On 17th February, I was up in Manchester filming at the marvellous space that is 53Two (if you can, please go check it out - their pies and pints are awesome, their venue perfect for the performing arts - and consider making a donation!).

I started the year with some new headshots done by the lovely Aimee Spinks (you can read about that in my January Blog).

I realise that this is something that I’ve had on my acting bucket list for a while now, having come across notes to myself that I was going to do it (but didn’t at the time I’d made these notes to myself).

However, I decided as I was not working with any regularity, it made sense to devote time working on a skill which I needed to improve - self-taping. I’ve only been asked for a handful of self-tape auditions over the last few years and knew that I needed to up my skills in this area because of how common they have become during the pandemic.

I’ve been doing a few things behind the scenes over the last few months, so haven’t really posted a blog lately. But I have been interviewed by the lovely JJ Barnes…

I am overjoyed to now be represented by Victoria Steven Management. Victoria is an amazing person and a very vocal and supportive agent (she’s my cheerleader)!

I have been meaning to get my headshots updated for a while, but due to one thing and another, have not been able to afford them. During the pandemic, I have met some truly wonderful and generous people who have given me friendship and help when I have needed it most. I do not think I would ever have met some of these lovely souls had it not been for the crisis in which we have found ourselves. With meetings becoming virtual, I ended up signing up for workshops for many different things….
