About James

After graduating from Magdalen College Oxford in 2008 having read Archaeology and Anthropology, I trained as an actor on the 3 year BA at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), graduating in 2013. Since then, I have played snooker player, Jimmy White, in the BBC drama, ‘The Rack Pack’, and have had roles in a number of television series including ‘Call the Midwife’ (BBC), ‘Grantchester’ (ITV) and Park Chan-Wook’s, ‘The Little Drummer Girl’. I furthered my accent training as a coach through LA based Knight Thompson Speechwork (KTS), an internationally renowned accent and dialect organisation that continues the professional development of coaches. Through KTS, I completed the courses: ‘Experiencing Speech’, ‘Phonetics Intensive’ and ‘Experiencing Accents’, before completing their qualification in accent coaching.

ACCENT/DIALECT COACHING For me, finding a character’s voice can go a long way to finding the character themselves. I am a qualified accent teacher, accredited by Knight Thompson Speechwork (KTS). Prior to this qualification, I completed courses in ‘Experiencing Speech’, ‘Phonetics Intensive’ and ‘Experiencing Accents’, through KTS, which are designed as further, advanced training for accent/dialect coaches. In our session(s), we will explore the 4 P’s: PEOPLE - briefly discussing the culture of the individuals who share a particular accent; POSTURE - exploring where specific parts of the vocal tract sit when relaxed, thus affecting pronunciation (a commonly overlooked feature); PRONUNCIATION - how to move from one’s own accent into the specific sounds that are made within another accent, using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA); PROSODY - application of the musical features that are unique to an accent, such as common pitch patterns and rhythm. Sessions can typically run between 1-2 hours, and will continue until you, independently, or we, together, feel that your goal has been achieved. ACTING COACHING I trained on the 3 year BA in acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), and have been working professionally as an actor since graduating in 2013. I have been teaching acting since this time. I prepare actors for auditions for professional roles and for drama schools. I work through a series of bespoke acting methodologies to help bring out the sense of character within the given circumstances, with a focus on specificity. Methods might include working from the outside physical life of the character inwards, or from the inside out, with a primary focus on the text and how this informs choices. Often, a mixture of both is the most effective. Lessons are typically anything between 1-2 hours, and, depending on the goal, may run for either a few sessions, or on a weekly basis for an extended period of months or years.
