Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Scotland looks like
Scotland has a strong screen industry anchored in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with BBC Scotland and an expanding streaming-drama pipeline. The country uses the PVG Scheme instead of the DBS used in England and Wales.
Coaching for young Scotland 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 Scotland minors hold a current Protecting Vulnerable Groups (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 Scotland-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 Scotland. Accent work is available when the role demands it.
