BIO

Emma is a classically trained singer, actor, director and voice coach, developing her love of voice at a young age at the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music and later  through the AMEB and Trinity College, London. She has taught voice performance and acting for over 20 years, and in recent years has spent much of her time on the production side of the theatre world.

Emma is also accomplished theatre performer.  Highlights include roles in The Wedding Singer (Linda), Guys and Dolls (Miss Adelaide), Little Shop of Horrors (Crystal), Titanic the Musical (Alice Beane), Godspell (Joanne), Men at Arms (Cuddy the Dwarf), Noises Off (Poppy), The Vicar of Dibley (the Vicar), Fabbalous and Fabbalous Too (Margherita), Hairspray (Prudy Pingleton/Matron/Gym Teacher), and The Full Monty (Georgie Bukatinsky).  She has also appeared many other productions including Iolanthe (Celia), Pirates of Penzance, The Gondoliers (Gianetta), Ginger Meggs and the Missing Link (Mrs Meggs), Fiddler on the Roof, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Oklahoma, as well as a number of cabaret and theatre restaurant performances.  Once described as a ‘comic gem’, Emma received a Canberra Area Theatre (CAT) Award for her performance as Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls in 2004, and received CAT nominations for her roles in Little Shop of Horrors and The Full Monty (2006).

In her spare time, she is a consulting lawyer, a marriage celebrant, and a mum of two amazing boys who may well be destined for life in or on the stage if their at home theatre productions are any indication.
