Hi Everyone!
I'm Dorren, better known as Dozz or Dozzie by friends and family 😊
I'm a 45 yr old kiwi living in Auckland, New Zealand - mother to 2 gorgeous and rambunctious boys!
I have been acting since the age of 12, cutting my teeth in community theatre over the years and becoming a highly able character actress with excellent comic timing as well as being a very good straight actress with a huge emotional range.
I have worked professionally doing improv dinner theatre for a number of years which attuned my ability to think quickly on my feet. And I am an excellent sight reader 🤗
Would love to meet you and help you get ready for your audition! xx
