My life Story within performing


My life within theatre began when I was just three years. I started off dancing from a very early age, where I did tap, ballet and modern. Gaining merits and distinctions!! From the age of 7 I started to sing, and my family thought I could go a long way. From 13 years old I gave up dancing and tried to make myself known by singing. When I was at school I studied Performing Arts and Music and came out with a very successful result, from school I went straight to College and studied Performing Arts all over again reaching merits and distinctions. So from 13 years old to the present I belong to loads of theatre companies, i.e. TouchWood Productions where I have been in shows such as Opening Night - extracts from Joseph & his Admazing Technicolour Dream Coat and load more, Frankenstein - as a St. Trinian Girl(Ethel Ready), All at sea where I played Mrs Pott - Beauty and the Beast, Titanic - My heart Will Go On (Celione Dion), Snow White as a Posh Lady, Ali Baba as a Posh Lady Carmienians did an extract in Martyn Guerre, Gilbert & Sullivan, Opera South West- Orpheus In The Underworld - a prostitute, and singing, City of Plymouth Players- Little Me where I a bank manager, and a Christmas special - singing Once In Royal David's City and many more songs/performances. It wasn't long before I had the best present yet! It was to have private singing lessons. I was absolutely thrilled, I have been with my singing teacher now for a very long time I cant think when I started. I have always wanted to follow my footsteps into my favourites artists such as Ruthie Henshall, Sarah Brightman, Leslie Garrett, Micheal Ball,Russell Watson, and Micheal Crawford. Now im trained to sing musicals and Opera which is what I always wanted. There was one time when I sang at a concert and I remember a gentleman wanted to speak to me. He offered me a placement to go to London to the Royal Opera House where Leslie Garrett went. I was thrilled but unfortunately when my mother sadly passed away I had to stay home. However the option is always there for me, so who knows what the future may hold!!
I also sang with the Theatre Royal Company Voices which was another experience I will never forget.
Now I am currently studing a joint BA Honours in Drama and Media studies, which I enjoy very much I have learnt so much and continue to do so.
