  • I've had the pleasure of working with Gemma for several years, and I can’t think of anyone better suited to help actors prepare for auditions—whether in the room or via self-tapes. Her expertise, combined with her extensive experience as a casting director, gives her an exceptional understanding of what directors and producers are looking for in an actor. Gemma’s approach is both insightful and supportive, making her an invaluable resource for any performer aiming to deliver their best audition.

  • I absolutely loved my workshops with Gemma! She offers invaluable insight into crafting performances that feel natural rather than performed. Gemma's feedback is always honest and clear, yet delivered with kindness and encouragement. After working with her, I felt uplifted and genuinely improved as an actor. I really appreciated her detailed breakdown of her casting process which helped me understand what is in my control and what isn't. This gave me a clear focus with which I now approach auditions.

  • The workshop with Gemma Hancock was a great experience. From really useful industry information to constructive feedback that I can take to the next level of my acting career. And for the first time in a workshop we worked in pairs for a real feel for how a scene changes when you work with another actor. Overall 10/10.

  • I was lucky enough to learn from Gemma over the course of a few weeks. Her support to me as a young actor was invaluable! Gemma was able to highlight the key skills needed to create a truthful and watchable performance, whilst building my confidence in what can be a daunting profession. I am very grateful for her generosity.
