About Me
My name is Mimi, and I’m a performer, writer, and creative coach based in London. I founded my coaching studio in 2018 after working closely with fellow actors in New York City and advising students through Broadway Artists Alliance, one of the leading independent musical theatre and acting training programs in the United States.
In 2022, I moved to London to complete my MFA in Professional Acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). Since graduating, I’ve continued working internationally as an actor, voice artist, writer, and theatre-maker across the UK and US. Alongside my own creative work, coaching has remained a central part of my practice.
My approach is rooted in the belief that artists have nothing to prove, only to share. Whether preparing for an audition or developing new work, I help clients cultivate curiosity, connection to the material, and a strong personal point of view so that their work feels specific, grounded, and alive.
I specialize in audition technique, repertoire building, acting through song, monologues, and scene study. I’m also deeply passionate about helping students and families navigate the college and drama school audition process in both the US and UK, as well as guiding artists applying for postgraduate training programs.
In recent years, my coaching has expanded to include working with actors, writers, and other artists on the creative and logistical process of bringing their own work into the world. I regularly consult with independent artists on developing projects, shaping ideas, and identifying practical pathways for making and sharing their work.

My Coaching Specialties
Audition & Callback Coaching
Targeted coaching for performers preparing for specific auditions or callbacks. I work with clients of all ages across theatre, film, and television — whether you’re preparing for a high school production, a conservatory or professional theatre audition, a West End or Broadway opportunity, or a major studio project. Sessions can be booked as one-off coaching or as part of multi-session preparation packages depending on your needs.
Repertoire Building - Musical Theater Audition Books & Monologues
Building the right material is one of the most important foundations for a performer. I help actors curate and refine musical theatre audition books and monologue repertoire that reflects their strengths, range, and casting potential. Packages are available for everything from refreshing a few pieces to building a complete audition book from the ground up.
Creative Project & Artist Development Consulting
I also work with actors, writers, and multidisciplinary artists on developing and advancing their own creative work. This can include shaping solo shows or scripts in development, identifying pathways for independent projects, navigating funding opportunities, and building strategies for networking and sharing your work with the industry.
College Audition Coaching
Comprehensive preparation for undergraduate theatre and musical theatre auditions in the US (and UK). I support students through every stage of the process, including school selection strategy, writing coaching for essays and supplements, repertoire guidance, audition preparation, and interview coaching. My goal is to help students present their most authentic, confident work while navigating a complex process with clarity.
MFA Audition Coaching
Comprehensive preparation for actors applying to MFA programs and postgraduate drama training in the US and UK. I support applicants through every stage of the process, including monologue selection, writing coaching for personal statements, audition preparation, and interview coaching. My goal is to help artists clarify their creative voice and present work that reflects both their current craft and their readiness for advanced training.
Drama School Audition Coaching
Focused preparation for auditions at UK drama schools and conservatories. I support applicants through the full process, including monologue selection, writing support for application materials, audition preparation, and interview coaching. My goal is to help actors approach auditions with confidence while presenting work that demonstrates their potential for rigorous professional training.
What am I doing to make training more accessible?
Open Communication
Acting and Musical Theatre training has, for too long, been accessible only to those with extensive resources. I firmly believe it is my responsibility as an educator to offer affordable opportunities and transparent communication about my rates and capabilities.
I want to work with you, and that means I want to hear from you. If you take a look at my offerings and are excited about the possibilities, but are not in a financial place to book, I sincerely encourage you to reach out to me. Not only do I want to help my students hone their skills as successful audition-ers and actors, but I also want to help you be strong advocates for your own needs.
My studio's doors (and my email inbox) are always open. Let's find a way to get you what you need.
