Hi there,
I’m an UK actress in London with bases in Lanarkshire -Scotland,
Belfast -Northern Ireland, Carlingford - Ireland and on the Isle of Wight.
I have loved and embraced a wonderful career in musical theatre, working around the world and in the London's Westend. The past couple of years I have thrown myself in the world of screen, both in front and behind the camera!
I love reading, discovering, collaborating and meeting new creative minds …
Happy to read for auditions and self-tapes, to offer my thoughts or helpful encouragement in the moment.... if that's what you need. :)
I have chosen to read for tips to help and be accessible to all. On occasion between jobs, paying lots for a reader can be an added stress or distraction from the audition, we could do without.
So drop me a request, I'd love to meet you and help you smash that audition or line memorising.
If you can, then please do pay something for my time.
Many Thanks and See you Soon
Carolyn

Hi there,
I’m a UK actress based in London with bases in Lanarkshire, Scotland, Belfast, Northern Ireland and Carlingford, Ireland.
My CV shows predominantly lead roles in theatre. But most importantly that I am a keen storyteller!
I love collaboration and meeting new creatives…
I’m always up for readings of new plays, screenplays and musicals… I act and also sing :)
I’m ready to take on more screen work, shorts, features and dramas as my career momentum has
kept me busy on the stage for some time now.
There is so much great writing out there I’m dying to get stuck into.
So connect with me and let’s tell those stories.
This was a really tough scene, and I knew I could depend on Carolyn to help me address it in a very safe way, and yet encourage me and help me get the best performance. She did not disappoint! "Can’t get enough! "She’s so good she always encourages me (ever so gently) to get the best out of me and I’m very grateful for it... she suggested we do one more take and we found the gold as a result. It’s really important to have friends like this you help you do your best, know you inside out, and hold you accountable to your talent. I’m so grateful! "The best! She’s so dedicated she got up at seven in the morning for me. I’m very grateful. "
