The Jack Ryder Sessions offer personalised coaching, available worldwide, designed to help actors deliver their best self-tapes and auditions. Whether you’re preparing for a drama school submission, a professional casting call, or a last-minute audition, my mission is to guide you every step of the way.

Together, we focus on what really matters: refining your performance, boosting your confidence on camera, and making sure every self-tape and audition showcases your strengths.

This isn’t just another acting class — it’s an intimate, focused experience that feels more like a relaxed conversation around the kitchen table. Here, you’ll find a safe space to experiment, grow, and discover the approach that brings out your best performance, whether in front of the camera or on stage.

“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”
