Spotlight registered. Bases in the Midlands, Sussex and London. I'm told I stand out because I laugh a lot & don't take myself too seriously. Maybe it's helped by the fact that I love life. I'm passionate about so many things including my work, my cars, my family & friends, I throw myself in the deep end & usually come out better for having done it. It's hard to put me in a box. I have been described as having the classical, vintage look, graceful, elegant & adaptable, yet able to turn on the gritty, no-nonsense hard look when required. I can cry on cue if necessary which is standing me in good stead for the more serious parts.

I'm Spotlight registered http://www.spotlight.com/6221-4537-9217 and enjoy working in feature films, training videos and television dramas. I get a real kick out being in the industry in general and hope that I can be a real bonus for your production.

I have massive live acting experience too, and regularly perform in Murder Mysteries and present shows aimed at younger audiences. I have a natural comedic ability and know how to bring out the best in people.. However I can do dark and dangerous very well, so don't let my delicate elegance fool you...

I have years of extras experience, having been a featured SA in many films and television shows, as well as commercials and music videos.

Modelling

Part-time model - paid commercial work

Modelling website

www.ritadamper.co.uk

I am an experienced model and actress having appeared in international publications since my early twenties, including several 'real woman' features including She magazine, Pick Me Up and It's Fate.. My petite hour glass figure, long legs and pre-raphaelite hair make me the natural choice for vintage and classical shoots. I'm friendly, outgoing and patient. I love working outdoors and am not averse to being humorous or bizarre if required. I enjoy character work too. I'm flexible, often being able to work at very short notice and don't take myself too seriously.

TV & Reality

As well as appearing as an actress and extra on TV, I've also been a contestant on a general knowledge quiz and also a travel game show, a classic car programme on Discovery, a series of 3 photographic training videos for Mark Cleghorn, an interactive training video for the National Fire Service and Gordon Ramsay's Cook Along. (Please don't hold the last one against me. I set fire to my kitchen on live television.....) , recently adding Bargain Hunt to my experience.
