I have mainly done amateur acting / concert jobs and have been good at transforming myself into a character for example working class makes good..... I have been a teacher so I have been good a turning on and off different personas and voices....especially when teaching drama or reading out loud to children. I have made a short historical documentary film about the history of my area and composed the music and provided the voice over. I am educated to post graduate standard. My main degree BA(hons) being in Music - composition and performance. I have payed a variety of operatic roles and characters from Cherubino in Marriage of Fiagaro - to Carmen.... I have taught for a number of years and during this time - wrote and produced a variety of musicals and plays for the children. I have also taken part in amateur dramatic plays. The performing arts has thus been the majority of my life.
