Highlights

• Hello and welcome.
  Completion of the diploma in acting with The Birmingham Theatre School has prepared me for auditions and work in classical and contemporary drama, and other interesting acting projects. Following completion, I have gained skills in improvisation, stagecraft, voice projection, and characterization. As part of the diploma program, I performed the role of Marcus Andronicus to a live audience in the school’s staging of Titus Andronicus. Specifically, the course has enabled my understanding of stage direction, clear articulation of dialogue, and character emotion realization. Additionally, the study of basic stage combat, with future class dates booked to take screen combat to an advanced level, with StageFight Birmingham.
  
  Having now completed further training with the London-based Kingdom Drama School, in performing arts acting, and their industry showcase, utilizing Meisner, Strasberg, Adler, and Stanislavski techniques. Additional study in Line-learning exercises, vocal techniques, In-depth textual analysis, and exploring the internal life of a character.
  
  My skill-sets, therefore include good improvisation, creativity, imagination, and strong character identification. I am particularly interested in method acting, to encourage sincerity and expression, and to further develop inner character motivation and emotion. Excellent colleague relationships and teamwork, I have strong communication skills and am well self-managed.
  
  My acting experience consists of classic Shakespeare and various contemporary works.
  
  Interests in the business include stage performance, film, TV (including presenter roles), and a wide range of interesting commercial projects.
  
  Personal entertainment interests are varied and consist of highly charged dramatic police/crime dramas, murder mysteries, horror, and science fiction. However, I also enjoy the challenges of the theatre in the performing arts, including classical and contemporary productions, pantomime, soaps, sitcoms, and farce.
  
  Outside of performing, I enjoy circuit training, badminton, cycling, ice-skating, advanced yoga, and body balance.
  
  Additional qualifications include a master's degree in business, a teaching degree, and information technology skills.
  
  Currently, I am applying for Spotlight membership.
  
  I have my own vehicle, so traveling presents no problems in attending auditions and work. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and enjoy traveling and meeting and working with new people. I am available at short notice for auditions in film, TV, stage productions, soaps, and presenting.
  
  The very best to all.
