About Me

Hi there! I’m Jay, a UK-based actor, and when I started acting, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. I grew up in a small rural town, the daughter of an engineer and a cleaner, and no idea where to start. Now, I’m a working actor, doing what I love and actually getting paid for it. I’m here to help you do exactly the same – no matter where you’re starting from.

A Simple Approach To Acting

Here at Actor’s Toolkit, rather than believing in one “best” acting technique, I think there is value in all different practices. It is simply a case of discovering which is the one that works for you. Otherwise, I hold the view that there are actually only a few core practices that can take your acting from good to great.
