Highlights
-
I have been acting on stage for some 27 years in amateur theatre,
in a wide variety of character roles and types of production, including Shakespearian eg Cassius in Julius Caesar, Oberon in Midsummer Nights Dream, Scrooge in an adaptation of the Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, Azdak in Caucasian Chalk Circle.
I have also done some amateur film acting.
I consider myself a very versatile and imaginative actor, placing great importance on timing and authenticity. See also my singing profile. -
I have always been emotionally moved by music and know hundreds of popular songs from the 20s to present day. For the last 20 years I have been singing in public, on stage and in pubs and clubs with live bands, mostly jazz and standards, but also blues, country, pop and light operatic.
I have a versatile voice and am confident with any style of singing, including light operatic.
I am about to launch a solo singing career using backing tracks, including a Sinatra tribute set.
I have been studying with an operatic singing tutor for several years with a view to improving my range and voice production. I have a working range of at least 2 octaves C to F plus a few notes of higher falsetto.
