ABOUT

Drama Coach
Mechelle Anderson

I have been teaching Drama for over 20 years, following an earlier career working behind the scenes in Sydney’s Entertainment Industry. I am a fully qualified Drama Teacher, holding a Bachelor of Arts (Theatre)/Bachelor of Education (UNSW) and a Master of Performance and Theatre (UNE).
Since moving to the Northern Rivers, I have been teaching locally as a Secondary Drama teacher full time while also staying active in the community theatre scene. Over this time, I’ve performed in a range of plays and musicals, collaborated with other creatives in the region, and was honoured to receive the ​Gold Palm Theatre Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical.
My goal is to make professional acting training affordable and inspiring, helping others to discover the joy of performance—whether they’re rekindling a passion for acting, developing their skills, or seeking personal growth and new experiences.

"My approach to teaching is grounded in both professional experience and a passion for performance. Whether a role calls for bold character work or nuanced dramatic realism, our courses are designed to support your growth, confidence, and creativity."
