As your coach, my goal is to inspire you to believe in yourself. I want to help unlock your potential and your creativity so that you land that role and flourish in your career. And as you go from one juicy role to another, we’ll work on building your self-confidence so that you can handle whatever is thrown at you.

Welcome!
I'm an actor and acting coach based in London. I trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the Conservatoire National Supérieur D'Art Dramatique in Paris. And for over a decade, I have been working on stage, TV and film.
I love coaching because I get to encourage and help actors of all types and ages to explore their creativity and truly believe in themselves and their talent.
"Imagine with all your mind, believe with all your heart and go get it with all your might."
During sessions, we’ll learn and practice at your pace so that you feel confident to create and explore all of your ideas. We’ll play about, expand your range and hone your technique so that you always leave a lasting impression, whether that is for drama school auditions, regular auditions or a selftape.
And for those of you who are feeling a bit stuck or uncertain about your career, I want to help you get clear about who you are, where you want to go and how best to get there. The coach sessions will allow you to move toward your goals and finally become the actor you've always wanted to be!

Coaching is one of the best way to stay accountable and really acccomplish the things you set out to do. We all need guidance from time to time. Plus, that extra boost of confidence and sparkle coaching gives you has a direct impact on the quality of your work, and, most importantly, how you feel about yourself. Acting is challenging and the industry is very tough. So, why battle it alone?
Akuc is an excellent coach to work with. She is incredibly motivated and invested in your journey and success as an actor and as a person. She has helped me take my performance to the next level, honing my self-taping skills and preparing for important auditions. If you want to level up, definitely book a session with Akuc!

Out of the three times we worked together for auditions I've got the part twice. The possibilities, the unblocking and the clarity I received from the sessions gave me the most confidence I've ever had. Akuc's background as a working actor sets her apart because she knows the field, the needs, demands and the preparation necessary and the psychology of the actor too. Her holistic approach nurtures one's talents, mindset and clarity towards clear and define goals. 5* aren't enough to rate this star-making woman. It simply isn't!

I first met Akuc while working on a film together - a kind, very funny soul.. She later travelled all the way to Colchester and detailed what was missing in my self tapes during a selftape recording. She was also able to look at my previous tapes and analyse what was working and what wasn't. She pointed out the small, fine yet imperative details that really help your tapes stand out. All whilst making me laugh.
