Chrysanthe Grech Pro

Brighton, United Kingdom

Actor, Musician, Dancer

Please ignore what it says about my being 44. I'm not 44 years old, but I can't change what is written...I've tried, but I can't! I love using many accents and voices. I write most of my own audition pieces and enjoy comedy script writing. I am into fitness and nutrition and am a fully qualified personal trainer, so enjoy physical theatre. I sing and play the guitar. I love improvisation as a way of exploring a particular character. Comedy is my first love but I also like the idea of exploring dark and dangerous places within....
