My Story
Hi, my name is Conor. I was born in Slane, Co. Meath, Ireland, but I am currently living in London, and working as a Student Wellbeing Advisor, and Vocal Massage Therapist at The Urdang Academy.
My first experience of being on stage was at the age of 11 when I played Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls. It was on that stage, in an oversized suit and wearing far too much makeup, that I found my love for theatre. I continued to develop my craft for the next 10 years, but as I came to the end of my degree I felt there was something else calling me.
I explored many careers after university. I worked as an actor, a director, a theatre technician and other odd jobs to make rent. I loved the work I did, but I felt that I had more to give. This is when I discovered coaching. I had always loved working with people, and bringing the best out in them, and now I had a clear avenue to explore this passion in my life. I decided to dedicate my time to exploring all that was possible through coaching with my PG Cert in Performance Coaching for Performing Artists with Voice Workshop. This gave me a vast community of skilled individuals, and a wealth of knowledge to pull from. I wanted to make sure that I had all the knowledge and skill necessary to help all those around me.
There is nothing more satisfying than working with a student and seeing them grow and develop into the performer they want to be! I want to give you all the knowledge, confidence, and motivation that you need to be able to build the life you want to lead. I am constantly learning, and developing myself, and I would love to share all the knowledge I have gained with you.
If you would like to share your journey with me, even if only for a brief moment, then I’m here to listen.
