Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Cardiff looks like
Cardiff is the Welsh screen capital, with BBC Wales producing long-running drama series (Doctor Who, Casualty) alongside an increasing share of streaming and international co-productions. The city has built a deep local casting pool.
Coaching for young Cardiff 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 Cardiff minors hold a current DBS Enhanced check, issued by the Disclosure and Barring Service. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Cardiff-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 Cardiff. Accent work is available when the role demands it.
