Adrienne Thomas

Adrienne has a History degree from Oxford University and trained as an actor at the Central School of Speech and Drama (CSSD). She has appeared in a wide variety of modern and classical plays in the West End and throughout the UK, including Stephen Daldry’s Search and Destroy at the Royal Court. She also appeared in Charlton Heston’s A Man for All Seasons for US television. She returned to CSSD to study on their postgraduate voice course, and more recently trained as a Linklater designated teacher. She now works mainly at RADA and the British American Drama Academy. She has also taught regularly in the US on a Shakespeare conference and was invited with RADA colleagues as artists-in-residence at Wellesley College, Massachusetts. In addition, she gives private coaching to actors and works with corporate clients. Her great love is working with students to explore the relationship between practical voice work and the use of language in revealing character and emotion.
