There's no inspiration without breath
Holly Renaut has had an international career in theatre, film and voice over, both as a performer and as a highly regarded dialect and acting coach, working with hundreds of performers all over the world individually and in production, most recently coaching Chiwetel Ejiofor and Naomie Harris in the Man Who Fell to Earth.
A native of Canada, she has performed and toured in 6 different countries, including two summer shows at the RSC outdoor venue, voiced countless characters, ads, and video games including Nintendo’s Metroid Dread, and most recently guest-starred in the upcoming series Land of Women.
We talk about what it’s like working in different countries, receiving some ‘free advice’ at a Shakespeare conference, her excellent Accent Challenge and what it’s like to get cast in a high profile project, and then have your scenes left on the cutting room floor.
