About me
Acting has always been an essential part of my life. From a young age, I have been passionate about performing - be it acting or singing. Moving an audience, taking them through a story, being truthful to a character... That is where I find joy on the stage.I consider myself to be an enthusiastic, diligent and charismatic actor with a burgeoning interest in taking my acting skills further. An experienced public speaker and presenter, I have a unique voice that lends itself well to character work and voice over. I believe passionately in immersing myself within the character development process, utilising both life experience and method research to bring my characters to life. I have a particular niche for diving into the psyche of the roles I play, seeking to understand their individual stories on an emotional and psychological level.
I have always lived by the mantra that the aim of an actor is to tell the truth about their characters, to listen before anything else and to be ambitious - about their plays, about their characters and in life itself.
During my training in Acting at the Southern Theatre Arts Centre, I was fortunate to work under the tutelage of a number of experienced industry professionals, continuing my development over the last 9 years in the South East, East of England and London.
With particular interests in theatre, film, and voiceover, if you are reading this and are intrigued, I hope the opportunity presents itself for us to work together.
