Rachel Luttrell
Rachel Luttrell studied Shakespeare at Oxford. Studied at prestigious Russian Academy Ballet School and studied piano at The Royal Conservatory of Canada.
I have been acting since I was in high school. Perhaps even before then if you count all the times I "acted" like I was sick in grade school to get out of going, (those were some of my best performances). Happily, I have worked fairly consistently, however, the audition process (necessary to getting work) has never been one that I have enjoyed. My shyness can sometimes make me quite nervous. Surmounting that obstacle again and again has in itself made getting work slightly less than "easy".
