About Me

Hello. I am a University Student who is currently studying Musical Theatre and Acting for Film. I have always had a raw ambition to become an actor. I am a very hard worker, and I believe I am also very versatile when it comes to taking on different roles. I have plenty of experience in working with comedic scripts, but I am also able to deliver intense and dramatic performances when needed to do so. I am currently working hard towards my degree that requires me to constantly learn more and more skills that help me to grow as an actor. I also have some experience with Stage Combat, and very much enjoy improving this skill in particular. I also believe that I am an individual who can get along with everyone, maintaining professional relationships with co-workers and fellow cast members.

Employment History & Experience

I have had acting experience both on stage and on screen, however stage acting is the type of acting I have been doing for the longest. I started by doing musicals (E.G - Grease, Blues Brothers and School of Rock). I then went on two perform in Pantomimes, which I enjoyed very much and was very successful at doing. One of the characters I played one year went on to be written into the next two pantomimes I was in because it was so popular with audiences each year. I also had a part in 'Lords and Ladies', which is based from a book written by Terry Pratchett. I then joined University studying a Theatre degree, which I did for a year, and then moved to Musical Theatre and Acting for Film. During my year on the Theatre course, I developed skills in creating my own pieces of Theatre from scratch - including a response to '1984' by George Orwell and a piece focusing on Instagram and how people are using it as a career. After changing course, I have been learning camera skills, how to create certain characters from scratch (using improvisation as a key tool within this). I have also been learning about the practitioner 'Meisner', and how this can be used to create a performance that is coming from a place of complete honesty and truth. I am also gaining experience currently in voice-overs, and learning how to use my voice for radio adverts and for audio books, which I am finding extremely interesting.

Music

Vocal Skills

Employment History & Experience

My singing experience started when I began to do Musical Theatre when I was young, which usually revolved around being in the chorus, with occasional solos. This then continued into the pantomimes that I began doing, and I also began singing lessons at school. I started to begin singing lessons again when I started University, and these are helping me to be more confident with singing as a solo artist, rather than just in a chorus or ensemble.

Dancing

Experience

Dance Skills

Employment History & Experience

I started tap and jazz classes at the age of 7. I took many exams in both these styles of dance and the majority of the time I earned distinction for each exam. I also spent time dancing within shows, which continued as I began to do pantomimes. I also take jazz, tap and ballet classes at University currently, and would say that tap dancing is definitely the style of dance I am most confident with.

Entertainment

Employment History & Experience

I have been employed as a Christmas elf in a Garden Centre that I work at, which was a payed job. I loved this job so much, as I really got into the character of a Christmas Elf and worked extremely hard at making sure each and every single child's experience was magical for them. This job included talking to the kids whilst they waited for Santa. I was required to get precise details about each child from them, as these details were then used to make it seem as if Santa knew the child personally. The information I had to get from them included their name, what kind of toys they liked to play with, and whether or not they thought they were on the naughty or the nice list. This job also meant I had to improvise a lot depending on how fast or slow the queue was going. For example; if the queue was moving very slowly, it meant I would have to think up lots of different Christmas-related subjects to talk to the children about in order for them to not become bored and impatient.

Experience & Qualifications

General Experience

I also have experience in Stage Combat, which I find very fun and I am always willing to have more experience in that field to enhance my skills further. Due to the fact that I have been acting for years now, I have experience in working with a huge variety of people (including the other children I used to act with when I was young, the Theatre company I worked with when doing pantomimes who were older than me, and my fellow University students during my classes).
