Emma Monk

Let’s see... I love ice-cream and sweet potato fries, I collect Russ Troll Dolls, I’m an Australian born Actor/Producer, I am part of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. 

I am passionate about using the medium of Film and TV to tell untold stories and educate society on social issues. I love delving into the psychology of characters, and portraying them with empathy.

I have a unique flare for comedy, if you're after a quirky best friend with epic facial expressions, that’s me. I believe in the power of humour and love to make people giggle, because laughing is so much better then crying... Cue my uncoordinated dancing to make you smile. :)

I started acting at the ripe old age of 21, I studied at Screenwise in Australia. Then I received a full ride scholarship to TVi Studios in the USA. From there I studied Sketch Comedy at The Upright Citizens Brigade and Improvisation at Groundlings.

I’ve been lucky (and tenacious) enough to work as and Actor in Australia, New Zealand, America and in Bollywood.

During the pandemic I decided to pass on my knowledge through coaching which I have found much success in. I now run TrueSCREEN Acting Studio alongside my partner. I have learned so much about myself from Coaching, and it has made me a better actor. I now am asked to be the acting coach on drama series and my students are working in the industry on well known TV shows and movies.

​

I look forward to hearing from you. And if I don't know you, I look forward to meeting you.
