Private Acting Coaching in Glasgow
There are many reasons that people come to me interested in private acting coaching at my wee studio in Queen Street in Glasgow.
Some people come for help with preparation for auditioning for theatre courses or drama school. Some want to prepare for job auditions, others want to try out acting but not in front of others.
However, it’s vital that before you arrive at the door of the acting studio you have considered what you wanted to achieve from your session with your private acting coach. Acting Coaches can only work their magic if they know what it is that you want to get out of the sessions.
Just ‘getting better’ is too vague and can be achieved in 2 minutes. The more specific your goals, the more impressive the improvements.
But don’t worry; if your acting coach is worth their salt, they’ll help you to set achievable goals and encourage you to meet your personal targets. As you continue to work together you’ll take more responsibility for setting your own targets and reaching them.
A good acting coach wants you to improve so you can fend for yourself, they don’t expect you to come every week, just when needed.
Some people need more help than others.
Chat with a coach in advance to see if the pair of you will gel. Find out a little by Googling the coach. Assure yourself that this person is the real deal and not just a high school drama teacher with delusions. Make sure that they’ve professional experience and not just academic experience. Seek out the best coach you can and then when you make the financial investment to work with them, making the psychological commitment to work with them too.
Training doesn’t have to be expensive either. I’m automatically suspicious of costly coaches, even with a pedigree.
