Ella Speakman Profile

Hi! My name’s Ella Speakman and I am an actor from Preston. I have just done a year of training at ArtsEd on the acting course which has taught me so much especially in having fun and playing in scenes so that the reactions are real and spontaneous. I have a real love for improv and using the element of spontaneity in scripted scenes. At the end of the year we performed the play ‘Greenland’ in which I took on the roles Freya, Oppenheimer and Susie. As these characters were all very contrasting I was able to showcase my range and versatility as an actor. I played with levels of seriousness between parts as well as comedy which helped clearly differentiate between roles. I have also had training in musical theatre and would class myself as a very good dancer and singer. I have my grade 5 ballet, grade 4 tap and did up to grade 5 in ABRSM singing. As well as this I’ve attended classes for commercial and jazz and have performed in amateur productions of musicals growing up.
