One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Clemmie will be happy to arrange your first Acting lesson.

About Clemmie

I have 15 years experience as a theatre director and dramaturg. My previous work includes for Shakespeare’s Globe, Sonia Friedman Productions, Eleanor Loyd Productions, BBC Radio 4 Drama, in the West End and at theatres across the UK. I have been Associate Director on Olivier-nominated ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ at London County Hall since 2018. I also teach regularly in leading London drama schools.

You can find more information on my previous work and current projects via my website: clemmie reynolds.com

I have been lucky enough to work with many actors from all walks of life with wide-ranging experience; from professional, non-professional, untrained, in-training, children and young people.

I love working with actors to hone skills, develop versatility and - more than anything - to build confidence!

About the lesson

I can work with you on material to help you prepare for professional theatre or screen auditions. I can work with you on your drama school monologue and help you prepare for interviews and multi-stage auditions. We can work on a script you are rehearsing and just want a safe space to work on your character/text away from rehearsals. Or you can bring a text you’ve always wanted
to work on to continue your professional development and hone skills. I am also happy to work on dualogues or scenes if you and your scene partner(s) would like some extra support and an outside eye.

The 60 minutes is yours to use in whatever way you want;
to help you nail your audition, feel confident in rehearsals or on set, or access a space where you can continue to develop as an actor and be the best you can be. I look forward to working and discovering together!

Perfect! Clemmie has a wonderful way of coaching that immediately put me at ease. She is incredibly friendly and encouraging. I felt free to explore and develop my monologues in a safe, stress-free environment. I feel so much more relaxed, confident and stronger after just one session. I will definitely book more sessions :)

Perfect! Clemmie has been helping me prepare a monologue for a self tape for a drama school audition. Her lessons have been so thought provoking and have really challenged me out of my comfort zone. She has an amazing energy that puts you at ease and creates a safe space to explore acting and the challenges that might come up when exploring the character or difficult themes within the speech. I look forward to having more sessions with her!

Clemmie helped me with audition prep for drama schools in 2014, and also co-directed me in a version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. She was fab in enthusiasm, knowledge, and kindness. That year I was offered a place at Mountview on the MA course (and waiting lists and recalls at other schools).

I can’t recommend Clemmie Reynolds highly enough for 1-2-1 audition preparation. Clemmie supported me through a multi-stage audition process for a leading role in a large-scale touring theatre production, which included both self-tape and in-person auditions. Her guidance was invaluable in helping me adapt and refine my performance for each medium.

Together, we worked on multiple scenes, including a particularly demanding scene that required an intense emotional shift - a true ‘snap’ moment. Clemmie helped me shape that arc, while also exploring the lighter, more nuanced scenes to bring out contrasting dimensions of the character. Her approach is rooted in curiosity and a deep understanding of text, always asking the questions that unlock detail and depth in performance.

We’ve also worked together in rep on two Alan Ayckbourn plays and what I love about collaborating with Clemmie is her ability to help you play - to remain open, present, and curious in the work. Her direction creates space to discover a character fresh each time.

Clemmie is an insightful, collaborative, and generous director - the kind of artist who lifts the work and the room. She’s out there working and knows what is required to get you the job. If you're preparing for an audition, especially one that asks a lot of you, she's the perfect person to have in your corner.

I was in a brilliant, difficult new play directed by Clemmie and not only benefited myself from her insight, intuition and analytical intelligence but marvelled at the way she got the best out of the rest of the company. Anyone working on a new or classical text would be lucky to have her as a tutor .

I am a kind, patient and friendly person and my main aim is to make you feel comfortable and confident so you can do your best work! I aim to create a relaxed and low pressure environment where we can play, create and have fun with a text. I have worked with a wide variety of actors in the past, ranging from professional actors in the UK’s top theatres; to training actors in top London Conservatoires; to young actors auditioning for drama schools; to non-professional actors in community plays; to school children working on LAMDA exams. I love working with actors regardless of past experience, training, background, age.

Find out more about Clemmie

1) When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?
I started tutoring English after I finished my BA English degree at Bristol University in 2009- helping students develop skills and confidence at school during GCSE and A Level, ahead of and during university and then lateras a second language.
Alongside tutoring I have worked as a theatre director and dramaturg since 2011 including at Shakespeare’s Globe, in the West End and at leading London drama schools; I have been coaching actors, teaching LAMDA exams, preparing actors for auditions and working with writers since 2015.
2) Which artists or works affect you the most?
Shakespeare is the writer I always come back to for storytelling, theatricality, emotional impact - and the most wonderful challenge for actors!
3) What are the qualities and skill required to succeed in this area?
You need to be patient and resilient. It can take a long time to develop a career in theatre an and the arts in general and you have to be prepared for a lot of rejections and knock-backs as it is a competitive industry. You have to be able to pick yourself back up and try again - again and again! In terms of learning English, you need to have a keen eye for detail, to understand what is it the examiner is looking for, be willing to learn and utilise a clear structure, and keep practicing- especially essays!
4) What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?
Just keep going and don’t give up! Failure is very useful as it’s an opportunity for learning. Do ask for help from others. Do try to share your ups and downs with friends and family. Stay present and try to enjoy the creative journey rather than seeing it as a means to an end.
5) How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?
Working with students of all ages whether I’m teaching them English or coaching them in acting or playwriting is a huge pleasure and a privilege. I love seeing their progress, and what they go on to do next. It’s lovely spending time with people who are eager to learn, keen to improve and thirsty for knowledge - it’s very inspiring and invigorating!
6) What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?
I’m very proud of the projects I’ve worked on in the theatre - such as working at Shakespeare’s Globe, in the West End, as Associate Director of ‘Witness For The Prosecution’ at London County Hall. I’m proud of the achievements of my students over the years too - from getting their desired place at university or drama school, or landing the job they wanted; or that LAMDA grade; or whatever it is - it’s an honour to be a small part of that journey.
7) Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?
Yes! I’m always impressed by my students. It can be daunting to want to learn or develop skills and knowledge at any age and requires bravery to seek out a tutor and start a journey of learning!
8) Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?
I just try to put my students at ease. I try to be very positive and encouraging as I think students of any subject, age or experience do their best work when they are relaxed and feeling confident.
