S1 Ep3: Asking My Agent: What They Look for and How It All Works

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

samedi 21 mars 2026 • Durée 38:18

In this episode of The Drama Coach Podcast, I’m joined by a talent agent to answer some of the most common questions I’m asked on social media - from auditions and self-tapes to what agents are really looking for when taking on new clients.

We talk through what’s helpful to understand as a performer (or parent), and share honest insight into how the process works behind the scenes.

A practical, down-to-earth conversation to help you feel more informed and confident navigating the industry.

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 19 mars 2026 • Durée 16:51

In this first episode of The Drama Coach Podcast, I explore what acting training really offers young performers - beyond just “being on stage”.

From building confidence and communication skills to understanding that everything from dance to sport can support performance, I share what to look for in a class, how to recognise progress, and why enjoyment should always come first. And why it’s OK to step away when something no longer feels right.

S1 Ep8: What Is a Monologue - And How Do You Actually Prepare One?

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

samedi 18 avril 2026 • Durée 21:42

In this episode, I break down what a monologue actually is - and how to approach one in a clear, practical way.

Whether you’re preparing for an audition, a self-tape, LAMDA, or performance work, monologues can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I take you step by step through how to choose, understand and perform a monologue with confidence.

This isn’t about overacting or trying to impress - it’s about making clear choices and bringing the piece to life in a truthful, grounded way.

We cover:

What a monologue is (and what it isn’t)
Choosing the right piece for you
Understanding the character and context
Breaking the text down into clear, playable moments
Learning your lines without sounding rehearsed
Performing for stage vs screen vs self-tape
Common mistakes and how to avoid them

If you’re working on a monologue right now, or know you need one soon, this will give you a clear starting point and a structure you can come back to.

If you’d like more support with this, I’ve created a full monologue course where I guide you step by step through the entire process - from choosing the right piece, to performing it with clarity and confidence:

S1 Ep7: Balancing School and Acting - with Lacey

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

samedi 18 avril 2026 • Durée 43:17

Join me as I chat with 11-year-old actor Lacey about her real-life experiences in the industry so far - from her first time on set to managing auditions, handling rejection, and balancing acting with school life.

This is an honest, grounded conversation that offers valuable insight for both young performers and their parents - especially if you're just starting out.

Lacey shares what it actually feels like to be on set, how she approaches self-tapes, and the routines that help her stay organised and confident. We also talk about the challenges of NDAs, navigating disappointment, and finding joy in both screen and theatre work.

A calm, practical and reassuring listen - straight from a young actor living it.

✨ In This Episode We Cover:

First experiences on set - excitement, nerves, and learning fast
What NDAs really mean (and how to manage them as a young actor)
Handling rejection and staying positive
Balancing school, self-tapes and auditions
Self-tape routines and learning lines
The difference between in-person auditions and self-tapes

S1 Ep6: They Didn’t Get the Role – And That’s Normal

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 11 avril 2026 • Durée 43:39

When they don’t get the role, it can feel like everything’s fallen apart – for them and for you.

In this episode, we’re reframing “rejection” and looking at what’s really going on behind the scenes of casting. Because in this industry, hearing “no” (or nothing at all) isn’t the exception – it’s the norm.

I’ll share how to support your child through disappointment, how to talk about outcomes without knocking their confidence, and why not getting the role often has nothing to do with their talent.

This isn’t about brushing it off or pretending it doesn’t matter. It’s about building resilience, perspective and a healthier way of navigating auditions – so they can keep going, keep learning and still enjoy what they do.

If this episode helps, feel free to follow and share it with another parent or young performer who might need to hear it.

A practical, honest conversation for performers and parents looking to take that next step with clarity and confidence.

We also talk about how we connected on TikTok.

S1 Ep10: The Acting Terms Everyone Uses (But No One Explains)

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

dimanche 26 avril 2026 • Durée 25:19

Have you ever heard terms like “self-tape”, “pencilled” or “on hold” and thought - wait, what does that actually mean?

Because in this industry, there’s a lot of language that gets thrown around - and if you’re new to it, it can feel confusing, overwhelming… and honestly, a bit intimidating.

In this episode, I break down the key acting terms you’re likely to hear - across auditions, training and on set - and explain them in a clear, simple way that actually helps you use them.

This is a really practical one - whether you’re a young actor just starting out, or a parent supporting your child through auditions and training.

We cover:

audition terms like self-tapes, slates, recalls, being pencilled and availability checks
training terms like showreels and workshops
on-set language you might hear when you step into professional work

If you’ve ever felt unsure of the “industry language” - this will help you feel more confident, more informed, and much more in control of the process.

And if there’s a term you’ve heard and still don’t understand, send it in - I’d love to include it in a future episode.

How oracy shows up in classrooms, auditions and everyday life
