My Voice Experience

Jacki Simmons has worked as an actor, both in the UK and in Australia.

Educated and trained as an actor in Sydney, Jacki began her acting career with television roles in Australia’s Most Wanted and Two in the Bush with Katie Manning from Doctor Who fame. At the same time she also appeared in corporate film and some of Australia’s best known and loved television commercials, including the CCs Corn Chips campaign, Actifed CC, NRMA, Sun Certain Sellers, Weeties and Copper Kettle Coffee, among others. By this time she was becoming known for her comedy roles, and appeared with Barry Humphries as Sir Les Patterson’s assistant in the satirical video, Flashbacks.

During this time, she began singing in rock and roll bands, going on to form her own cabaret duo and performing at various Sydney venues.

Following her love of classical theatre, she undertook a BA (Hons) at the University of New South Wales, going on to appear in numerous theatre productions ranging from Shakespeare and Restoration Comedy to pantomime at the Sydney Opera House. She also has an MA from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

Her work extends to the corporate sphere where she has worked as a promotional announcer and Masterclass leader for Estee Lauder cosmetics, a visitor host at the Sydney Opera House and, more recently, as a tutor and lecturer for a number of acting schools in the UK, including East 15 and the Italia Conti Academy.
