Satya Baskaran

Hello there! I'm Satya, an award winning actor and director, graduated from the University of Birmingham with a Drama degree. I have been working professionally in the UK since 2014, and in Dubai since 2019. I'm in Vancouver now to continue my training in Acting for Film and TV.

How I want to help you:
- Script analysis/scene study
- Cold reading with you
- Working within naturalism (Stanislavski/Chekov/Adler)
- Shakespeare, especially playing subtext
- Support you in grasping the exact look, feel and emotions you're going for
- Giving feedback, helping you find different, unexpected and unique angles
- Being neutral, subtle and underplay my reading so the focus is on YOU!!!

I have experience in:
- Direction
- Coaching for auditions
- Leading workshops, classes and castings
- Body of theatre work spanning classical to contemporary to new writing/immersive (have a gander below!)
- On camera technique

I'd love to help you nail your auditions by giving you someone to play off of, help you break down a scene or even just practice with you to keep you on your game! I’d also be happy to give you some advice about my experience with acting, or any of that good stuff. And don't be worried about rushing it because I have all the time in the world when it comes to helping out my fellow actors and artists -- love doing it and love helping others do it more!

If I'm not online or we get disconnected/can't connect, drop me a line on Instagram/Twitter (@satyabaskaran/@SatyaBaskaran). Otherwise hit the Instant Rehearsal button and let's get you that job!

Satya Baskaran is an actor and director who graduated from the University of Birmingham's Drama and Theatre Arts Course. Since 2014, he has worked in the UK and Dubai in independent, fringe and commercial theatre, earning accolades at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2015 and at the Short+Sweet Theatre Festival in Dubai in 2020.

An adaptive and fluid performer, Satya has worked in a variety of productions in roles ranging from dramatic to comedic, contemporary and classical. These have included the lead in Sarah Ruhl's 'Orlando' as well as supporting roles in 'Hamlet' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Satya also starred in Neil LaBute's 'The Shape Of Things' in August 2020 - the first play of Dubai's post-lockdown season, as well as lead the highly acclaimed production of 'Holmes and Watson', both of which opened to great acclaim. Prior to moving to Vancouver in June 2021, Satya produced and starred in 'The Wolf Pack', an original short film which he helped write.

Satya is also a proficient guitarist and singer, both of which are self-taught and he has also completed his Trinity Grade 6 music exam in guitar. A skilled cold-reader, who thrives in evolving situations, Satya revels in the opportunity to improvise with his scene partners. His knowledge of on-camera technique has also been bolstered by his work in short films, as well as a short-course in film acting he has taken since leaving university.

Additionally, Satya is interested in martial arts as a form of fitness and as a hobby as has achieved a yellow belt in kick-boxing. He is also an avid reader, and engages in creative writing in his spare time. He is now looking for opportunities to expand his body of work and gain more experience to build his career.
