Professional Profile - Version 2

Hi again,

Once again thanks for all the comments and suggestions.  I have altered my Professional Profile and used some of the suggestions people gave, so please take a look and see what you think.

I personally prefer this version. I think the expansion on certain points such as the styles of dance I trained in and how the 2 diplomas worked well together, gives a much better insight to the reader, so thank you for those suggestions :)

Here goes......

Jo Bradley - Professional Profile

Performing has always been a true love of mine and is an integral part of my life.  I am passionate about all areas of the arts, in particular Musical Theatre and from an early age I made this part of my life, performing in amateur productions and taking classes in Dance, Singing and Acting.  I soon became committed to pursuing a career in this industry and was thrilled to be offered a scholarship at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts.

I spent three fantastic years training intensely in all areas of Musical Theatre and Dance, including Jazz, Ballet, Tap and Contemporary but to name a few and my passion for the arts continued to grow, along with the development of my skills and technique. Whilst training I was fortunate enough to play such diverse roles as Ida in Honk, Ava in Stop the World I want to Get Off and the Narrator in UnderMilkwood.  I found a particular love for Acting during my three years at Laine’s and decided to take an additional Level 6 Diploma in Performing Speech and Drama, along with my Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre.  The further specialisation in Acting definitely enhanced my Performance skills within the Musical Theatre genre, after all, is Acting not the basis for the success of a performance? Without the ability to portray a character believably, how can the audience engage and believe in your performance?   

The experiences, skills and knowledge gained during my training are invaluable and they have enabled me to pursue a career in something I truly love.  After graduating I was fortunate enough to be offered a job as Singer/Dancer for QDOS Entertainment and have recently enjoyed a great contract onboard the Celebrity Infinity. 

Whilst training, I also discovered a love for teaching the Arts and began to consider this as a possible future career.  My time in between performing contracts is spent teaching Musical Theatre to Children and I get a buzz from this which is parallel to that of when performing.  I hope that in the future I can undertake a more permanent career in teaching, sharing my experiences and passion for the Arts with a younger generation.
