About Me
Hi! My name is Will.
(longer, more boring story available on request!)
Originally from the East Midlands in the United Kingdom, I moved to Santa Maria, California in the summer of 2025 where I operate as a voice and dialect coach, singing teacher, public speaking coach, and actor.
I trained as an actor, receiving my BA in Musical Theatre from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, in 2016. After graduating I performed in a variety of genres of theatre, including:
A UK national tour of a new musical; an independent, devised, actor-musician production of Peter Pan; educational children's theatre in French; and on a cruise ship as a singer.
When COVID-19 hit and pretty much all theatre was put on hiatus, I worked as a data analyst and operations specialist for lululemon's European Customer Service Centre.
Once I decided to reenter the world of theatre and pursue further qualification, I earned a place on the prestigious MFA Voice Studies: Teaching and Coaching course at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (list of notable alumni here). At the time of writing, I am currently finishing my second of two years of the degree.
I've always been great at doing accents, but at RCSSD, I found a passion for accent/dialect coaching and have worked on several productions both as part of the course and in my own professional capacity over the last three years. As a trained actor and singer, I also found I was able to transfer my talents into coaching voice for performance, as well as teaching singing, which I have been fortunate enough to do extensively since arriving in the US.
Thanks for reading my story, and if you’ve made it this far, you might as well book a lesson!
