Katie Kirby Acting Coaching

I’m a professional actor and acting coach with 20 years of experience working in theatre, film and television. I played Lady Kent in Netflix’s Vikings: Valhalla, and I’ve spent my career working both on camera and on stage. I offer private, one-on-one online coaching for adult actors, with a particular focus on auditions, self-tapes, scene work and character development. One of the things I especially enjoy is helping an actor when they’ve been given only a few pages of a script and the scene just isn’t lifting off the page. We’ll break down what’s actually happening, find playable choices, explore different ways into the character, and work toward a performance that feels truthful and specific rather than forced. My approach is practical, collaborative and tailored to the individual actor. Sometimes the most useful thing is simply having another experienced actor in the room who can see what you're doing, ask the right questions and help you find a way forward.
