Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Edinburgh looks like
Edinburgh carries a creative scene weighted toward theatre (the Fringe) that feeds into screen casting. Regional BBC Scotland and independent drama production use the city regularly.
Coaching for young Edinburgh actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Edinburgh minors hold a current PVG Scheme membership, issued by Disclosure Scotland. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Edinburgh-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Edinburgh. Accent work is available when the role demands it.

The self-tape setup advice alone was worth the session.
The callback prep changed how I walk into rooms.
