Built by an actor who's been in the room
J trained at LAMDA and the National Youth Theatre. When Covid closed the theatres, she moved back up north and started an Instagram page called Audition Access to help one actor prepare for their auditions.
That actor told a friend. Then another. Audition Access grew from one-to-one sessions into group classes, online courses, this monthly community and live in-person events.

- Royal Court
- Shakespeare North Playhouse
- LAMDA
- Diorama Studios
Straight from our actors
“I wish I would have found J sooner.”Emma SymmondsRADA BA
Emma trained with J through ongoing VIP and one-to-one sessions.
“Coming from Australia, auditioning for drama schools in the UK presented itself as quite a daunting task to undertake but J was in my corner cheering the entire time. What can be quite an isolating process… was made a whole lot less lonely having the Audition Access community there for questions, support, the lot.”
“I was feeling very lost because I had no idea how to go about auditioning and I didn't have much confidence… After working with J for 6 months or so, I went from having no idea where to even begin to 6 recalls in total with a foundation offer and a 3 year BA offer!”
“I completed the replays of the final round bootcamp before going into my Central auditions and they absolutely changed my mindset and allowed me to turn up as my best self for those auditions! You're an absolute life changer.”
“It was my first year applying, and I was feeling lost and unsure about how to approach my auditions, but J comforted me through her warmth, kindness and encouragement… I have been lucky enough to have received 5 recalls and two offers for a Foundation and BA degree at my dream drama schools.”
“I'm pretty sure that I've now had a first round response from every drama school I applied to… I got recalls from:”
- Guildhall
- Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
- Royal Welsh
- Oxford School of Drama
- ArtsEd
- East 15
- GSA
- Leeds Conservatoire
- Bristol School of Acting
- NYT Rep Company
- LAMDA (CertHE)
- Italia Conti (CertHE)
“Since September, working with J has genuinely been a lifeline throughout the audition process. The monthly VIP sessions helped me grow so much in confidence with my pieces, and her emphasis on maintaining a positive mindset completely transformed my mentality during applications.”
“J is an absolute Godsend. She's by far the best acting coach I've worked with… Earlier this year, I was struggling to get past even the first rounds of drama school auditions. After working with J, I've gotten a recall from ArtsEd…”
“I have absolutely loved working with J over the last year. The focus on confidence and mindset has been especially important to me. All the classes have been amazing and I have learnt so so much and I have really developed as an actor!”
“I learnt more from her in just a few short months than I ever did before. She focuses a lot on self-worth and belief which makes you feel extremely confident going into auditions… I have recently found out that I have got into a 3 year BA Course and I couldn't be happier.”
“Drama school auditions can feel very lonely and intimidating but J's resources gave me tools to calm my nerves and feel confident in my audition pieces. I would definitely recommend!”
“She has elevated my confidence, cheered me on from the sidelines while I was attending long recalls alongside Uni finals, and she always found a way to challenge me and push me that bit further!”
“So amazing to be able to access all these resources but in my own time. Even though I work long hours I can still feel supported and utilise the time I have.”
“It was everything you don't get taught but really need to be taught, and I kind of feel excited about auditioning now rather than dreading the process.”
“I'm loving the community so much and I watched the OSD panellist Q+A and it was so helpful and I took down so many notes and can't wait to watch and listen to more!”
“Audition Access has been amazing. Thank you so much for making this platform; the holistic approach with it is just brilliant.”
“I just wanted to say thank you for helping me grow the past couple of years. I wouldn't be walking in with so much self confidence without your support!”
