Model, Actor, Musician, Film & Stage Crew

I'm 46 (47 in June 2012), I'm based in Castle Bromwich near Birmingham, which was where I was born. I've lived in London, Cheltenham and Bolton and I remain single, leaving me flexibly placed for moving to another area if the chance is presented. For now I'd be more interested in seeking opportunities closer to Birmingham. Having followed an academic route through Fine Art, Film Studies and teacher training I now sense I need to be involved with more creative and expressive outlets. I like the idea of being an extra largely because I offer hardly any acting experience otherwise. I have a tremendous interest in cinema, particularly in British and European film-making. I believe I can back this up with a committed knowledge and understanding of film culture in general. Most inspired films would take up too many words to list and ultimately lists don't always do justice. Musically, I feel I have an ability to knock out some melodies and tunes within quite a wide pop single generic s

Modeling

Modeling experience:Part-time model - paid commercial work
This is all about having been a 'life-model' for art classes. Does this count ? I've come from an art and design background academically and professionally having sold work (paintings and illustrations mainly) and having done some art teaching in adult ed. and F.E. Disillusioned with much of this I found myself resigned to be a life-model.

Acting

Acting experience:No previous acting experience

Appeared in 'scratch' video projects on first year of Fine Art degree. Some more improvisational stuff attempted though it's over twenty yeasrs ago now.

TV & Reality

No first hand experience. I've got a Masters degree in Film and TV Studies (all theory and history) so I find myself analytical and critical of the cultural impact of it.

Music

Keyboard ability:IntermediateLike to join a band:Yes
Vocal ability:Backing vocals

Singing styles

PopRock

Favorite genres

PopRockIndie
Technically I don't read music. I'm self-taught on piano, picking up obviously on heavily chorded structures and tunes, playing by ear, trying to express some degree of originality within various pop formulae. I can give singing a go but I'm probably better writing for others. Inspiration would be from a mix of glam and indie influences. I write all my own lyrics based on love, loss, atmosphere, occasional regression into social/political landscapes, changing seasons, things you observe from a window, etc.

Film & Stage Crew

No experience. Account for knowledge and critical interest though.
