About Laura
I am a successful stage&screen actor with over 20 years' professional experience including lead roles in the West End, commercials, and numerous films, including several feature films. I love empowering aspiring actors to develop their unique talents with my experienced, creative and collaborative approach.
I acted in my first film at 17, and worked in acting projects and theatre productions throughout my teens. After completing my degree, I performed in a show at the Edinburgh Fringe and then decided to audition for drama school. I trained at two top drama schools: Arts Educational School London (Foundation year) and Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts (Postgraduate Diploma).
At Mountview I trained with the legendary voice coach, Rick Lipton, who worked on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and other high-level film projects. Once I entered the profession I realised the value of this training and was inspired to become a voice coach for fellow actors who needed specific help with strengthening their voice, learning accents or improving pronunciation and articulation.
Alongside my acting and voice work, I've taught drama to children and young people in schools, leading after school drama clubs in both primary and secondary schools, and as a LAMDA drama teacher. I worked at in a South London secondary school (Ark Academies) with students in years 7-10 and 12, helping them gain the skills and confidence necessary to complete LAMDA exams.
I also have over 15 years experience working 1:2:1 with children with disabilities, speech and language difficulties and developmental conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia and Autism. I warmly welcome children and adults with SEN and believe that acting is a wonderful way to build communication skills and confidence for anyone of any age or ability.
Since drama school I have continued to train and develop professionally, alongside my professional work, completing intensive method acting training in both Strasberg and Meisner technique (16 months).
I am also a budding filmmaker and have worked on many independent short films as a assistant director and production manager. I have recently written, produced and directed my own short film.
I am passionate, above all, in ensuring all those I work with have the skills, knowledge and confidence to shine in their performances.

Laura is an exceptional tutor I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend highly. We’ve collaborated for over a year now and she is an absolute joy to work with.
Her wealth of experience and professionally trained skills positions her perfectly to support students at any stage of their journey. Neurodivergent and otherwise gifted students would especially benefit from her support as her compassion and empathy are second to none. Laura is an asset to the industry and will enrich the experience of anyone she works with.Laura is creative, flexible and full of enthusiasm. I have worked with her on acting projects and she is full of ideas and an excellent collaborator. Would work excellently with children and adults alike. Recommend her as a tutor and to inspire you.
Laura is an exceptionally kind and conscientious person who has a natural instinct to help others. She has supported me in identifying and overcoming learned behaviours that have held me back in the past and I have consequently been able to develop my clarity of thinking and communication with others. I can’t think of anyone I’d recommend more than Laura to develop my skills as an actor.
Laura and I have worked together on several professional projects in theatre, immersive theatre and film, and it has always been a joyful experience.
Laura is a fantastic listener and is a great sounding board for helping you to develop your character and will ask the questions that will guide you to an excellent, rounded performance.
Her direction is concise, thought-provoking and kind. I am neurodivergent, and Laura is always incredibly thoughtful in her communication and adapts it to suit me.
Laura has an excellent understanding of the industry and this is a real asset in helping anyone who's hoping to attend drama school.View more recommendations
