One-on-One Acting Coaching London — Development Packs
Private, one-to-one acting coaching with Fay Beck and Martina Avogadri — in-person at BADA’s London studio or online, internationally.
All coaching is grounded in Beck Emotional Access Technique® (BEAT™), the UK’s only registered neuroscience-based acting methodology.
Development packs give you a structured progression, not a series of disconnected sessions. Each pack includes session recordings, and — when working with Fay — a tailored development pathway and curated script selection matched to your specific needs and casting type. Packs are non-expiring and stackable: many clients work through pack after pack as their practice deepens.

What Is a Development Pack?
A single coaching session addresses an immediate need. A development pack builds an actor.
When you book a pack, you are committing to a sustained period of focused work — with a coach who knows your specific habits, blocks, strengths, and trajectory. Every session is informed by the last. Progress compounds. The work goes somewhere.
Packs are available in 5, 10, and 15 sessions. There is no expiry date. Many clients complete one pack and begin another immediately. The work is as long as you choose to make it.
What’s included in every pack
- Full recording of every session — yours to keep and review between sessions
- Consistent work with the same coach throughout
- Sessions tailored entirely to your current needs and goals
Additional inclusions when working with Fay Beck.

One-on-one Coaching Packs FAQ's
What is a coaching development pack?
A coaching development pack is a pre-purchased block of one-to-one acting coaching sessions — available in 5, 10, or 15 sessions — designed for actors who want structured, progressive development rather than occasional standalone sessions. Every session in a pack is recorded and the recordings are yours to keep. When working with Fay Beck, packs also include a tailored actor development pathway and curated script selection matched to your specific casting type and development arc. Packs have no expiry date and are stackable — many clients move directly from one pack to the next as their practice deepens.
What is the difference between a coaching pack and a single session?
A single session is focused on an immediate, specific need — an audition coming up, a self-tape to prepare, or a particular scene or monologue to work on. A development pack is a structured progression over multiple sessions with the same coach, where each session builds on the last. Pack coaching allows the coach to track your specific habits, blocks, and development arc over time, which produces significantly faster and more durable growth than isolated sessions. For actors who want deep, methodological work rather than one-off feedback, a development pack is the more effective choice.

What does Fay Beck include in a coaching pack?
Fay Beck’s coaching packs include a tailored actor development pathway, script curation matched to your specific strengths, weaknesses, and casting type, and a full recording of every session. The development pathway is mapped from an initial assessment and evolves as you progress through the pack. Script selection is done by Fay — you do not need to bring your own material. Packs are non-expiring and stackable: clients who complete a pack often begin a new one immediately as their work deepens.
Where do in-person coaching sessions take place?
In-person coaching sessions take place at Beck Academy of Dramatic Art’s studio in Hackney Wick, London. In-person pricing includes studio hire and professional camera equipment, which is particularly useful for screen acting work and self-tape preparation. Home visit coaching is also available — a call-out fee applies. Online sessions are conducted via Google Meet and are available to clients anywhere in the world.
Is one-on-one coaching suitable for beginners?
Yes — coaching sessions at BADA are open to actors at all levels, from those just beginning their training to working professionals preparing for specific roles or auditions. For beginners, coaching provides a focused, individual introduction to craft and technique without the need to keep pace with a class. For experienced actors, it provides the depth and specificity that group training cannot offer. The first session begins with an assessment of your current level, goals, and areas to develop — so the work is tailored from the outset.
What is BEAT™ and why does it matter for coaching?
BEAT™ — Beck Emotional Access Technique® — is a registered UK acting methodology created by Fay Beck. It is the only acting technique of its kind in the United Kingdom, grounded in contemporary neuroscience and the latest research on how emotion originates in the body and how actors can access emotional truth safely, consistently, and without force. All coaching at BADA is grounded in BEAT™ — whether delivered by Fay Beck or by Martina Avogadri, who is trained in the method. This means actors receive a consistent, methodologically coherent approach rather than session-by-session feedback with no underlying framework.
