Welcome to the home of the theatre coach .

My name is Alan Bradshaw and for over 20 years I have worked as an actor, singer, dancer, choreographer, director, tutor, mentor and coach in the entertainment industry and education.

Here you can find details of the private tuition I offer and The Young Professionals UK (YPUK) Club.

I have worked with young performers at a professional level for over twenty years and additionally now use my knowledge and experience to better the mindsets and wellbeing of young people and adolescents.

Empowering young people to find their voice, whether on stage, in front of a camera or in every day life has never been more important.

MISSION STATEMENT

“To use my knowledge and experience to improve the careers of young performers. To develop their talents and minds for their lives ahead and to empower them to find their voice and place in the industry.”

“Alan is always so supportive and he always finds the time to give advice and answers to our questions.”

Georgia Louskou

“I just wanted to send you a note to say a huge thank you on behalf of both the boys and myself.

The fabulous content you (always) provide combined with your incredible ability to connect with them is just amazing and so clear to see in how much enjoyment they have taking part in your lessons and the excitement they have afterwards to implement what they have learned.

They gained so much but in such a fun way! It’s really inspired them to start looking at things in ways they hadn’t been aware of before.

Thanks so much again. “

Jenni Samuel

“I am just listening to you talk about your work on the meeting recording  – your passion and focus and performer-centred approach is what every child deserves.”

Romila Bahl

“I just wanted to say thank you for The YPUK.  My daughter has been so enthused and engaged – and learned SOOO much.  It’s been absolutely fantastic for her to be surrounded by other like-minded children who all bring such different things to the table. She’s at a turning point but has been reminded how much she LOVES the industry and all that it offers. Opportunities like this are a gift.  THANK YOU for capturing her imagination and giving so much inspiration!

Looking forward to the next one!”

Janine Bennett

“I can’t thank you enough for The YPUK. It has been brilliant for my son. He is very new to all of this. In just three days he has come on leaps and bounds & his confidence has improved beyond all measure. He was petrified, but the positive and informative feedback really left him in a good place to tackle things differently and not to hold back – this is down to the wonderful manner you have with the kids (believe me, as a teacher I am super critical of these things!). 

I have no doubt that your teaching has put him in a much better position moving forward. We would be really interested in working with you again.

Thank you.”

Claire McDougal

“I just wanted to say a huge thankyou for the session this morning. I found it really inspirational and definitely will take on board all your advice. This was the best i’ve had with someone from the industry, you really put everything into perspective. So once again, thankyou!”

Neve

“THANK YOU for The YPUK. My son absolutely loved every minute of his mornings with you and your team. It was the first time for weeks I felt I had got my ‘old’ son back. He was full of energy and enthusiasm and he was just buzzing again. A year of lockdown and a change of school had definitely knocked him down a bit, so to spend time being uplifted and encouraged by like-minded children and wonderful professionals was such a boost. Thank you so much.”

Caroline Lloyd

“What can I say… once again a HUGE thank you to you – you really are amazing and the way you work with the children, it’s just fantastic. I absolutely love how you tell them “be yourself and don’t try to be anyone else”.

Seriously, what you do with the children is another level and just something else. My daughter has grown so much in confidence since having lessons with you. It is just lovely to see how excited she gets before and after all of your sessions and to see all of the children supporting one another like they do, what a fab bunch.”

Lindsey Horton

“The Theatre Coach was the most inspiring coach and my daughter had fun and could just be herself doing what she does best! Loving life!”

Aimee Pomeroy

“I’m quite struck by your passion and authenticity in what you do. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed your course. I could tell she had been pushed and inspired in such a supportive environment. The light you shine for kids’ access to performing arts is inspirational.”

Christine Aston

“Just wanted to say that my daughter’s monologue that she submitted as her self-tape was so much better this time. There really is a marked difference since being taught by you! So thank you for your magic.”

Michelle Scott

“Thanks to you my daughter has another recall! Thank you so much for your support with her self tapes. We are confident she would have never have got to this stage without your help.”

Karen Yacobi

“Alan makes me laugh and I have so much fun with him it doesn’t feel like a lesson! He’s really helping me to better myself and I’m learning new things all the time. Alan is the best.”

Logan Matthews

“Logan loves his 1:1 lessons with Alan, and he’s learnt some great techniques that he takes with him into his performing, auditions and self tapes. Highly recommend Alan – such a lovely, fun guy too.”

Melissa Matthews

“I highly recommend The YPUK for any MT lover. It was great fun, but at the same time challenging and informative. Thank you.”

Simon Bundock

“This is where my son is in his happy place, where he is surrounded with people who love the same things as he does and where he feels like he fits in and can be himself. The YPUK was perfect for him.”

Angie Duffy

“I have to say I thought The YPUK course was one of the best my son has done. It was well thought out, organised and structured. There was enough variety to keep their interest but not too much that they would lose focus. 

The guests were excellent and as a parent we knew who we were getting before signing up. 

My son has done a number of workshops online – they can be tricky with lots of waiting, which then leads to distraction and boredom. This most definitely was not the case this week. 

He has really enjoyed it so thank you.”

Sarah Gale

“I truly believe the work you are doing promotes much needed confidence. You are amazing and I say this sincerely”

Sharon Menezes

“I would like to personally thank you for the amazing 3-day YPUK Performance Course. My daughter had a blast and more importantly, she picked up so many amazing tips, valuable feedback and sound advice. She can’t wait to put everything into practice. She loved all the coaches and thought they were all supportive, helpful and so talented— simply the best role models! Please send them our heartfelt thanks. My daughter has left the course a better performer, thanks to everyone. She will definitely take part again in the future.

Keep inspiring.”
