Tamsin is the regular Radio Drama Tutor/Director at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, and a guest tutor at other Drama schools such as E15, L.A.M.D.A and ALRA.
She coaches Mountview’s student teams for the annual BBC Radio Drama Carleton Hobbs Competition, and has trained successful candidates in 2005 and 2007 (Mountview) and 2006 (E15).
"Tamsin Collison has developed the Radio Technique training at Mountview into a comprehensive, dynamic and well respected component of the Acting Programme. Her exceptionally positive attitude, acute intelligence and passion for the work are acknowledged by colleagues as well as students and her commitment to excellence and highly effective teaching skills have been instrumental in strengthening the quality of the training at Mountview."
(Amir Korangy, Director of Acting Programme, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts)
'A strong committed teacher, who not only knows her subject matter well but has an infectious enthusiasm for Radio that the students thrive on'
(Edward Hicks, Head of Media - East 15 Acting School)
She directs all kinds of performance for microphone, from Shakespeare monologues to full-scale drama productions, and also coaches poetry and prose performance. She can also provide private coaching sessions in these areas, helping actors to work on speeches one-to-one – particularly with a view to preparing voice-over demo recordings or audition pieces.
In summer 2008, she was engaged to act as mentor/tutor/editor to a group of young lyricists writing 'Quest', an original musical for London youth arts group DreamArts, which was premiered at the Cochrane Theatre at the end of August.
