About me
I am a fairly ordinary looking, slim, mature female that can brush up well. I have lots of experience of acting, improv, voice over and modelling work. I have played leading roles in 17 stage plays since 2015 and have lots of experience of acting in short films. I am also an accomplished violinist. I am excited now that I can be completely flexible and available for more acting opportunities, having retired early from my day job of teaching maths.Self-Recording

I have been a teacher all my life but started acting in 2015, having been inspired by one of my students. I have now played lead roles in 10 plays including Margaret Thatcher in Handbagged by Rona Munro in 2018. In February 2020 I played the lead role of Glaswegian prisoner Faye in IRON by Rona Munro.
I have trained at the Jim Cartwright Drama Studio, ActUpNorth, Play with Fire, Thinking Actors and the Actors Lab. I have worked from scripts and written and performed monologues. I have also done lots of improvising, set scripts and improvised duologues in front of the camera. I have attended various courses and workshops with MAP including on screen acting with Karen Henthorn. Since March 2020, I have taken regular ( 4 times a week) online improv classes with Liverpool Comedy Improv
I have modelled for four different photographers, and enjoyed in particular being involved in a mother daughter photo/video shoot which is featured on the photographer’s website Vilija Skubute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH_lFbbuNUc
I have taken part in numerous short films, promotional and corporate videos, and an on line ad for Michelin Tyres. https://vimeo.com/237060232
I am also an accomplished violinist and lead 2 local orchestras. I took part in a pop video with the MonaLisa Twins in May 2018.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsiKXfFkRoA&app=desktop
I can do various accents including RP, Cheshire, Manchester, Yorkshire, Liverpool, Glaswegian and have been cast in many voice overs and radio plays. For some I have played up to 3 different characters in the same film / radio play utilising my different accents and voices. I have always lived in Manchester but my Glasgow accent is particularly convincing - helped I imagine by having parents from there.
Having taken early retirement from teaching July 2020, I now have the time to focus entirely on my acting. -
I am an accomplished violinist/ violist and have had the opportunity of playing my violin in various short films that I have also been acting in. In 2017 I was the onstage nun and offscreen violinist in a short film about Mata Hari (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZeMf0p2hdU) I took part in my first pop video with The Mona Lisa Twins in May 2018 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QsiKXfFkRoA in which I played viola. In August 2018 I was the onscreen journalist in Mother and the offscreen fiddler in another scene. https://youtu.be/C1GWxYnlR-M and https://youtu.be/_TUsReGVOws.
I have played with my string quartet for 20+ years. We play at weddings and corporate and charity events. I have led several amateur orchestras as guest leader and was principal leader with the GPO 1994-2004. I have also formed 2 semi professional orchestras in 2004, the Amaretti Chamber Orchestra and the Athenean Ensemble. I lead them both both and fix the players. This clip is from a concert in 2018 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFITUhmfFo Bottesini duo Amaretti
I have also been the onstage fiddler in a production of Fiddler on the Roof and a gypsy violinist in a pantomime.
Although I don't play the piano very much any more, I am still competent and got to grade 7 when I was 14.
I can sing in tune preferably as a backing singer or choir member. -
I believe I have the skills to be a good presenter as I have worked as a teacher for many years so have plenty of experience addressing groups of people - both children and parents. In addition, I regularly address audience groups at my orchestral concerts. I played the parts of mother and off screen news presenter VO in A rainy day https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8TTd9xnlY9Y. I have twice played the part of narrator presenting information in radio plays including https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ROMp8H-iJrI I am confident and relaxed in front of an audience or camera and would welcome any presenting opportunities.
