JD Hunt
Hi, I'm a British Actor / Presenter / Writer / Casting Assistant who trained at Birmingham School of Acting and The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. I've worked across theatre, film & TV for over ten years.
I've worked in Theatre including in London's West End; The Royal Opera House, The Queen's Theatre, The Hope Mill Theatre & The Young Vic Theatre (twice), Embarrassing Sex Story of the Year on Channel 5 / 5Star & Patterns: Reverse Catfish currently on Amazon Prime. I've also worked as a Presenter for some of the biggest brands in the world.
I am an excellent sight reader & always put the utmost effort into assisting anyone I read for. I've self taped with friends for years for an array of projects & genuinely enjoy doing them. I love unearthing the subtext of the scene and helping my fellow actor hone their objective, exploring the essence of the scene & play with the characters.
I'll approach working with you in the same way I prepare my own texts for auditions & jobs; with care, thoughtfulness & giving you exactly what you need to react to. I have done numerous tapes myself & as a reader using WeAudition so I know my way around (I'm also an MVP for my sins).
I look at self taping from either side as a learning experience and a strengthening of my own skillset. I'm easy going, like to think I give helpful advice & am always happy to play around & get the best out of any texts , be them Shakespeare or the latest TV show. My aim is for us to nail the perfect tape & for you to leave happy.
Hearing back from community members who have booked jobs from working with me brings me so much joy.
If you want to book in, hit me up on social media (links below) or email me at jdhunt@jdhunt.co.uk & I'd be happy to make time to suit you as best as possible.
Thanks for reading & I look forward to working with you.
