About Seamus
My name is Seamus and I’m a working actor, improviser, and experienced acting coach, currently Head of Foundation at a leading UK drama school. I specialise in improvisation, devising, and actor training, helping performers build confidence, creativity, and strong, reliable technique.
Alongside my training work, I run "What’s the Game?! Improv"—Reading’s only regular improv school—where I teach performers to think quickly, trust their instincts, and create bold, engaging work.
My approach combines professional industry insight with practical, high-energy training. I’m particularly skilled at unlocking spontaneity, developing original material, and preparing students for drama school auditions and performance opportunities.
I’ve worked with a wide range of students—from complete beginners to aspiring professionals—and have a strong track record of helping actors grow in confidence, clarity, and stage presence.
If you’re looking for focused, engaging lessons that push your creativity and give you real, usable skills, you’re in the right place.

My lessons focus on building confident, instinctive, and truthful performers. I specialise in improvisation, devising, and actor training, helping you develop strong creative instincts alongside solid technique.
At the core of my teaching is spontaneity—learning to respond in the moment, trust your impulses, and bring real life to your performance. Alongside this, I work on text analysis and character development, giving you clear, practical tools you can apply immediately to scripts and auditions.
I have particular expertise in:
Improvisation (confidence, quick thinking, ensemble skills)
Devising theatre (creating original work from scratch)
Actor training foundations (voice, physicality, presence)
Drama school audition preparation (monologues, interview, recall)
Lessons are highly practical and tailored to you. We’ll work actively in every session—on your feet, making bold choices, and developing your unique voice as a performer.
Whether your goal is to get into drama school, become a stronger actor, or simply build confidence, I’ll help you develop the skills to perform with clarity, freedom, and impact.

I've had the absolute pleasure of being taught improv by Seamus for a one-off class and it was brilliant. He guided us through the exercises and encouraged us in a really free and gentle way. Seamus clearly loves what he does.
Seamus is truly a one-of-a-kind mentor. Meeting and being taught by him unequivocally altered my development as an artist. I’ve been an professional actor for 12 years now in West End productions, multiple number 1 tours, international and televised events and I can trace it all back to the attention and nourishment he gave to me personally.
I regard him in the highest possible regard as a master of so many skills and art forms, but when I think back to working together I’m overwhelmed by the memory of how much joy and excitement and fun that he cultivated in the room. Such an infectious passion that I haven’t seen matched anywhere else. Everything and everyone mattered. He led by example with amazing discipline and a kind heart. Words don’t really do it justice but anyone who’s been in a room with Seamus will know what I’m referring to. I couldn’t recommend him more. - Tomas WolstenholmeSeamus taught me at Read Dance and Theatre College. He gave me the confidence to be vulnerable and explore deep and true emotions to expand my skills as an actor. He teaches awareness of self while recognizing individuals and what each student needs. He is attentive, kind, funny, and relaxes you into working to learn skills which would have otherwise seemed daunting. I will never forget my time learning with Seamus, and the skills I carry with me today.
Top guy, top teacher! Inspirational and ever so slightly crazy. Adored by our students. Highest possible recommendation!
I consider Seamus a role model and mentor, and have for many years. I met him when he was the director of my local theatre's young company. After my time at the young company, I then went on to study at his drama school.
His teaching is sensitive, insightful, exciting and fun. He met me at a time in my life when I needed guidance and I believe he saw that and went out of his way to help me. I am forever grateful to Seamus.Seamus taught me at READ College on the acting course. It was a prep course to get prospective students on a 3-year university course.
Seamus taught me more, helped me more, and inspired me more in his 1 year of teaching me than I got in 3 years of professional drama school.
With Seamus, I connected more with the material, and every concern I had was considered, no matter how small or mundane.
He not only made me a better actor, but through his lessons, I became a better communicator, a better friend to people, and a better person.
I will always recommend Seamus, as he is the most talented and enthusiastic teacher you could ask for.View more recommendations
