Nora Armani Actress
I am a multilingual and multicultural actress. I speak English and French at native levels, Armenian (native level), Arabic (native level), Italian (fluent), Turkish (intermediate), and Russian (beginner, but I am told I have a perfect accent).
Visually, I come across as a European, Upscale, Sophisticated Character Actress, like Helen Mirren, and my look can range from exotic to everyday as needed, from brunette to platinum blonde. I am relatable but also have something unique and mysterious that attracts interest.
Essentially, I am someone who exudes confidence, intensity, and intelligence, accompanied by compassion and vulnerability.
Stereotypes I fit into are aristocrat, the other woman, wife/partner, older woman/younger man, heiress, and an independently wealthy woman.
Roles I can play or see myself cast as are Doctor, Lawyer, Judge, Therapist, CEO, Politician, College Professor, University Dean, School Principal, Interpreter, UN Delegate, Ambassador, Activist, Social worker, Art dealer, museum curator, Film Festival organizer, in one word, strong professional women.
