About me

View profile
My name is Lotta Vainionpää and I am a 24-years-old actress based in Cork, Ireland. I am originally from Finland and have lived in Ireland for four years. As an actress, I have experience in theatre, film, improvisation, dance and puppetry. I am especially skilled in creating characters with strong physicalities due my experience in physical theatre, dance and improvisation. 
In addition, I speak many languages. I am fluent in Finnish and English and can speak Swedish very well. I have studied German for five years and Spanish for two years. On top of that, due to my extensive theatre training in Ireland, I have learnt to do many accents such as standard American, RP-English, Russian and Scottish to name a few.

Training

I studied theatre for four years at the Cork School of Music at MTU in Cork, Ireland. My training consisted of movement, voice work, accent work, dance and character work through different practitioner's methods such as Grotowski, Meisner and Stanislavski. In addition, I performed in four different plays during my time in university.

Moreover, I took camera acting classes for three years in Cork's most acclaimed film acting school called Actorsvision. During my time there, acted in various short films and performed a biographical performance of Cherie Currie from the Runaways.
