About me
I hail from a small town in the Scottish Borders and now have bases in London and Edinburgh. Working for many years as a nurse, proofreader and in education, I've always been a great observer of people which has helped me quickly identify with characters in my acting and voiceover work. Always having to be flexible and adaptable means I have strong improvisational skills. Working as a professional has been very exciting and I've been lucky enough to work with award winning directors. I've learned so much but one of the main lessons I have learned is to bring my unique self to a role - there isn't another me out there!TESTIMONIES:
Boris Thompson-Roylance – Director Native Bankside, Co-founder Deadbeat Films - “Maria was a joy to collaborate with. From the moment she walked on set, she was inquisitive, curious, understanding and patient. She bonded well with the entire team and went with the flow during improvised, unscripted scenes. Intuitive and spontaneous, she gave me plenty of exciting dynamics to play with and the film turned out extraordinary. I couldn’t be happier with her!”
Emilee Shaw, Director of Nina ' Maria's preparation for the role is inspiring as she truly wants to understand the character to every detail which was really encouraging for me to work with her.'
I
Paul Burt, Director 3 Sinks ‘Maria was professional and a brilliant personality to have on set. She gave a great performance, responded well to direction and brought a lot to the production.’
Brian Timoney, Brian Timoney Actors' Studio. 'Maria is a strong actor with a knack of creating unique and memorable characters. Don't hesitate to hire her.'
Additional skills:
Singer - contralto to mezzo soprano (E3-D5)
Dance - basic dance steps.
Accents - in addition to my native Scottish accent, standard American, standard English.
Additional information:
I've undergone actor training and have learnt some great tools to help create unique characters. I'm easy to work with, take direction well: actively listening so the job gets done quickly. Always professional in my approach to work with an instinct to realise what the script requires.
