About me
My training and experience are eclectic. Everything from TV and film, to cabaret, circus and street theatre. Stand up comedy and improv, to directing, writing and teaching. Physical comedy and slapstick are my forte (I even wrote a book about it, CLOWN The Physical Comedian published by Bloomsbury), but I'm equally adept at dramatic work.I have an excellent speaking voice and can do a number of US accents and a few British ones. I'm beginning to explore voiceover work, including audiobook narration, radio dramas and commercials.
I've written and acted in eight solo shows and twelve ensemble productions of original material which have toured North America and Europe, so I know what it means to work hard and maintain trust and professionalism with directors and producers, while always keeping a healthy sense of humor.
I am currently seeking both short and long term work for film, stage, training vids, and voiceover. I'm adept at using a camera and editing software so I can deliver self-tape auditions in a short amount of time. I am constantly adding new video files to my profile, so please check back in.
I look forward to hearing from you!
