About Phillip
I’m a professional actor, director and university acting course leader with over 25 years of experience working nationally and internationally across theatre, television and film.
My acting credits include eight productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company, alongside work at the National Theatre, Royal Court, Chichester Festival Theatre and Lincoln Center, New York, as well as BBC and ITV productions.
Alongside my professional acting career, I’ve spent over 15 years teaching and directing at some of the UK’s leading drama schools and conservatoires, including previous roles as Head of Acting.
I’m currently Course Leader and Acting Lead at Performers College Brighton, where I oversee the development and delivery of contemporary actor training.
My teaching draws on extensive professional experience and a genuine commitment to helping people develop their confidence, creativity and individuality, whether they’re preparing for a career in acting or looking to become more confident communicators.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I offer individual, tailored coaching in acting, audition preparation and public speaking, working with aspiring performers, experienced actors and anyone looking to develop their confidence and communication skills.
I believe we do our best work when we feel relaxed, focused and able to explore without fear of getting things wrong. My approach is supportive, practical and collaborative, helping each person discover their own strengths and develop confidence in their abilities.
Acting & Audition Preparation
Whether you’re preparing for drama school auditions, working on a monologue, exploring a character or developing your acting technique, I can help with text and character analysis, acting techniques, voice, performance skills and making clear, confident creative choices.
I have particular experience working with classical texts, having performed in eight productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company, alongside extensive work in contemporary theatre.
I’ve taught at many of the UK’s leading drama schools, including LAMDA, ArtsEd, Central School of Speech and Drama, Guildford School of Acting and Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. I also offer guidance on drama school applications, audition preparation and the demands of professional actor training.
Public Speaking, Speech Development & Confidence
I work with individuals preparing for speeches, presentations and other occasions where they need to communicate confidently and effectively.
Alongside practical coaching in voice, delivery and managing nerves, I can help with developing and shaping the material itself — finding a clear structure, identifying what you really want to say and making sure the words feel natural and authentic.
Dramaturgy & Text Development
I also offer dramaturgical support for actors, writers and theatre-makers, helping to explore and develop scripts, scenes and performance material. This might involve examining structure, character, dramatic action and the relationship between text and performance.
Lessons
Each session is shaped around your individual needs, experience and goals. Lessons generally last between one and two hours and are available in person in Brighton & Hove or online.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate. For students under 18, a parent or responsible adult must be present for in-person lessons.

Phillip is an excellent tutor; he is knowledgeable, fun to be around, and creates a comfortable environment to learn in. I would highly recommend.
Phillip is fantastic. That’s the short version. He’s the most incredible tutor. It isn’t simply his professional knowledge and passion, it’s his energy. He has an ability to create an environment where it’s fun to learn even the hardest of skills. Phillip adapts lessons to suit your specific needs; his open style of communication makes lessons flow, and that means - easy to understand. You can ask questions, challenge yourself, and really trust that you’re in good hands. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat.
