Part-time model - paid commercial work

I have been involved in various photo shoots, and video shoots, mostly dance related. I have also modelled for a make-up academy on numerous occasions and so am experienced in fashion and beauty shots. I am a professional actress/singer/dancer and know how to look natural and work an audience or a camera. I am also experienced in dance and fitness photography and promotional work. I am very personable, dedicated, hard-working and disciplined, and will always throw myself fully into any role given.

I trained in musical theatre and, previous to that, sung a lot of classical music. I have since sung funk, pop, rock, folk, indie, jazz, soul, and musical theatre. I am confident and experienced in all genres, with a strong mezzo-soprano voice and a good belt. I also worked with a function band, as a soloist and backing singer, and so can hold harmonies well.
I have a lot of experience singing live, as well as recording. I am very much on the lookout for colleagues to write with. I have recently recorded some musical theatre songs so please let me know if you would like to hear them. Other recordings are on my StarNow profile.

I am a professional dancer. I trained primarily in dance, and since leaving college, have mostly worked in dance. This work involves two different contemporary companies, both formed by graduates from Laban and Northern Contemporary, and various theatrical productions including styles such as jazz, commercial, burlesque, tap and ballet. I have often featured as a soloist in these productions, involving pointework, ballet, contemporary, jazz, and also took on the role of choreographer more recently.
