About Veronica
Hello, and nice to meet you. My name is Verônica Sarno.
I am an award-winning classical acting specialist with over 16 years of experience across the UK, Brazil, and Europe. In addition to my work as an actor, I am also a theatre director, acting coach, and mentor. I have taught in drama schools and performing arts colleges, and led workshops and masterclasses for theatre companies internationally, across both stage and screen.
My training includes Drama Centre London, where I graduated with distinction from the MA in Classical Acting, as well as the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute in Russia and Escola Superior de Artes Célia Helena, one of Brazil’s leading conservatoires for actor training. I also hold a Certification in Education from Canterbury Christ Church University.
I believe that genuine human connection and honest communication are essential to a truthful performance. Actors observe and interpret human behaviour and relationships, which requires empathy, vulnerability, and imagination. The ability to step into a character’s shoes, understand their perspective, and bring your own unique essence is what allows a performance to feel genuine and alive.
Throughout my career, I have supported performers in securing representation, professional roles in film and theatre, and progression within the creative industries, as well as guiding students and emerging artists to be accepted into drama schools and performing arts universities in the UK and internationally
METHODOLOGY
I am dedicated to cultivating a positive and supportive environment where actors feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow. My approach is collaborative, practical, and human. My aim is to help the actor build a genuine connection with oneself, the character and the story.
I believe in process, not fixed results. My research into acting began in 2010 and continues to evolve. While I approach acting from multiple perspectives, my foundation is rooted in the Stanislavski System which was informed by psychology and a near-scientific approach to acting — recognising the importance of curiosity, investigation, and continuous discovery in the craft.
The session begins with text analysis and research. This detailed exploration of the script is combined with practical exploration and experimentation, allowing the work to remain alive, organic, and responsive.
My work includes:
- Scene study
- Audition and Role preparation
- Drama school and conservatoire applications
- One-to-one coaching
- Career mentoring for actors and creatives
Above all, I care about people. I value relationships, connection, and the trust, time, and honesty that each actor brings to the work.

The work begins with a free 45-minute online assessment session. This first meeting is relaxed and conversational — an opportunity for us to get to know each other. During this session, I will ask about your background, goals, challenges, and what you would like to achieve. You are also very welcome to ask any questions you may have. It’s important that you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about the process.
From there, I design a personalised plan tailored to your needs. Your journey is individual, and your sessions will reflect that.
SESSION STRUCTURE
The sessions usually last one hour, with the option to extend depending on your needs.
Based on your objectives, we can establish a session frequency that aligns with your timeline. If you are looking for a more developmental approach, I typically recommend one session per week. This allows you the space to reflect, assimilate, and apply what we explore in the sessions, and to return with real-life experiences and questions — so we can continue developing your skills in a meaningful and sustainable way.
WHERE THE WORK TAKES PLACE
• Online — ideal for flexibility and international clients
• In person — at your office or in a central London studio (NOT AVAILABLE AT PRESENT)

Veronica is my go-to coach/tutor when I have a casting or when I want to refine my craft. She is one of the best tutors who can really show you how to break down a script and really help you see the character. She is so insightful, warm, patient and caring - You really feel like she is there for you. I would recommend her to actors of all levels.
Veronica is the best acting teacher I have ever had, and I have studied at the William Esper Studio and the Atlantic Acting School with some of the most popular teachers in New York City. What makes her stand out is her enthusiasm and her genuine interest in helping her students become better actors. Anytime I mentioned something I was struggling with in a scene, Veronica would have something new for me to try in the very next class! You will not find a teacher more invested in your success. She teaches the Stanislavski method in a way that is easy to understand, and she is not dogmatic in the way that some other teachers are-if a technique is not working for you she will not force you to use it. Taking classes with Veronica has made me feel so much more confident in my acting ability. Acting doesn’t feel like such an unexplainable mystery to me anymore.
I have done a classical acting workshop with Veronica as well as 1:1 coaching sessions and can highly recommend her as a top professional.
Veronica is a wonderful teacher. She has a profound understanding of her subject which she teaches with enthusiasm, wisdom and much joy. I enjoy her classes and have benefitted greatly. Thank you.
Veronica is amazing - always so positive, so attentive and adapts classes to where I’m comfortable. She encourages and celebrate ms when I do well, and has a playful energy that helps me relax and get the best out of my voice
Veronica was great. She gave me great advice and guidance, putting my nerves at ease. As a result, my presentation was much better and I killed it on the day. Would definitely recommend her
Veronica is an amazing teacher that guides an actor preparation for a role in a very holistic way: by facilitating breath and voice technique, working on script analyses, and the delivery of those lines.
I am very wary of acting teachers and their methods but I was pleased to find Veronica to be very thorough, specific and knowledgeable in all aspects of acting methods. Apart from the fact that she has trained in teaching acting, she is also very patient, a great listener and communicator. I recommend her classes, online and in person. She takes into consideration your ideas, opinions and views. She has a vast knowledge and love of theatre. Her exercises are exciting and I always look forward to the next class. Great for before attending drama school, after drama school or if you are curious about acting or theatre in general.
Verônica is an amazing acting teacher! I have worked with her for over two years now, and she is incredibly dedicated to all her students. Verônica has helped me understand the importance of breaking down a scene and script, as well as creating detailed character work. The Scene Study classes are very well though out and I love how they're mix between the much needed analyzing and practical work of breaking down scenes and monologues. Besides the scene work, Verônica has also helped me find and work on my tools as an actor in such a comfortable environment, where it's easy to let yourself be vulnerable and to open your mind. She is great at seeing what each student needs help with and is always there if you need support or have any questions!
Go for it! She explains it in a crystal clear way, making you gain a valuable body, voice and breath awareness, which you can apply on your daily life. It's also important to highlight Veronica's engagement on making you understand each detail of what is explained. I highly recommend.
Veronica is amazing!
I did 10 classes with her, to help me with my breathing problem.
Not only she works with breathing exercises, but as well she goes to the roots of the issue.
Vocal exercises, phonoaudiology exercises with some yoga poses twist, helped me to improve my breathing, and with a better breathing, it improved my lifestyle immensely.
Thank you Veronica!Veronica is one of the GOAT's in london acting teaching!! I started going to her in person scene study classes which helped me maintain my craft whilst also working on pieces I had for auditions which thanks to Veronica I was able to book. Recently I have been attending her weekly online group class which has been absolutely invaluable to keep my skills sharp over the quarantine.
Highly Reccomended!View more recommendations
