Amelia Sciandra

I am so glad you are here!

My name is Amelia Sciandra. I’m an American based in London. I moved here originally in 2014 to get my MFA in Acting from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. I graduated with Distinction in 2016, took Godspell to the Edinburgh Fringe with a company I founded (Borderline Confrontational) and then my visa ran out and I had to go back to the US.

I spent about two years as a Drama and Spanish teacher in Durham, North Carolina, scrimping and saving and in a very long distance relationship until my lovely British husband, Chris, and I got married in 2018. After a few months apart to secure my marriage visa, I came back to England in May of 2018 and Chris and I moved into London in August of the same year.

Now living in South London, I am an actor, director, educator, coach, writer, and producer. I like to call myself a multidisciplinary maker. I work for Guildhall Young Artists as their Projects and Administration Coordinator and freelance as an artist doing voiceover, TV, teaching and directing at drama schools, medical role play work, and anything and everything in between. I am repped by City Actors Management for acting and Spoken4 for voice. I also do consulting work in the leadership and management sphere and hold a CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Management. 

I am the chair of the board for American Actors UK, an organisation devoted to the visibility of American and Canadian actors with legitimate accents who have right to work in both their home country and the UK.

My play Glorious, but Brief is available for production. I staged my one-woman show 13 Children in London in 2023 and am searching for a company to produce my play My Friend Is A Playwright. I’ve also written a short film that I hope will go into production in 2026 and I’m in pre-production for another short, my first as director.

I dearly love to laugh and I love the theatre more than most people like to eat. I love to travel, read, and get very invested in TV and movie characters.
