Education

About me

I am a versatile actress with a trained singing voice, including a strong belt to G5; in addition I am a strong mover with training in Jazz, Ballet and Tap. I have a marketable appearance and a positive work ethic; I would be an asset to any company due to my talent as a performer and my professionalism as an individual.

I enjoy working as part of a company to produce exciting work and I relish the opportunity to take direction as I view the creative process as an excellent opportunity to develop both personally and professionally. I want to achieve my full potential as a professional working performer on stage and on screen by challenging myself and working closely with experienced professionals. Although I trained in Musical Theatre, my training encompassed all genres of performance, including Film, Television and Radio as well as Plays and Musicals. As a result, I am keen to pursue a variety of crafts, although my passion remains acting for Film and Television.

I look forward to working with you.

Additional Information

As you will see from my credits, I have played a variety of roles throughout my training, from the cold and calculating Mary Tilford in Lillian Hellman's play "The Children's Hour" to the flamboyant and seductive Erma Latour in Cole Porter's Musical "Anything Goes". I greatly enjoyed the challenge of playing these roles, developing a character and delivering a truthful and engaging performance; I am looking forward to the opportunity to do the same again soon.
Additionally, I have developed an eclectic showreel, constructed from a variety of projects including Short Films and Music Videos. I'd like to invite you to have a look at my showreel and very much hope you enjoy it.

Additional Skills

Acting: I have training in both stage acting and screen acting. Much of my training was based on Uta Hagen; individually, I continue taking regular classes and reading books on Meisner, Stella Adler, Uta Hagen and Stanislavski in order to develop and refine my skills. In addition, I have excellent comic timing and my skills lend themselves well to a comedic script.

Singing: I am a mezzo soprano with a high belt, my vocal range being G3-G5. Additionally, I have a soft lyrical quality, and my voice lends itself particularly well to contemporary ballads. I also have training is Jazz singing, and voice has developed a richness as a result.

Dance/Movement: I am a strong mover with training in Jazz, Ballet and Tap. I take weekly dance classes and fitness classes and as a result I move confidently and well. In addition, I have training in APC Stage Combat, having learned how to fight unarmed, with a Rapier and Gauntlet, and a single knife.

Extra Skills: I have experience of improvisation, script-writing, modelling, puppetry and have previously assisted in devising an original musical. I have excellent comic timing and the ability to learn lines quickly; in addition to this, I am a confident swimmer and cyclist. I am also experienced in cake-decorating and barista work.

Modelling: My work as a model has ensured I am naturally confident in front of a camera, as well as extremely confident moving in heels. I have a dynamic walk and excellent skills as a makeup artist, having undergone professional makeup training in London.
