About Me
I\\\'m a young, vibrant and ambition person. I pride myself on a funny personality with quick wit. I want to start acting as it closely links to my other passion, music. I have been studying media, music and music technology for 4 years and have been playing drums for 6 years. Through this I have been able to shape my creativity and learn how to channel it into what I love. To combine acting and music I started getting involved with musical theatre and was in a production of Les Miserables last year. This fuel my ambition to start acting as I enjoyed the ability to sink into another character and be able to tell, to the best of my ability, someone else story. In my opinion, I believe that I am dynamic person who can adapt to different challenges, consequently inspiring me to challenge myself both through acting in different narratives and genres.

Employment History & Experience
Musical Theatre - I was in a production of Les Misersbles last year. I played two characters, the first being Grantaire. In this role I displayed both a careless, lovable rogue character who lived for alcohol and a good time, but also one who's narrative changed towards the end. I had display a young student who has come to the realisation that he may die in this war. He became more emotional and thought provoked towards his last fight, seen in the song 'Drink With Me'.
My other character was Bamatabois, he was the complete opposite of my first character, he was an arrogant and sadistic bully, who demands there 'services' of the prostitutes. I had to completely change my approach from being light hearted and funny, to arrogant, creepy and sadistic.
Advertisement - In 2016, I acted in a product advertisement for a drum kit, in a student film. It was a non speaking role as the advertisement was based upon a soundtrack that was pre-recorded. In the advertisement I played a person who was obsessed with drums, tapping and banging on anything around to make a beat before he finally sends the drum kit through the doorway and has his release. This was more a test of my acting in terms of body language and facial expressions as I had to tell the narrative without any lines.
