Helena Mitchell's CV
About me
Height: 5"6.5' | Eye Colour: Blue/Green | Hair: Shoulder length, Brunette.
Helena is a fun, engaging, intuitive, reliable and efficient performer having worked in all aspects of the industry from TV commercials and voiceovers to Milkshake Live UK tour and choreography. However, Helena is a very skilled comedy actress, with impeccable comic timing and experience with comedy improv and standup.
With a BA tons degree in theatre and extensive theatre and screen credits, Helena is a versatile actor who’s dedication and passion for all aspects of the industry shines through her work.
Helena has a passion for kids theatre and tv, having toured with both Milkshake Live and Cebeebies shows, she has also co-written and produced an interactive live kids theatre show that was performed at G Live in Guildford. Helena would like to continue writing for kids shows and has recently set up her own education adventure online free workouts for kids aged 2-7 called Smellena’s Workouts. Providing creative and fun ways for kids to keep fit during COVID-19, whilst keeping up with their education learning, numeracy, shapes and colours. (Head to www.smellenasworkouts.com for more information and example workouts)
Helena has a huge passion for comedy, something she wishes to focus more on with screen comedy work. Helena regularly performs with two comedy improv groups and performs 10-15 min standup routines at gigs and events around the South-West. Improvisation has enabled Helena to step into roles last minute, meaning she is abatable and calm under pressure. "The actress playing the White Rabbit was hospitalised so Helena Mitchell (who also plays the Caterpillar) has taken on the role at a day’s notice and she gives possibly the strongest and most believable performance." (Remote Goat David Phipps-Davis)
Helena is a very reliable, efficient, easy to work with and direct person, whose bubbly infectious personality provides a fun relaxed yet focused environment to work in. She is a fantastic self motivator and loves working with different people to achieve what is best for the production. Previous employers have said she "is a fantastic member of the team and a joy to have in the rehearsal room". She is also passionate about bringing theatre to all members of the community and regularly hosts and organises charity fundraising concerts and evenings of variety entertainment.
