The Jack Ryder Sessions offer personalised, one-on-one online acting coaching tailored specifically to you. 

Whether you’re just beginning your journey, eager to deepen your industry knowledge, or a seasoned professional preparing for an important audition, my mission is to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore essential disciplines, build your confidence, and provide the encouragement and insight that can often be hard to find.

This isn’t just another how-to class — it’s a refreshing, intimate experience designed to feel like a relaxed conversation around the kitchen table. Here, you’ll find a safe, open space to grow, experiment, and discover your unique voice as an actor.

“Over the years I’ve spent working in the industry, I’ve learned so much—not just about the craft, but about how the business really works. I’ve been lucky to work alongside some incredible people and pick up valuable insights along the way. Wisdom comes with time, and I’ve truly enjoyed seeing how this kind of training can make a real difference. My goal is to create a space where actors feel confident to take risks, stay open to collaboration, develop self-awareness without judgment, and grow as true professionals.” - Jack Ryder
