As a student in English Literature and Film, I believe that I am very much familiar with performance and role-play. I have experience in acting for school and church plays and find them a lot of fun. It is wonderful to just leave yourself and know how it could be to be in someone else's shoes. As I am a beginner in big-screen acting, I would prefer commercial acting and make progress from there, however, my availability is still open to plenty if not all other categories.
I also do voice-over work.
