Script Consultancy

As well as acting & voiceover, I offer research, writing & script consultancy services. I regularly help clients with scripts (theatre/film/TV/voiceover), books (fiction & non-fiction) & copy by proof-reading, taking notes and offering feedback & suggestions. This can be done in person at a reading, over the phone/on Zoom or simply by email/Google Docs.

I provide a sense check, help to spot inconsistencies or holes and ask you the questions you may not have thought to ask yourself. My aim is to get your dialogue as good, and your story as compelling as they can possibly be, without influencing your voice or style of writing. I also give feedback on rough cuts / edits of work-in-progress films - it can be really helpful to get a fresh pair of eyes on the footage in the edit!

For a no-obligation quote, or to chat further, please contact me with a little information about your project and I’ll be happy to help.
