Hello, I’m Nathan
I’m an actor and an acting coach.
My job is to help you get to your best work, to play, and to grow as an actor.
I use tools including psycho-physical exercises, Meisner, improvisation, Stanislavskian techniques, actioning and many more.
I also use exercises that I’ve developed myself and honed through my work as an actor, and with other actors.
I trained at Royal Central School of Speech & Drama on the BA acting course, and studied Meisner at the Actor’s Temple for 2 years.
I now teach & direct at Central and other top drama schools, and am a panellist on Central’s audition panel.
My acting credits include stage work at the National Theatre, Almeida, Donmar Warehouse, and screen roles in The Witcher S3 & S4 [Netflix] and Code of Silence [ITV].

Testimonials
Ghost in the Shell with Eden & Grayskull
job - music video, on set coaching
I had never believed I could act or be even remotely charismatic enough to carry a project on camera. Nathan sparked a real belief that I could. I loved the process and the attention to detail that he gave to everything. he changed how I viewed acting from something I couldn’t begin to grasp to something tangible.

Central School of Speech & Drama
job - directing, assistant directing
We work with Nathan across a wide range of projects and have seen first-hand what he’s able to draw out of actors at every level. From the heightened absurdity and theatrical comedy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream to assisting me brilliantly on Blues for Mister Charlie, he has an extraordinary ability to unlock something honest and alive in performance. His superpower is creating spaces where actors feel able to play and create, and discover something unexpected and brilliant.

Nathan is excellent at getting the best work out of people, whether they are complete novices, supporting artists or pros. He’s a lot of fun to have on a job and brings an aura of calm to the sometimes crazy tensions of being on set. He is fantastic at intuiting what every artist needs and has elevated every project we have worked with him on. We highly recommend working with him.

About me
I love actors. I love acting. And I love helping people reconnect with their creativity, confidence, and joy. Acting can be tough. I know first-hand the self-doubt, pressure, and rejection that come with this industry. My job is to create a space where you feel safe to take risks, to play, and to mess up—because that’s where the best work lives.
I don’t believe in “getting it right.” I believe in discovering something real. Our sessions will be focused, supportive, and centred around you—your unique voice, instincts, and potential.
I have special experience working with neurodiverse actors and performers.
My workspace
I work out of my apartment in White City. It’s a calm, grounded and creative space filled with light. I have teas and coffees to fuel sessions.
This is a loving home where everyone is welcome.
I’m also available to travel to you, with a small additional charge to accommodate for travel time and cost.
