Reads for free & accepts tips

*** Hey folks, I'm doing a FREE + tips week this week. ****

I'd love to help you as a reader and help you get the practice, support and confidence you need to smash-it at your workshop, audition or performance - I'm very much enjoying this whole reader experience on here!

Here's some examples of what I can offer:
- Self-tape recording partner
- Walk throughs
- Speed runs
- A 'Play sesh' where you can just have fun with all your character ideas to test them out
- Improv partner
- Prep/rehearsal for workshop/class
- Sanity check of character development
- Something more in depth like script analysis or ground-up character development

It's important to me that you get what you need in a comfortable, enjoyable, safe environment so I will take your lead. I won't provide unsolicited feedback or rush you, and I'll check-in with you as we go to make sure you're getting the right amount of input and performance from me to meet what you need. If it's what you need I'm always happy to kick off with a cold read after a quick intro from you and then go from there.

Also always happy to be a reader for any writers out there who want to hear a character come to life.

[FYI - Sometimes when you call, if don’t reply I'm not ignoring the call, it'll be because I’m in another session - the beacon doesn’t always switch off automatically]

A quick snapshot of my experience:
I'm an actor, writer, director and producer with a strong Shakespeare and contemporary theatre background, with some screen acting experience (which I'm currently actively building on). I also ran a successful touring theatre company for several years as Artistic Director.

I'm an actor, theatre director, writer and producer with a strong Shakespeare and contemporary theatre background with some screen experience in short films. I'm currently actively seeking more screen work, and looking for my first TV credit.

I've worked on a mixture of modern adaptations, musicals, Shakespeare and more contemporary texts. Some of which I wrote, directed and produced as part of running a successful touring theatre company for several years, as the Artistic Director. There has always been an element of the cinematic about my work as a theatre director so I'm excited to pursue work in the screen-world more.

Throughout my career so far I’ve fallen in love with layered, complex characters who play with the balance of strength and vulnerability. I’m an intuitive and dedicated actress who sets the bar high and enjoys the levity of comedic roles as much as the intensity of those which are more dark and dramatic.
