  • acting coaching

    £39 per hour / £56 for 90 mins

    With over a decade of experience working in TV and film since graduating from drama school - and now, over a year of coaching 100+ actors - I’ve loved using my industry knowledge and acting experience to support other actors in their craft. From 150+ self tapes, screen acting training, and conversations with casting directors and creatives on The 98% podcast, I bring a well-rounded and honest perspective to each session.

    Having lived and worked in both the UK and North America, I offer insight into multiple markets and what those on the other side of the table are looking for. My coaching is grounded in clarity, confidence-building, and helping actors find joy and creativity in the process - whether preparing for a big audition, developing craft, or simply reigniting the love of acting.

    It's a privilege to support actors not only in booking the room and the role, but in growing as artists - and enjoying the journey along the way!

    “Over the years I’ve worked with quite a few coaches. All of them were good but none as good as Alexa. With her acting background & industry knowledge Alexa's ability to analyse a script is second to none. She’s a joy to work with and always finds hidden gems to make scenes and self tapes stand out.”
    - Kelly, actor

  • career consultancy

    £29 per hour + follow up notes

    There are a plethora of coaches and consultants out there that will sell you the idea of the recipe they have for stardom and success. But I am not one of them! I believe that the constant pressure of striving for “success” (whatever that even means) can do more harm than good. If only 2% of actors earn their main source of income from acting work, realistically speaking you’re likely going to be spending a lot of time out of work. So how can we make that time just as fulfilling, exciting, enjoyable, and creatively inspiring as when you are in work? What steps can you take to be productive and open new doors? That’s why I’m here, to help figure that out.

    These sessions can be utilized however you think you’d benefit from them. Most consultancies start with reviewing your Spotlight page/casting profile and how to spruce it up, and then other common conversations consist of career goals and tangible steps to take towards them, mindset shifts and confidence building, help with industry outreach, agent queries, and more!

    “Alexa provided a thoroughly detailed service from start to finish and provided so much insight in just one session. I came out of the session with a clear plan for my career going forward, and with a deeper understanding of the ins and outs of the industry. I would recommend her to any actor looking for career guidance!”

  • showreel editing

    Starting at £35

    After Alexa put together my showreel I had 3 screen auditions come through in 10 days and I'm certain that mixing up my reel helped massively.”

Hear from an actor who's experienced the benefit of ongoing sessions With AWA…

“I've been working with Alexa for over 6 months now, and she's been an incredible coach, mentor and advocate throughout this time. Her vast knowledge of the insides of the industry are invaluable - her strategies, practical tips and personable approach have been instrumental in me signing with a new agent and securing some work as an actor. She creates an enthusiastic and energised environment that gives me room to take risks and play, cultivating a perfect blend of a session that is enjoyable, challenging and creatively stimulating. Her feedback is always clear, concise and honest, with useful notes that contribute towards creating a well formed scene. I've found that under her guidance I've developed more confidence in my ability to make clear choices, find nuance and be present in a way that allows for spontaneity and 'freshness'. Even over Zoom - Alexa's energy is infectious and it feels just like being back in a rehearsal room! What sets Alexa apart is her continued support once the session ends. She offers great advice about navigating what can feel like a challenging industry, reminders of what to stay connected to and confidence boosts in abilities. She always holds room for 'wobbles' and offers positive reassurance that is grounded and kind. In an industry that can feel perpetually isolating and leave creatives wondering if 'they're good enough', Alexa is here to remind us of the things we can control and build on. Her commitment to her craft and her teaching is a testament to her passion, abilities and kindness. I am always excited about the session with her and to see what we will uncover. She's a star and I'd recommend sessions with her to anyone!”

    -Workshopping of scene with focus on good skill, and also good self tape techqnique
    -Record Self Tape

    Intro to self taping:
    For actors new to self taping who want to learn he basics of the technical and logistical aspects to make the most of when a self tape audition comes their way.

    Let’s work on all the basics to get you a self tape set up and routine that help facilitate a relaxed, confident, enjoyable audition.
    Sides can be provided if needed to have a scene to work on!

    Self tape level up:
    For actors who have the basics down and want to improve their screen acting technique and self taping approach.

    Let’s work on the intricacies of providing a nuanced, thought provoking and fun self tape.
    Sides can be provided if needed, to have a scene to work on!

  • We can work on a scene of your choosing, or one can be provided.
    While what we work on/cover will aid your auditions, these sessions are about the craft of acting for screen as opposed to audition technique/prep. Maybe you’d like to refine your screen acting skills, or learn the fundamentals that may differ from stage acting. Maybe you have a day on set coming up and want to find out what to expect, or practice the scene/s you’ll be doing. If you have something specific in mind, let me know - otherwise we’ll do a general scene study session!

  • All things audition. We’ll go over confidence boosting techniques, talk through and work on any anxieties/worries, workshop the scene and get it to a place where you feel excited to show off your talents, instead of nervous to prove yourself!

  • The service I’ve been offering the longest and first got me chatting to actors and sharing industry advice!
    I will:
    -Take a look at all the footage you have/may want to include

    -Share my thoughts regarding what parts of what scenes should be included and why (having a new outside perspective on your work can bring new life to a reel!)

    -Edit together a reel (3 mins max as industry standard) including a title card and outro, and make any tweaks you want to see

    -Provide the added option of putting together a shortened twitter version (perfect for pinning to your page, or taking part in #ShowreelShareDay)

    For standard acting showreels the cost is 35. If you have a lot of footage that you’d like me to review and choose, or if you’d like a bespoke sizzle reel or something that is more time consuming we can discuss a rate that reflects that!
