About Chantelle
Hello! Chantelle here. I'm a professionally trained actress and writer. I studied at Drama Centre London graduating with an MA and I have been acting for as long as I can remember (the VHS footage my mum has of me at 9 years old proves so). My past work has been featured on VICE, CREATORS, MASHABLE, DIRECTORS NOTES, SNAPCHAT, DAZED, CANNES LIONS, BOILERROOM and BFI NATIONAL ARCHIVE. I have had my fair share of auditions with huge directors, casting directors and actors. I've also had my fair share of rejection, so I don't sugar coat anything. I am very real with regards to the industry and what to expect. One thing you should know about me is I love to have a laugh, nothing should ever be that serious. Life is better when you laugh and that is exactly what you will get with me... fun and engaging lessons where you feel you can just be yourself. Interestingly, I also have a 1st class degree in Psychology and I love to combine my knowledge of how we view the world and ourselves with my acting and/or teaching methods. It can really set you apart from the bunch and it means you may approach things differently and in a much more memorable way.

The perfect formula for success as an Actor (or what I believe anyway) is… Opportunity + Preparation x Luck = Success! Now, I don't have much say on how lucky you may or may not be, but here is what I can help you with… OPPORTUNITY I don't see opportunity as simply being casting directors or your agent placing juicy roles in your lap, sometimes opportunity is as small as having the resources and access to train. Unfortunately, not everyone does. With this in mind, I specifically offer lessons for young people aged 15-24 yrs currently living in higher poverty boroughs across London. Those who have a passion for acting, want to perfect their craft and may be feeling deterred due to their situation. I do also offer cheaper rates than those on average. The boroughs I cover are: Camden Tower Hamlets Newham Hackney Ealing Hounslow Wandsworth Enfield Haringey Brent Lewisham Barking & Dagenham Lambeth Croydon Southwark PREPARATION Even the most talented people need to nurture and train those actor muscles they've been blessed with! My lessons focus on building confidence as a performer and developing truthful performances and characters. This is so important. Expect lots of improvisation techniques, building characterisation and script analysis with a variety of monologues and scenes from TV/film/plays. I want you to get creative with your work and let go of that fear of trying something new or getting it "wrong". This is actually where the magic lies. I prefer my students to feel relaxed, comfortable to express themselves and under no pressure to be at a certain level. We will continually build upon the previous session so you can apply what you have learnt and actually see how you are developing as time progresses. It also means we will be able to identify areas of weakness and specifically focus on them. Of course each actor is different, depending on their age, experience etc. Therefore I will tailor each session to the individual, but an example 1 hour lesson could be: Understanding your emotions - Discussion (10 mins) - Intro to emotions and how they are conveyed through your body or voice. Warm up (5 mins) - Physical and vocal exercises. Activity 1 (15 mins) - learning how to embody different emotions (e.g. anger, jealousy, anxiety). Activity 2 (20 mins) - Improv through a given scenario. Discussion 2 (10 mins) - Post activity discussion and feedback. I also offer AUDITION PREP. Whether this be for a casting or drama school entry, we will discuss what to expect, how to take redirection and workshop your selected pieces or given scripts so that you feel 10/10 when you walk into that room. If you have made it this far, it means you like what you are reading. Get in touch, I can’t wait to hear from you. Last of all, remember, it’s all possible! :)

I had the fortunate opportunity to work with Chantelle when after a worthwhile wait - her slots get filled up quickly!
She is definitely a master at her talent and drips perfectionism which extends itself into her high expectation from her students.
She can identify and encourage raw talent and uses a facilitation approach to develop that. She brought the best out of my method work in just a few weeks - it wasn't easy! But she has the patience and hunger to help. It's never just a session for her to get through, she really puts her heart into your success.
Highly Recommended!I had the pleasure of hiring Chantelle for a spoken word performance for Channel 4, presented to a live audience. She delivered an outstanding performance that captivated everyone in attendance.
Chantelle's professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every aspect of her work. Her unique style, characterised by powerful storytelling and emotive expression, resonated deeply with our audience, leaving a lasting impression.
I wholeheartedly recommend Chantelle to the Superprof community. Her talent, reliability, and ability to engage and inspire make her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking acting lessons. She brings not only skill but also a passionate commitment to excellence that is truly commendable.Chantelle is an excellent teacher who exhibits a wealth of knowledge and expertise which is very helpful to the student. She is very kind in her approach to teaching and shows lots of patience and understanding. Chantelle is a very positive and driven person who demonstrates lots of skills in her teaching methods and will always try to push you to your highest potential.
I’ve worked with Chantelle for years now and I haven’t met anyone as inspiring as she is, she is truly fantastic to work with - the most beautiful creative soul who not only is an extremely talented actress, she is able to adapt herself to each individual and give them exactly what they need to garner the most dynamic performance.
Chantelle is my go to person when I need to do self tapes and I know I wouldn’t have reached my depth of acting without her. She truly brings out the best in you. Her accents are top tier- she can facilitate them all.
With her advice and continuous support I was able to gain a role in a channel 4 tv show (which I booked) I cannot recommend her highly enough!Chantelle is a exceptional actor, & tutor for understanding acting fundamentals. She has also taught me, & I always leave feeling satisfied & extremely informed like i’ve known how to act all my life. Her methods of instruction and practice are conducive for a successful outcome.
She is very experienced and knowledgeable. I had some classes with her and was able to perfect a few things that I needed help with for an audition in the US. Would highly recommend!
