trustworthy acting coach who will do amazing things for anybody that trains with him."

I’ve been to Dan’s classes before and this is my second lot of film scene study classes. Learning more about myself as an Actor and being pushed outside my comfort zone. Will be looking forward to doing more classes with Dan in the future.

Dan’s classes are professional yet unpretentious. In each session I felt challenged and confident that the environment was a safe and supportive place. Scene study was a great opportunity to collaborate with a scene partner. I also valued the practise of receiving direction and applying it to my work effectively with Dan’s clear and encouraging guidance. I would recommend Mindful Acting to any newcomer or performer looking to refine their skills and I look forward to attending again myself in the future.

Up to now I have had 3 one to one sessions with Dan and they have been amazing. I have always had a love for acting but at 62 I felt I had really missed the boat. Dan's sympathetic and encouraging training is building my confidence in so many ways. I am learning to memorise scripts and to delve into the characters and am even learning alot about myself. Dan is an expert in bringing the best out of people and he has filled me with a new found confidence in my acting ability. One of the best decisions I've made in a long time is to join Mindful Acting classes.

Having recently completed Dan’s 4-week Film Scene Study course, I have absolutely no hesitation in offering a heartfelt recommendation to actors of all levels of experience. I signed up keen to sharpen my technique following the pandemic, and to reflect on my preparation and approach to acting for the camera. Within a lovely group of just 6, Dan created a warm, safe room in which to challenge me individually, and tailored his tutoring for each participant based on their specific needs and goals. I finished the course with renewed confidence in and clarity around my craft, thanks to Dan’s approach and great expertise. A wonderful four weeks!

Dan is an intuitive and insightful teacher. He makes sure to get the absolute best from you and doesn't let you off the hook in the most caring and supportive way. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, Dan will guide your acting to what is authentic and unique to you. Can't recommend him enough. Good teachers are rare. Inspirational ones are rarer. Dan is both.
