Irene Lay Actress
Hello!
I'm an Italian actress, but I act in English too. I work on the stage, in films and music videos. I work also as a voice over talent, I have my home studio and work with other professional studios.
I'm also a professional musician, I play the harp and I worked with several orchestras, chamber music ensembles, folk groups or as a soloist.
I like drawing, painting and writing; I practice boxe and I practiced karate and horse-riding.
Art is my life and acting is my biggest passion. I commit all myself if I have to study a character or to face any kind of artistic work. I learn quickly and I love experimenting new things as well as giving people a part of me. I find that acting is an opportunity for introspection, personal growth and discipline training as well as a spread of our knowledge, ability and sensibility in order to give something deep to the public.
Let's contact me to work together!
