Vicky Shillingford

London, United Kingdom

Actor, Musician

I am an Actor/Singer, who is interested in taking part in plays, musicals and concerts. I have completed a year volunteering with 'Peer Productions', a youth theatre company based in Woking. This has involved devising, writing and acting in plays that toured to schools around the South East of England, as well as running workshops, and I even took on a lead role in a feature length educational film! I am a confident and commited performer, as well as being versatile. I'm easy to direct, and work well as part of a team, especially one consisting of performers with passion equal to my own.
