I have always enjoyed performing.But had never taken it seriously as a career until 2011, when at short notice I was drafted into a performance of Footloose, with a mixture of that and crashing out of A-levels I decided to take up the mantle of ‘Actor’.
Since then I have been in a wide variety of performances from Grundy in The Black Hearted Villian to Danforth in The Crucible. To me, acting is like a drug, when you hear the roar of the audience it sets off a euphoric feeling.
Since coming to Lincoln University, I have nurtured into the actor I wanted to be and have gained the valid experience needed to make something of myself. My proudest moments are selling out a few shows in the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre. A few of these sell-out shows have been musicals, which is another great passion of mine, increasing my vocal capacity and range has been a goal of mine for years. Being told at the age of 11 that I had damaged my vocal chords as a child and that I might lose my voice one day terrified me so I used to go days without talking, but gaining confidence in singing and learning the right technique has given me a new lease in life.
