About me

As an Actor

In 2019, I graduated from ArtsEd where I trained for three years on the BA Acting course. Since then, my screen credits have included Saltburn (Amazon MGM Studios, Lucky Chap), Wuthering Heights (Warner Bros), Doctor Who (BBC), The Split (BBC), The Shepherd (Disney+), The Good Ship Murder (Channel 5), Car Park (BoyBirdy Films), To Our Sal (SceneSparks), and Geek Girl (Netflix).

As a Coach

Amongst the acting credits, I’ve spent the past 10 years teaching TV and film technique at institutions including ArtsEd and The Arts Place. For the last two and a half years I have also coached with The Actors Umbrella. This summer, I joined Not Thought Through Productions shooting their pilot Not Fully Developed as the lead actor’s on set Acting Coach.

Ultimately

I love what I do. I love to act, and I love to coach actors. It naturally goes hand in hand. I really love the thrill of discovering a scene together. Working it out. Unpicking it. In doing this, I will challenge you again and again to be braver and bolder, and therefore help you feel more confident and instinctive in your choices. There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing you have left our session feeling energised, empowered, and genuinely excited about doing the thing we love to do - because truly, I want you to succeed in that self tape, that audition, that job, just as much as you do.

Take their word for it

“Millie brings thoughtful ideas to the table and collaborates in a way that feels both professional and refreshing. She creates a space to explore different approaches, discover fresh perspectives and unlock new possibilities, ultimately helping you bring a scene to life in ways you might not have found on your own.

Acting is never meant to be a solo pursuit. Having the opportunity to talk through character ideas, explore a character’s journey and break down a scene together (much as you would with a director) sparks a kind of creativity that can sometimes get lost when preparing for a job alone.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Millie to any actor looking to explore their work more deeply, build confidence in their choices and bring a fresh perspective to their audition or job!”

Jemma Carlton The Buccaneers, A Thousand Blows, Maxine, Lockerbie

"Millie is such an exciting and interesting actor (I had the privilege of working with her on a job), so to have an hour of her undivided attention, focused entirely on your work, is invaluable.

She guided my choices, tailored the session to my needs and offered insights and perspectives that I wouldn’t have arrived at on my own. I came away with a much clearer sense of direction and some really exciting new ideas to explore.

On top of that, Millie is incredibly personable, kind and articulate. She creates an environment where you feel comfortable taking risks, exploring ideas and pushing yourself creatively.

I came away feeling motivated, inspired and genuinely buzzing.

Thank you, Millie!"

Billy Postlethwaite Silo, Chernobyl, The Winter King, 1917

“Millie has a true ability in seeing people which makes her an excellent coach. She is kind to the core but isn’t afraid of being honest, and it’s that rare combination that makes you feel completely comfortable exploring different avenues within scenes and discovering characters.”

Leo Woodall One Day, Nuremberg, Tuner, Bridget Jones Mad About The Boy, White Lotus

Millie has made auditions feel like such a safe space for me to explore. She is patient, encouraging and brings a thoughtfulness and attention to detail that has undoubtedly elevated my performances. She has a wonderful ability to delve into a scene, uncovering the relationships between characters, finding interesting choices and ultimately helping you ground your work in truth and flow. A brilliant person to have in your acting toolbox, Millie is always eager to help you get the very best out of yourself. Just a phone call away, she consistently makes room in her diary to offer support, and you can genuinely feel how much she wants you to succeed. I cannot thank her enough for the support and encouragement she has given me. If you ever feel stuck with a scene or audition, I highly recommend reaching out to Millie!

Aleah Aberdeen Saltburn, Everybody Want to F*ck Me, Granchester, Silo

“When I work with Millie I know that I’m going to end the session really confident with the tape I’ve sent of! It feels very collaborative, she builds off of my ideas and pushes me to commit to them more. She is so clear and when she gives a note I think ‘yes! Oh I can’t wait to try that!’ - it always ends up being the right call. I will be working with Millie for a very long time, she’s a diamond”

Lizzie Back Call The Midwife Sisters in Arms, Professor T

“Millie has an incredible way of turning audition prep into a collaborative process. She offers such unique and nuanced options/choices to play with, you end up finding a version of the scene you may not have found otherwise. I highly recommend Millie for her brilliant work ethic and the fun, relaxed environment she creates to allow you to find your best work.”

Sam Buchanan My Fault: London, Back to Black, The Power, The Wayfinders, Such Brave Girls

My session with Millie was so useful, she can understand and dissect a scene in seconds and helped me block out the beats and moments in the scene to create journey and dynamics. It was collaborative, relaxed and fun.

It felt as if I was in a rehearsal room with Millie, helping encourage play and freedom to self tapes.

Megan Placito The Salt Path, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, The Psychic

Working with Millie is like having an Actor and Director in one person. Being able to having an open scene partner who can also give pointers and present new ideas is a huge help. Her approach is organic and feels more like a discovery session than anything about getting it right. Millie is a fantastic coach and collaborator who provides the fresh outlook every creative needs to give their best work.

Harry Giubileo Witness for The Prosecution, The Good Ship Murder

Millie is a fantastic actress with a real wealth of knowledge when it comes to acting, character and getting the very best out of a performance.

She helped me tremendously on Not Fully Developed, both in the preparation beforehand and by joining me on set for a handful of days while I was simultaneously directing and acting in the project.

What Millie does so brilliantly is understand exactly what to say, when to say it and how to say it. She has an instinct for knowing what you’re looking for from a performance and finding the right way to prompt that response out of you. She pushes you when you need pushing, gives you confidence when you need it, and always does it in a way that feels warm, collaborative and supportive.

She is never overbearing and never oversteps the mark. On set, she fitted in beautifully with the wider cast and crew and understood exactly when to offer something and when to simply let things play out. That is an incredibly valuable quality, particularly when you’re directing and acting at the same time and need somebody beside you whose judgement you trust completely.

I trust Millie implicitly. Whether you are preparing for a self-tape, developing a character, prepping for a role, or looking for someone you can trust to support you on set, I can’t recommend Millie enough. She really wants you to succeed, and she will do anything she can to help make that happen. If you want someone who will give you confidence, support you and push you that extra step to get the very best out of your performance, she’s the one!
