the agony actor
Working Actor
fairly recent graduate
“Christina goes over and above when it comes to giving advice and support! She’s always been there to listen and guide me towards achieving my goals, coming up with solutions and plans along the way. It’s so refreshing to know The Agony Actor is there to call upon with worries- big or small!”
Disabled Actor
University Student
“Having been lucky enough to be mentored by Christina for the last couple of years, she has made me the performer and the person I am today. She has brought confidence out in me that I didn’t even know was there, and truly at times knows me better than myself. She has seen me through my best and my worst, laughed and cried with me and there is no one who’s guidance I trust more. As a disabled performer I am trying to fight battles that most people don’t even know are there to be fought and she has been by my side every step of the way. I’m the person I am today- stronger than I ever thought I could be, and more confident than I ever knew how to be- because of Christina.”

training at Diploma level & auditioning
“I can not recommend this vital service enough! In the tougher times of this rollercoaster industry, Christina is the perfect agony aunt to help you refocus and refresh! It was so relieving to know that I had somewhere to turn when I felt low, lacked motivation and didn’t quite know which step to take next. Thanks to this amazing lady I was able to walk into what seemed like a challenging audition with an open mind and open heart! Every actor deserves to have an opportunity like this!”

Auditioning for drama schools
Christina helped me last minute with 2 monologues I had prepared for a prestigious drama school recall. Her warm and friendly nature immediately put me at ease. Together we explored technique, physicality and delivery. After digging deeper into the text and questioning it, Christina allowed me to feel confident in my choices within both contrasting pieces. After just 2 sessions (due to lack of time) I went into the audition with confidence and understanding; I truly felt ready for anything. Without Christina’s help, I truly believe I wouldn’t have had the successful result from my dream drama school.
