Recipient of two Ian Potter Cultural Trust grants 2008 & 2009. Reviews Lamb, Red Stitch 2018 Goddard is magnificent - Time Out Goddard is astonishingly good. Physically and vocally measured, this is a profoundly sensitive yet far from sentimental portrayal -Australian Stage Goddard gives a moving performance that doesn't cut corners or skimp on the pain.-The Age As Kathleen, Emily Goddard’s performance is a gift.-Daily Review Angels in America, Dirty Pretty Theatre 2017 "Goddard-who seems born for the role of Harper-pours her whole body into her character's despair and awakening. She's so good she often threatens to walk off with the whole play" - Time Out. Noises Off, MTC/QT 2017 "As the mistreated assistant stage manager, Goddard brings an unkempt and slightly tragic quality to the role of Poppy. There are shades of Saffie from Absolutely Fabulous in Goddard's assured performance and seeing her character gain confidence brings some much needed warmth to the production" - Arts Hub This is Eden 45 Downstairs 2017 "Goddard is nothing less than extraordinary" - Stage Whispers "Fearless,nauseatingly exquisite" - The Age 'Goddard is an absolute in her craft...one of the most powerful performances I have seen in a long time' 'Emily Goddard believes a good story should move you; she has done that in her first attempt. Compelling & confronting….This is Eden is first class.' - John Chanter, The Border Mail. You Got Older, Red Stitch, 2016 'Emily Goddard gives a bravura performance.. we daren't look away' - Chris Boyd, The Australian.

The Lonely Wolf, MTC Neon, 2015 'Goddard is outstanding in a coquettish and self-assured performance reminiscent of Marlene Dietrich, able to command an instant obedience we all secretly desire.' - ArtsHub. Glory Dazed, Red Stitch, 2014 'Emily Goddard gives a wonderfully spiky,''I can see you coming'' performance, her working class armour tarnished by the fresh assault of love and pain.'– Cameron Woodhead, The Age. 'Goddard, in a quieter though by no means meek role is magnificent. An amazing performer, she can convey so much without saying a word as fear, loathing, regret, disgust and even love dance across her worried face.'–Stephen Russell, TheLowdown. 'Carla. Oh, Carla. Emily Goddard broke my heart'– Margaret Wirenga, Theatrepress. Mess. The Bush, London & UKNational tour, 2013. 'As Boris, Emily Goddard is empathetic, funny and clownish' .Madeline Moore, FemaleArts,UK 'Goddard is excellent as Boris, gaining her laughs as the show plays with gender roles in the actress’s performance of Josephine’s male friend, and offering a stable emotional core.' –Everything Theatre,London. The Unspoken Word is Joe, Brisbane Festival/MKA 2013. 'As tormented young playwright Zoey, Emily Goddard gives a strong performance, demonstrating an extreme emotional range without resorting to melodrama.' Meredith Walker, Blue Curtain, Brisbane. Elling, Melbourne Theatre Company, 2012 'Goddard as Reidun and others is a loveable clown…deliciously comical.' Chris Boyd–The Australian.
