TESS WHITTON as “AMELIA”
Tess is an enthusiastic
Year Ten student - at least, she’s enthused when it comes
to performing. She lives with her mum, dad and younger sister
and says that “the best acoustics in my house is in the
toilet, the best place to do homework is under my desk with the
music up loud and the best place to act is in the kitchen whist
dinner is being cooked”. Her sister complains of a permanent
headache, pleading for a moment’s silence.
An actor 24/7 at home, she has found it challenging, but enjoyable to expand her skills amongst friends and fellow aspiring actresses (as the case has become). She is attending Toorak College and has been involved in many areas of school life, such as debating, performance (dance, drama and music), tennis, swimming and softball.
Since she could talk, she has loved singing. At the moment, jazz is her favourite style and she has performed many solos at school and in the community. Recent daredevil pursuits have curtailed her guitar playing and made saxophone difficult, due to a broken arm - “Lucky I have a voice!”. A career in acting and music is her goal for the future, and she hopes to be something between Angelia Jolie and Kate Cebrano.
