BIO
Lottie is a British actor, singer and dancer. She started her national acting career in the theatre at the age of 12 as a member of the National Youth Music Theatre (NYMT) 2016-19 and British Youth Music Theatre 2017-18, performing on the West End Stage and also originating new shows off West End, in regional tours and in Belfast with some of the UK's best new and established theatre Directors.
As a naturally versatile actress and singer she progressed into film in 2017 with her very first role as the young lead in a period docudrama. She then successfully combined acting and singing in the role of the young lead in a short musical film in 2018. Further screen roles followed where she explored new film genres, including a musical short for a BBC Arts commission, a live version of a stop motion animation for web (1.8m views), a hard-hitting educational film for a UK homelessness charity and a pilot of a gang wars series.
During the 2020/21 COVID-19 pandemic, Lottie diversified further while adhering to regulations and appeared as a lead character in a Christmas TV commercial. Early in 2021 during 'lockdown' she was cast for voiceover work for CBBC and BBC Radio and also an animated film for a US artist's exhibition in Detroit. All of these she recorded in her home studio with remote direction.
Lottie trains as a triple threat performer for both stage and screen. She has trained with some of the best acting and singing coaches in the UK, including at the renowned Tring Park School for Performing Arts. At age 15 she was invited to join the National Youth Theatre and at age 16 she became a proud member of Equity.

ANIMATED FILM FOR THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, DETROIT, USA
Lottie was recently cast as the voice of self-proclaimed 18th century prophet Richard Brothers in the opening animated film for an exhibition by the multi-discliplinary artist Tali Keren, to be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit (MOCAD), Michigan, USA.
The work of upcoming artist Tali Keren, (born 1982 Jerusalem, living and working in Brooklyn NY), often focuses on the formation of ideology, settler-colonial violence, and political identity. This piece featuring Lottie's voice is due to form the opening centrepiece of this exciting new solo exhibition.
To compete the work during Covid times, Tali worked with Lottie remotely, directing her over Zoom while Lottie recorded from her own home studio. As part of the work, Lottie was also required to learn and recite some Hebrew. The exhibition is due to run in early Summer 2021.
REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
"Lottie’s enormous talent, intelligence, and dedication make her a phenomenal actress and an incredible pleasure to work with! I cast Lottie as a voice actress for my animation film for the role of a self-proclaimed 18th-century prophet. I was looking for the depth and versatility of a mature person but within a voice of a child or a teen (a very hard thing to find). Lottie brought all that and more into the part, we worked with her vocal range, emotional range, and tone, the entire time she was truly dedicated to the process and delivered a powerful and nuanced performance. She is an incredible actress with a bright future and I recommend working with her with all my heart."

Multi-media Artist at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit
"Lottie has done an absolutely incredible job! I am absolutely thrilled with the recording, she has exceeded my expectations (and I could tell she would do a brilliant job) by far.
I really feel Lottie has brought Everland to life."
Natascha Graham
Screenwriter & Author - Everland
"We can expect to see both this wonderful new musical and its talented cast in the future."

"We worked with Lottie on a TVC for a family board game. This involved some tricky technical set-ups where she needed to act as if other actors were in the same space. She executed this flawlessly! In addition, she was incredibly professional but relaxed and a lot of fun on set and took direction brilliantly. We will be looking to have her back as soon as possible."
Will Griffiths
Producer - Interplay UK TVC
"When Lottie auditioned for the part of Rose, she shone out for so many reasons. Her very natural talent, combined with a true sweetness, and such focus made casting for the part a
director's dream.
Lottie has also been a true delight to work with in rehearsals and on set. She learns dialogue quickly, delivers her lines beautifully and takes direction very well. She is also very supportive and mindful of other cast members and crew and I wouldn't hesitate, if given the opportunity, to work with her again. I don't doubt she will go far in the film world."
Coralie Hudson
Director - Tapestry
"It is hard to recommend an actor of this ability, because you know your words will simply not convey the talent they have. Then you factor in their age and you suddenly realise the only way to recommend an actor of this calibre is to say... cast her [...] and discover her talent for yourself."
Mark Anthony Games
Screenwriter - Tapestry
"Particularly successful were medleys of songs from Jason Robert Brown’s 13 – written for NYMT and introduced by the composer himself, in his typically droll manner – and Benjamin Till’s Brass, the latter reaffirming in my mind this show as the musical theatre highlight of the year."
