Natalie is an actress, singer, dancer, producer, writer and linguist. She was born in Birmingham, UK and grew up in Tamworth, Staffordshire and spent some of her time in Chateau-Neuf-sur-Loire, France, where she learned to speak with an authentic French accent. This later led to her being cast as French roles in theatrical tours, including Le Cirque Magique, and a no. 1 UK tour of 'La Cage aux Folles' in which she worked with James Masters and Coronation Street's Julie Goodyear. And in addition to one of seven sisters in Martin Charnin's production of 'Bless the Bride' at the King's Head Theatre, London, she also played a French prostitute.

Her first feature film was 'Bright Young Things', directed by Stephen Fry. Professional actors made up the ensemble cast because they featured a great deal in close-ups during party scenes. It was an honor for her to work with the late, great Sir John Mills.

She wrote and re-wrote 'Lie Back and Think of America', with the support of Ian Redford and Naomi Jones both of to whom she remains very thankful, and toured this play, and more recently adapted it as a radio play. It was an awarded an Off-Comm commendation and was an Off-Comm finalist in the audio category.

Screen work include BBC's 'Doctors', Athlete's 'Black Swan Song', and a music video shot by film director, Mark Locke and set during World War II, detailing the experiences of the lead singer, Joel's grandfather, John Pott. She also appeared in the documentary 'Black Swan Story', by Richard Edkins. Shorts and student films include lead roles for the Central St Martins, Reading University and the French Ministry of Culture - with director Marine Hugonnier.

She is also a trained and experienced comedy improviser and tap dancer. She founded Improshrews improv group amongst others.

In 2018, she trained in voice-over with Bruce Kronenberg at the Stella Adler Academy in New York, and was also honored to play and sing some of her own music at the Holocaust memorial service at the Actors' Temple in New York, while she was in the city. Rabbi Jill Hausman and the rest of the congregation welcomed her with open arms and made her experience in New York one which was filled with richness and community.

Her voice-over work can be heard in Birmingham's Back to Back Housing Museum, as the voice-of-the-virtual-room: this is housed on the ground floor and enables persons who cannot climb the stairs to experience the museum. Natalie was delighted to be asked to do this voice-over by Elbow Productions.

In 2019, she developed a musical concert, with extracts from various musicals inter-weaved with stories from her own life, for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This show has received positive reviews (Reading and Edinburgh, UK). It was described as a 'feel-good' show. Natalie also produces theatre and has been awarded grants by Arts Council England to produce her own adaptations with music of 'A Christmas Carol' and 'Ready, Set, Read: Jack and the Beanstalk'. When producing, she focuses on making work that is accessible and always performs before test audiences prior to public performances. Her production of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' which toured libraries and arts centers in the summer of 2023 received excellent feedback and enabled young people in some of the most deprived areas in Reading, UK to access professional theatre and workshops . A music video was made alongside the production, featuring local artists, and a live-stream was produced for the visually impaired.

Natalie also works as a writer and producer.

She was the original &#39;Mia&#39; in this one-woman class-room play for the Nottingham Playhouse, working with writer Nick Wood and director Andrew Breakwell. Representing the Playhouse at an international theatre festival in Dresden, Germany, she also toured the play with the Thalia Theater in Hamburg.
