Meet Our Coaches
Lens On You Performance Coach
👋 Aly
I have been working as a professional actress for over 14 years on stage and screen. I have directed children and adults in theatre and film, here in England, and over in Canada and Italy. My most recent role is the arduous, but exciting task of running a theatre in Kent!
I practice Vipassana meditation and attend the courses on a regular basis. Meditation can be a great asset to a performer, giving them the tools to remain centred, focused and calm.
As a 1:1 performance coach I will guide you towards being comfortable and confident in your own natural abilities. What makes you stand out from the next person is not that you dyed your hair a whacky colour or made sure you remembered every detail about the panel (although helpful!), it's because you were authentic.
Through working with me, I will help you to understand yourself in all your beautiful glory, and develop the confidence to show it, without forcing anything. This is what will make you memorable.

👋 Karina
I've had a 9 year long career as an actress on stage and television. That being said, working in the theatre in any capacity, is my one true love. Nothing beats it! I have been an avid thespian from an extremely young age and have had the privilege of performing in theatres all over the West Midlands.
I have a degree in Acting and Stage Combat and love teaching beginners how to sell a fight through the art of story telling.
Through my experience as a voiceover artist, I've been able to guide students through their pace and articulation within a scene.
My main aim as a coach has always been to facilitate students on their journey of letting go. Enabling them to become authentic performers and confident individuals. Through my own experiences I have learnt that, working in this industry comes with an enormous amount of pressure. Pressure that has the capacity to seize up the body. I teach people to release and relax, sitting comfortably in their centre so that the performance can flow.
