About Jacob

I am a professional actor trained at Actors Centre Australia, with over a decade of experience performing on stage and screen. My career has taken me from leading roles with Bell Shakespeare (Australia’s national touring Shakespeare company) and the Sydney Theatre Company, to originating roles in major productions such as Muriel’s Wedding the Musical. On screen, I have appeared in Oscar-winning films including Hacksaw Ridge, as well as acclaimed television series and projects with directors such as Mel Gibson and Rachel Griffiths.

Alongside my performing career, I have a passion for coaching actors at every stage of their journey. Over the years I have worked with both emerging and established performers, providing guidance on monologues, self-tapes, and audition preparation. My approach is supportive, constructive, and tailored to the individual, giving actors the tools they need to perform with clarity, truth, and confidence. My Teaching Approach Each session is shaped around you — your goals, your material, and your challenges.

A typical lesson lasts around 60 minutes and may include:
-Text and script analysis (classical or contemporary)
-Monologue coaching for drama school auditions
-Self-tape preparation and feedback
-Reading for and coaching on your tapes
-Audition technique, pacing, and confidence-building
-Working on Shakespeare (verse, prose, ownership of language)
-General acting development (presence, truth, and connection)

I believe the best work comes when you feel safe and free to explore. My role is not to direct you into my version of the text, but to guide you towards your unique voice as an actor. I help you break down the script, unlock imagination and emotional connection, and give you practical tools so you can walk into an audition room (or record a self-tape) feeling prepared, dynamic, and authentically yourself.

Who My Lessons Are For
-Students preparing for drama school auditions (UK or international).
-Actors refining self-tapes or monologues for auditions.
-Beginners exploring acting for the first time.
-Professionals looking for a constructive outside eye.

Whether you are aiming for a drama school place, a professional audition, or simply building confidence, my coaching will give you clear, constructive feedback and real industry insight from someone who has worked across theatre, film, and television internationally.

My approach is clear and constructive: practical techniques, actionable feedback, and space to explore your choices. Lessons are usually one hour, but I adjust to the material and your goals. I trained as an actor and have performed internationally in theatre, film, and TV. I specialise in preparing students for drama school auditions and coaching actors on self-tapes, helping them perform with confidence, detail, and presence. Suitable for all ages and levels.

My lessons are always tailored to you:

Already comfortable on camera but need help breaking down a script? We’ll focus on script analysis and traditional acting techniques such as Stanislavski and given circumstances.

Strong at analysis but unsure how to bring yourself into the work? We’ll explore authenticity — how to let you come through. Casting directors today are looking for honesty and individuality, not a mask of “character work.”

Nervous about Shakespeare? I’ll give you the tools to make sense of the verse, unlock the text, and maybe even fall in love with the Bard.

Completely new to acting? We’ll start with simple, practical exercises to build your confidence and help you enjoy the process of performing truthfully.
