Dana is a female actor, age range ~45-60+, a member of SAG-AFTRA, but not Equity. Typically cast as authority figures, leaders, rabblerousers, moms, cops, doctors, lawyers, judges, scientists, etc. She works hard on every project, brings no attitude to the set, and has works from a place of empathy and humility. She is organized, reliable, honest, brave and very crazy. Saves all the drama for the camera/stage, loves finding order in chaos, chaos in order, and the truest perspective possible for her characters.

Dana has been acting since childhood, and is trained in multiple acting methods - Stanislavski, Meisner, etc. She is a morphing character actor who has often played characters who may seem grouchy, mean, or otherwise unpleasant. To avoid having to stay in those characters' demeanor off-camera and off-stage, and to make her work environments friendly and productive, she changes demeanor when out of character, and is naturally a modest, amiable, intelligent person who approaches character building as she does software building, always looking for any bugs to fix until the product is as workable as can be achieved.

Dana has an extensive vocabulary that includes technical computer jargon and scientific terminology. She is skilled with dialects, character voices, improv gibberish and languages (Spanish, some German, a bit of some others). Her sound repertoire includes realistic bird noises and baby cries, and beatbox rhythm. She's an instrumental musician (bass, drums, guitar) and singer (alto/mezzo/tenor). She loves kids and animals, has a current passport, and can be a local hire in Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, Orlando, and other cities.

Dana's resume, photos and demos are available on several online casting sites, such as Actors Access, Voice123, Now Casting, IndieClub, and others. The last section of this page includes links to those sites, as well as her record on IMDb and her profiles on ReverbNation and social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, etc.
