Acting & Audition Coaching
"Judi Hall was my daughter's acting and vocal coach, and prepared her for a Drama Scholarship audition to Framlington College. She won the only scholarship on offer, in spite of harsh competition. Judi's coaching gave her an extra edge and professionalism that made her stand out. She is able to engage her students in a close friendly relationship, while motivating them to work to the highest standard. Judi also flew to the UK to help her prepare for her succesful University audition in Performance Theatre. Her hard work contributed significantly to my daughter's success and we are very grateful to her."
"Judi is a real blessing. From voice work to character study she's as good as it gets. She teaches from an actor's point of view - her approach is thoroughly practical. Thanks to the work she helped me produce, I'm proud to say I'll be attending a top graduate acting program in the USA.""Applying
to US colleges for acting, I knew that the auditions were
extremely
important, so I turned to Judi Hall for help. Had I
known before
how great an aid she is, I would have been going for
years. I know
it is to her that I owe a large part of my acceptance to the Tisch
School of
the Arts Drama Program of NYU, and I owe her a great deal of
gratitude."
"Our son has really enjoyed working with Judi on acting auditions, and has benefited enormously from her drama coaching. She is demanding, but her wonderful rapport with him, belief in him, and her passion and enthusiasm for drama brought out the best in him. It has made him even more determined to pursue his desire and become an actor. He has now successfully auditioned for a UK Drama School"
" I cannot recommend Judi Hall highly enough. She coached both my daughters with their monologues for entry into two different schools for the performing arts. Her energy, enthusiasm and clear understanding of what was expected prepared them for the auditions. My elder daughter was accepted for the Musical Theatre Program as part of the Dance School of Glasgow. She graduated and is now studying at ALRA. The younger was accepted at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School in London. They certainly could not have done it without her valuable input. In terms of vocal and drama coaching she is quite simply the best!"
"I
studied with Judi Hall for 4 years and she has been an extraordinary
mentor and
teacher. I passed LAMDA acting and speech exams with Distinctions. It
is almost
entirely because of Judi that I was accepted into the TISCH School of
the Arts
Drama program NY university. She helped me audition and I beat 3,000
other young actors competing for 300 places! I would highly
recommend her as a wonderful coach. I am truly indebted to her for
my success."
"The
decision to audition for Drama School was sudden and I needed totally
professional guidance. This is exactly what Judi offered! The first
vital
step was the choice of audition pieces. I was lost! Her knowledge
of her extensive repertoire soon removed that pressure. She guided
words
out of me, creating confidence in the delivery of the monologues, as
well as
the excitement and choices in making a character come to life. I
entered
the audition with the great feeling of being prepared, thanks to the
training
Judi offered me. I am very grateful for the whole-hearted
support Judi offered."

"Auditioning for Drama School is a nerve-wracking experience and I asked Judi to help me prepare. She was invaluable, not only choosing pieces that were right for me, but also breaking down the text, character, pronunciation and all the details that lay within that character. The work that we did made the pieces become second nature, and I was easily able to put myself in the character's situation and feel the words. At the audition I was also able to work-shop the piece, presenting it in different ways. While may sound elementary, before working with Judi I had a couple of auditions, thought I was prepared, but wasn't! Sometimes it takes a professional coach to help you prepare for an audition and Judi really and truly was that person. I can't begin to thank her enough!" - Succesful applicant to UK Drama School - Graduate Scheme.
"I have know Judi since 2006 and have worked on her
Vocal Development course and of course Acting! She knows how to deal
with teenagers and teach them properly. I thank her endlessly
for having the patience, interest and dedication to guide me. People
profit from her first class coaching. Judi teaches you to see her as a
friend while never losing her professionalism, and that is
what makes a difference. She is a wise,intelligent and
humorous woman - the perfect combination that offers a student
an enjoyable time while working, which guarantees a lot of learning and
improvement. I won't forget the countless hours we have spent working
on my monologues. She has a special ability to connect with her
students, give precise instructions and advice that in the end makes
the difference. I will never finish thanking her for being there for me
as a teacher and coach and most importantly as a true
friend." Successful
