I can confidently say I owe a lot of my career to Natalie Gavin we started working together when I was only 13, I was a shy, quietly mumbling boy who backed away from the idea of stepping out your comfort zone. Natalie broke down scripts and introduced me to different techniques of getting to where I needed to be and I’ve taken these tools with me through out my career. Natalie is one the most hard working, passionate and emotionally intelligent actors in the business, her due diligence and respect for the craft is something that has always inspired me. Even now at 24 I still chose to work with Natalie when prepping for new work as the results I have with her are unmatched to anyone else.

I first worked with Natalie when I was a 15 year old boy, she would give help with my self tapes, being an actress her self gave her the understanding on how to work with new actors.

This relationship was put to good use when Natalie directed me on a feature film “Bobby” written & directed by herself.

Natalie Gavin is a uber talented northern creative with grave enthusiasm, knowledge & respect for the Industry. She is very lovely & valuable to anyone seeking advice, tips or tricks.

In this industry, talent is only part of the journey… it’s the belief, time, and guidance from the right people that truly make the difference. I was lucky enough to find all of that in Nat.

She didn’t just support me, but she invested in me, challenged me, and believed in my potential, even when I doubted myself (which was more times than I care to admit).

Nat is a pioneer when it comes to nurturing special talent, especially those coming out of Bradford. She’s an unsung hero in this game, and I’m forever thankful to have had her in my corner.

Not only a one of a kind human being, but a powerful force in this chaotic industry as well.
I wouldn’t be here without you, Nat. Thank you, always xxx

I admired Nat’s work before we ever met. She has that rare honesty and emotional depth on screen that pulls you straight in.

When we finally got to work together, what started as a professional collaboration quickly turned into one of the most genuine friendships I’ve found in this industry.

What makes her special both as an actor and coach is the environment she creates. There’s never any pressure, just a space to take risks, feel free and most importantly safe.

She’ll always bring out the best in you with such ease and generosity.

Anyone that gets to tape with Nat or learn from her is incredibly lucky and I’m so excited for her new adventure.

Natalie Gavin is a true master of her craft. Ive had the privilege of working with her for many years. Natalie teaches with empathy, compassion and determination to get you equipped with the skills needed for you to shine. As a constantly working actor in the industry- she knows what she’s doing. From our time together, my confidence has boosted when it comes to analysing text and getting it up on its feet. I’m more aware of so many more factors than before when it comes to character work, and I now know how play a scene that has a strong, dynamic, interesting journey.

Working with Nat has been an absolute game-changer for me. I initially worked with Nat on a project and then came to her for help with self tapes, and the difference has been night and day. She brings such a sharp eye to the work—detailed, intuitive, and always full of smart, creative ideas that elevate the material. Her direction never feels imposed; instead, it unlocks something organic that was already there, helping me bring deeper authenticity to every audition.

Since we started working together, the quality of my self tapes has dramatically improved, and it’s reflected in the kinds of projects I’ve been booking. Her notes are always specific and actionable, and she has an incredible knack for helping me find nuance and truth in a scene—whether it’s a single line or a multi-page monologue.

Ive never had someone who will both challenge and champion you, Natalie is it.
