Frequently Asked Questions

Does Emily work with drama school auditionees or only established actors?

Emily works with actors at all stages of their careers. Whether you're an aspiring drama school student preparing for auditions or an experienced professional looking to refine a performance, Emily's coaching is designed to help you achieve your best results.

How are sessions conducted?

Sessions can be conducted either in person, online via video conferencing platforms, or on set if your team gives permission. This allows for flexibility regardless of location. All formats are equally effective, and Emily ensures a comfortable and focused environment tailored to your needs.

How long are the coaching sessions?

Coaching sessions typically last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on your requirements. For those preparing for specific auditions or working on lengthy pieces, longer sessions can be arranged upon request.

How should I prepare for a coaching session?

For audition preparation, it is recommended that you provide any relevant material, such as scripts or monologues, in advance if possible. For drama school auditions, Emily will guide you in selecting appropriate pieces if needed. A willingness to explore and experiment is essential, as Emily’s sessions are practical, collaborative and creative.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and their goals. Some clients benefit from a single session to fine-tune an audition piece, while others may prefer ongoing sessions to deepen their skills over time. Emily will work with you to determine the best approach based on your needs.
