About Sophia
I’m a casting director, director and acting teacher with over 10 years’ experience across film, television and theatre. I trained at LAMDA and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (BA Acting), and began my career as a professional actor, with credits including BBC’s Shetland, ITV’s Mr Selfridge, and theatre at Southwark Playhouse and Citizens Theatre.
I now work primarily in casting, directing and education, bringing experience from both sides of the casting process. I’ve worked in casting across productions including The Diplomat (Alibi), Six Four (ITV), Payback (ITV), Molly & Mack (CBBC) and Shetland (BBC).
I was Local & Child Casting Director on I Swear (Tempo Productions), where I cast over 400 children. The film went on to win a BAFTA for Best Casting. I have also independently cast short films including Pang (NFTS) and This Desert Will Rust Your Bones (Screen Scotland / Short Circuit).
Alongside my industry work, I teach acting and screen performance at Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. At RCS, I teach on the Acting for Screen programme, deliver casting workshops and sit on the BA Acting audition panel.
This gives me a particularly strong understanding of both performance and casting: what makes an actor stand out in an audition, how to make strong and specific choices, how to approach a self-tape, and what casting professionals are actually looking for.
My coaching is practical, warm and completely tailored to the individual. I work with actors preparing for drama school auditions, professional auditions and self-tapes, as well as people who want to develop their screen acting, build confidence or learn from the beginning.
I also work with people outside the acting profession who want to become more confident with presentations, speeches, interviews or public speaking.
Whether you’re preparing for a drama school audition, an important self-tape, a professional role, or simply want to become more confident performing in front of others, I’ll tailor the work to your experience and what you want to achieve.

A key part of my approach is helping each student feel at ease and develop techniques to manage nerves with confidence. Once that foundation is in place, we can dive into the joy of creative exploration and the freedom that comes with it — ultimately leading to authentic, engaging performances. My focus is on drawing out each actor’s unique strengths with care and attention to detail, ensuring they feel fully prepared to perform in front of an audience. Every session is tailored to the individual, whether you're new to the industry, a working actor looking to stay sharp, or preparing for auditions or drama school entry.

Perfect! Sophia was a brilliant tutor for my daughter. Engaged, interested, conscientious, punctual - just a joy to have around in general! My daughter loved the drama lessons and I sensed the teaching came from a place of real knowledge and experience. Would highly recommend!
Perfect! I utilised Sophia’s expertise for my acting school audition. She was professional, punctual and helped me hugely in a very small period of time by using a lot of different techniques. If she’s not happy with my acting, she responds very swiftly by addressing the issue and provides solutions. She helped me prep for 2x 3-4mins monologues. Guess what? I got the place!
In the end, I decided to do evening acting classes instead as I could not take time out from my current career.
I still use a lot of Sophia’s techniques. And will get in touch for 1-1 lessons in the future, if needed or if I’m struggling.- Mohsin is a very receptive and actively engaged student. He is keen to learn and open to trying different techniques.Sophia's response :

I met Sophia in the MT Audition Prep summer course at RCS. It was an incredible experience and I later found out that Sophia does online courses and immediately sent an email to help me with my monologues for my applications. She is such a brilliant teacher, really allowed me to be myself while still leading me into improvement. I really couldn’t have gone through my school auditions without her help and feedback, she gave me the exact guidance and motivation I needed to achieve my goals. I would definitely recommend working with her to any actors who are looking for some guidance.
I had a lesson with Sophia a couple of months ago in preparation for an audition. The short hour and a half we spent together completely changed both of my monologues for the better, both of which I believed were already good enough to be performed to a panel. She was lovely from the start helping me to calm my nerves with quick and easy warm ups that I still use, each tip she gave made such an impact and understanding in my performance, I would totally recommend!!
Sophia is a wonderful tutor who has the ability to tailor her approach to meet your individual needs with kindness and unwavering support.
Her extensive experience across all facets of the acting industry helps her to assist with any aspect of your craft, which has been so useful to me. Personally, Sophia has been instrumental in my growth this year, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to work on their acting skills.A truly fantastic and rare talent. Sophia is a wonderfully patient and extremely knowledgeable presence in whatever she works on. A multi talented rising star that I am sure we will see much more in the future!
Sophia is great! Only after a few sessions do I already feel so much more confident with my self tapes and I am able to start to relax and enjoy then process with them too. Sophia’s lessons are a safe space and I’m always made to feel so comfortable. Thank you!!
Sophia is a great teacher and explained everything perfectly. In a time where we couldn’t meet up I learned so much via zoom and still felt got so much out of it.
She was patient with me and I enjoyed every lesson we had together.
I highly recommended her!We went to Sophia to help my son with his auditions.
She is a professional. Polite and knows her stuff!
We highly recommend Sophia, she comes with a wealth of knowledge, plenty of experience and has given us sound advice.
What more do you need ..?I am a student currently applying to drama schools I have worked with Sophia in two sessions on monologues for auditions and audition technique. Sophia’s approach creates a safe and unpressured dynamic whist ensuring that the sessions remain productive. Her feedback has been most helpful to me and is clear. Brining her experiences as both an actor and director, Sophia is able to provide a director’s vision and eye for detail as well as give insight into the actor’s process. The sessions are enjoyable are and focused on working towards an excellent standard. Therefore, I would not hesitate to recommend Sophia to any drama school applicant, and I am sure that her help would be highly worthwhile to an actor of any ability who wishes to hone and develop their skills.
