Hello!
I'm Janine McGrath from Melbourne, Australia.
I'd be delighted to help you learn lines, rehearse, and/or self-tape.
I understand how important it is to feel relaxed and confident with the choices you make, so I encourage you to take all the time you need. Any genre.
I have an Australian accent but have access to a General American accent and a French accent.
Previous jobs...Primary School Teacher, Dance Teacher, University Lecturer, Receptionist, Aerobics Instructor, Waitress, Check-out Chick (cashier).
Although I'm happy to read for free, tips & reviews would be happily received.
Cheers!
