Acting

Matt combines a great "can do" work ethic with a genuine desire to be on stage or set to portray his assigned character to the best he can. A commanding presence, and always improving and adapting, Matt will do his all to make a project he is involved in a roaring success.

Plus, just look at him! He looks amazing!

Advanced Screen Combat

Proper training is essential for creating authentic and impactful action scenes and Matt is always trying to improve himself to meet his goals. Because of this he enrolled in a certificated screen combat training programme so he could obtain the practical skills necessary to become a successful action performer. It's no secret that he would love to be cast in a fantasy drama full of swords and sorcery and this is a step to achieve that ambition. He is trained to the highest Stage Four ECSPC level.

Voice Overs

Matt has his own home studio and has been asked to do voice acting on an eclectic range of projects from Silver Helmet in the Star Wars fanfic film The Hand of Fate to a spoof on 80's films in The Geordie Warriors series.

He uses a Rode NTA1 wired mic, ran through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen audio interface in a sound proofed home office. He uses a Canon EOS M50 for recording to camera.

Education

Matt studied with the Acting Academy, under award winning actor and producer Mark Pegg (Eastenders, The Bill, Our Friends in the North) in the Art, Technique and Business of acting, as well as achieving a Law degree before his acting career.
