Acting
I have been interested in acting and music ever since I was a kid. I used to daydream about being discovered and being offered a multi-million pound contract! What am I talking about – I still daydream!
As a kid I acted in a few plays at school, and as a teenager I was also a member of the now disbanded Doddinghurst Amateur Dramatics Society (DADS) where we mainly staged pantos.
in 1998 I joined the Blackmore Players and have been a member there ever since – even though I now live an hour away from Blackmore! I am currently in rehearsal for Blackmore’s Got Panto as Jack, the principle boy!
I like to regale people of my day spent as an extra on the set of Get Carmen! which was a BBC drama documentary staring David Suchet as George Carmen QC. It was a great experience and I would do it again – although next time it would be nice to get paid!
I am currently considering trying out as a voiceover artist – although I’m not sure my voice is what most marketing campaigns require!
