The DMA Coaching Team

Our coaching faculty is a curated collective of working creative professionals, including actors, directors, writers, voice specialists and dialect coaches, all actively working across today's industry.

Every DMA coach brings high-level craft expertise, on-set experience and insight from some of the world's leading productions. All coaches are safeguarding trained, ensuring a safe, professional and well-held environment for every actor.

Actors train across screen, stage and audition technique, alongside specialist coaching in voice, dialect, screenwriting and performance for animation, voiceover and video games, reflecting the full demands of modern casting.

DMA also provides access to a fully qualified therapeutic counselling team, offering confidential emotional wellbeing support for young performers and their families as they navigate a creative career. Craft, career and care sit at the heart of everything we do.

Alongside our resident team, DMA welcomes guest mentors from across the industry, including BAFTA award-winning actors, internationally recognised directors and leading casting directors behind some of the most exciting productions of recent years.

These mentors return because they believe in the work, champion the actors and continue to collaborate with them professionally long after their sessions end.

At DMA, coaching extends far beyond the room. It is delivered within a nurturing, emotionally intelligent environment where both actors and their families feel supported at every stage of the journey.
