About me
I enjoy bringing an intensity to roles requiring maturity and authority, and have played lead roles in many short films, and as a womanising Venetian patrician in a lost Elizabethan play, for the Camden Fringe festival.Although now middle-aged, I am tall, lean and fit, and still have lots of hair!
I have been told that I have a particular aptitude for quirky roles, dark authority figures, and comedy.
Additional skills:
I am a trained baritone, and continue to perform full-length solo cabarets in London and Amsterdam venues, with a small ensemble. This has also taken me to engagements in Sydney (2002 and 2015) as part of the Glebe Music Festival.
As well as being fluent in French and Italian, I can speak Spanish to a reasonable level.
Singer:
Now a mature singer, I've combined music as a hobby in tandem with my previous career as a hospital physician and GP.
Being a light baritone, I've enjoyed singing in solo cabarets in pubs and private functions, singing in mainly amateur musicals and in choirs in Australia and now regularly in central London.
I like to personalise music, emphasizing character and lyrics, and adding humour and patter when appropriate.
Additional skills:
Moderate skills in sight-reading.
Extensive experience in the American and British Songbooks in concert and cabaret.
Extensive experience in lead roles with Gilbert and Sullivan companies in Sydney and London.
Additional information:
I was formally trained part-time in classical technique at the Melbourne Conservatorium, and privately, in my 20s and 30s
