Leana Gardella
Hello!
I'm Leana Gardella and I've been in the industry professionally since 2012. I would love to help you with you next big audition in the way that suits you best: whether that's simply reading, lifting you up, offering feedback, or sharing insight on a CD I've worked with.
A little about me:
Recently, I was a costar in Sketch Comedy series Inside Amy Schumer, a recurring in a new Dramedy Pilot Mott& Spy and lead in a Drama/Horror short film The Bargain. I love every genre!
I have a degree in Acting from Pace University, but I've never stopped taking acting classes. I've spent the last 3 years honing in self-tape skills, working with Agent U-Shin Kim and CD James Calleri. Taking multitudes of Casting Director sessions, getting insight on their preferences and pet peeves. And working with a large community of actors to become the best reader and scene partner I can be (knowing where and when to offer positive feedback and push the scene to its greatest potential).
BONUS: I work in Fight and Intimacy Coordination as well so I bring those specialized skills to scenes that contain intimacy or violence/pain.
I look forward to working with you!
Best,
Leana
