Hello there! I am a film and theatre actress, voice artist and filmmaker, hailing all the way from Cape Town, South Africa! I look forward to playing, learning and discovering with you! I usually use a Standard American accent in tapes unless otherwise requested.
I have years of sight reading experience, so I work quickly with dialogue heavy sides. I have tons of improv training . I also have an amazing sense of comedy and timing and I am well versed in dramatic scripts . This means I would be great at all genres that you have to work with, whether it be for a class scene, a self tape or an audition.
I have a lot of respect and patience for the time we have together to get the most refined and robust performance out of you, so we don't have to rush at all. I can just do a read, or notes and feedback if that is something you are looking for. I am deeply invested and inspired to get the best in character, story and performance from you and our session.
I have a strong Standard American and British accent. I usually use my Standard American Accents in tapes.
