About me

My name is Nora Perone – I am a professional performer, coach, and late-diagnosed ADHDer.

Originally from West Virginia (of “Country Roads” fame), I grew up performing and teaching with local theatre groups before being awarded a scholarship to West Virginia University’s conservatory acting program. After graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, I moved across the pond to complete a Master of Arts in Music Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Since then, I have been recognised internationally for my work as a performer, producer, and acting coach, including an endorsement for an Exceptional Talent visa from Arts Council England. I have also gained valuable experience coordinating and facilitating drama-based training programmes for a range of corporate clients, with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I received my ADHD Works coaching certification in March 2025, and am now continuing my training with the ADD Coaching Academy (ADDCA) and logging hours towards ICF and PAAC accreditation. During this period, I am offering a limited number of ‘pay what you can’ spaces to make ADHD coaching more accessible to anyone who would benefit from it. I am particularly interested in working with performers and creatives – if that’s you, and cost is a barrier, please get in touch.

When I’m not coaching, you can usually find me singing showtunes, watching romcoms (and talking about them on my podcast), strolling through a London park, or laughing at my own jokes.

  • “Nora is an excellent acting through song teacher. She is very quick to notice what a performance needs, and has a fantastic toolbox of methods to get the best out of her students. Her approach to breaking down a song is detailed and incredibly helpful.”

    Jen C.
    Acting Coaching

  • “Nora was so supportive with prepping my drama school applications – thanks to her, I received two offers. She made me feel so comfortable, gave me loads of insight into characters and answered all my (incessant) questions. She is so generous with her time and talents!”

    Olivia W.
    Acting Coaching

  • "Nora gave me great encouragement and techniques which enabled me to tell and live the story whilst singing. She has a very kind approach which tailors to the individual, and with a free trial I was able to gauge how I would work with her before putting in the (very reasonably priced!) investment."
