Kate Elder

Notes

Winner of the Best Actress award at Perth’s 2021 Short+Sweet Festival (Lady M) and nominated for a Best Supporting Actress award at the Under the Stars International Film Festival (Gone) – Kate is an enthusiastic and dedicated screen and theatre actor and voice over artist. In recent years Kate has undertaken a number of lead and support roles in theatre productions and short films and has received praise for her believable and engaging performances, including ‘a particularly transformative performance’ as Woman in Veronica’s Room (Melville Theatre 2019) and ‘excellent from the moment of her impressive entrance' as Wynne in Dinner (Stirling Theatre 2021). She is comfortable stretching herself across both dramatic and comedic projects, has a naturally curious nature, and thoroughly enjoys collaborating with directors and colleagues to deliver realistic and truthful performances. Kate also refreshes and extends her skills with ongoing acting and voice training. Her home VO studio set up includes a RODE NT1-A microphone, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen 3 interface and Audacity audio software. Kate's natural accent is neutral English, but she can also deliver a range of UK regional accents. Recent roles have required Kate to perform in French, Russian, Southern Irish, Boston, Australian, Scottish and RP accents, and she is always keen to tackle and refine a new accent. Due to also having a career in media and marketing for over 25 years, Kate is very familiar with the pace and diversity of creative production environments. Kate holds UK and Australian passports and is based in Perth, Western Australia.
