ABOUT ME

​

The guiding lights in my life have always been music and languages, whether studying French and Russian at Exeter university, working as a CIMA Financial Analyst for an international company, teaching English in Milan, performing operas around the world, studying for a PGCE at Canterbury Christchurch in MFL or teaching French and Spanish in a secondary school in Kent.  I now enjoy combining a performing career with vocal and language tuition. Lots of information is available on this website, but please contact me for any further details you require.

"James McOran-Campbell’s honeyed tones make Falke rather lush... McOran-Campbell inhabits the world of the piece throughout with joyful intensity"  Charlotte Valori, Theatrecat.com. August 2019

​

"...His wily friend Falke – James McOran-Campbell in Batman T-shirt – the nanny Adele, got up as Rhianna (Abigail Kelly), and Rosalinde (Claire Wild), the cool, long-suffering wife, were assured and witty, both musically and dramatically"  Fiona Maddocks, Guardian, 10th Aug 2019

​

"...and James McOran-Campbell, whose effortless stage presence and dramatic ability was wonderfully equalled vocally. McOran-Campbell demonstrated astonishing range, dramatically and vocally, with an absolutely charming, all-controlling God, a menacing and malevolent Leftovers and an utterly resplendent Poor Thing with wonderfully camp vocal exhibitions while encased in a shining skin-tight outfit."   Edward Lewis, Classicalsource.com
