Ainsleigh Barber

Heyyy!
My name is Ainsleigh, I am an London based actress and voice actress based in London, UK.
I graduated from Aberystwyth University with a BA (Hons) in Drama, Theatre & Performance Studies (2:1). I've been a professional working actor since then for the last 7+ years.
I have a colourful CV; short films to rep tours, a Barney Live tour in Saudi Arabia, Body Doubling/stand-in work, Voice-over, modelling and children's entertainment!
(When I worked for the children's entertainment agency, Non Stop Kids, I acheived the "Entertainer of the month" award within 2 months of joining!)

Other work includes:
BBC’s His Dark Materials S1: For the whole of the 1st season, I was Dafne Keen's (Lyra Belaqua) Lead Stand-in, where I was heavily involved during scene rehearsals as well as running lines with the other lead actors.
I am currently the voice of Gillie in the children’s YouTube series "It’s Gillie"!
I am also due to work on another feature film from August - November :)

A bit more about me:
I am also a neurodiverse performer so I understand that memorising, understanding motives, or even self motivation can be difficult; and can help you work around these potential difficulties and bounce ideas!

I'm also Female/Non-binary so happy to work with you on any LGTBQIA+ scripts or even if you're not fussed whether the character's gender matches the performer.
(To me it's about getting the lines and the intent!)

Whether you require a reader for rehearsing lines or for self-tapes, whether it's for a quick 15 minute refresh or self-tape, or could do with ongoing weekly support - Just let me know what you need!

Also, Atashi no nihongo wa sukoshi desu.
I can't read japanese but I can speak it - My pronunciation has been complimented a lot when I visited!
One of my favourite moments from that trip was when I didn't understand what a Japanese lady was saying, but I managed to help her out anyway with what little I did know!
I'm also a gamer and general nerd :)
