Notes

Matt's experience comes through life, varied studies, philosophy, and the discipline of daily practice. Matt is a home-grown Tasmanian actor, born and bred on a cherry farm in the state’s South West. From experience as a Tradesman, Voice Artist, Breakfast Radio Announcer and TV Presenter, underpinned by his extensive study in the Arts, Matthew presents as an actor with true versatility and depth. Matt works with his acting coach weekly, has studied with Howard Fine in Melbourne, mastered multiple dialects with Jennifer White in Sydney, and practices the Alexander Technique with his coach, Penny McDonald. Matt also practices Open Floor Movement weekly. His life experience translates to an honest and powerful performance on-camera.
