About Us
Hello, my name is Simi Pandhal and i am mummy to two beautiful children, Saira and Sahiba. Both are child superstars! It hasnt always been easy but i have always supported them in whatever their passion lies in. They also love to dance so they are performers through and through.
About Saira
Saira being my eldest (age 11) has always performed since the age of 2 when she started with dance, fast forward to 2018, she had already been dancing and performed on stage for over 4 years and started her LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) journey and did her first exam where she got her first Distinction. She was just 6.
Fast forward to present times, 2023 and Saira has completed 9 LAMDA Exams (Incl Grade 3 Verse and Prose, Shakespeare and currently working towards her Grade 4 Acting), has been in 3 featured roles for feature films and has gained her IMDB status, beein various commercials, music and corporate videos, various campaigns, 100's self tapes, masterclasses, and met with lots of high profule casting directors and managed by one of the UKs top talent agencies. She also has an active and engaging Instagram profile too. Alongside this, she still continues her dance syllabus, ballet associate programs and has been awarded a Scholarship at a prestigious school in Warwickshire.
It hasn't always been easy, but being a qualified mindset and confidence coach, i have worked through times where she may doubted herself , using specific techniques where she always came through positively. Being in this industry makes you tough, resilient, and often thick skinned but they are children and we still have to give them the tools to continue to grow, develop and and continue to self care for their mental wellbeing.
How The Drama Box was born
Through our online presence (namely Instagram and Facebook), we are contacted on a weekly basis by several industry parents asking for advice on how we got to where we are. How to get started onto LAMDA, which agencies to contact, monologue and self tape advice, and we are always more than willing to help. For us, the more we can help others, the more our kids in the industry can develop and thrive. It is competitive out there, but there is always enough for everyone.
With this in mind, it made both Saira and I think about how we can get not only our knowledge out there but also help others to develop and work on thir 'craft' from th comfort of thwir homes, and without it taking up to much time and costing a fortune. This is when The Drama Box was born!
What is The Drama Box
There are so many child stars out there, all at different levels of their career but also who enjoy perfomring arts in so many different ways. These children work so hard (as well as their parents) trying to help them to work towards their dreams and we can be so overwhelmed with the information out there and what is right for their child so we have done the work for you. We bring to you a monthly monologue where your child can work on their technique and get feedback too. We also give you advice, hints and tips from reputable agencies, casting directors and industry experts - these range from self tapes, to which backdrops are best for self tapes to your spotlight profile. Each month, you will get given iinformation and advice right to your doorstep. Alongside, you will be givem hand picked items to build confidence, to keep you motivated and remind your child of how wonderful they are. We see how hard they work on their self tapes, auditions, drama pieces, dance routines - whatever it may be, we are here to keep them going and remind them of the superstar they are. And finally, some self care products to ensure that they have some 'me time' to enjoy.
As a member, you also get to join our online community which is exclusive to members only and offers further discounts, information on castings, workshops and masterclasses and much more. The value you get from your box will be a game changer that you wouldnt want to miss!
