About James

Hello! I'm James, a graduate from the BA Acting class of 2021 at Rose Bruford College. I am a professional stage and screen actor and voiceover artist based in both Hertfordshire and London. I have sat on the audition panels for two top UK two drama schools for both their BA Acting & MA Acting auditions.

Following graduation, I was offered representation and signed with a professional acting and voiceover agency. I have since performed in the ROYAL BALLET, lent my voice to brands such as PERSIL, twice presented a music festival, and appeared in various short films, music videos, plays and recently a TV PILOT.

Recent credits:
- PLAY ON (PERSIL/OMO) 2024 Voice Over
- VANILLA 2023 Stage
- RUFEST - THE SUMMER OF LOVE 2023 Music Festival
- ARE WE THERE YET? 2023 TV Pilot (Directed by Ian Puleston-Davies)

Alongside my Acting and VoiceOver work I'm currently immersed in preproduction; preparing to produce, direct and act in a self-written surrealist short film, which I plan to enter and promote to international film festivals. I am also working towards publishing a debut poetry collection and I have a myriad of other exciting creative projects also in the pipeline.

I offer tailored insights to help actors secure coveted spots. Monologue selection, casting bracket guidance, information on the nuances between different drama schools and monologue workshopping are at the cornerstones of what I offer.
