About
My name is Rebecca Hanser and welcome to my site.
I am an actress professionally trained at Drama Centre London in Screen Acting (Stanislavsky, Method, Meisner and Chekhov). I have also worked as a stage actress for several years including theatre, stage plays, dance performance and improv comedy. Furthermore, I have completed my training in MoCap at Target 3D and am now also active as an actor for Motion Capture Performance and Fight Stunts.
My business is a hybrid of services that consists of two parts: the first is the performer's part and contains all my work in Acting, Modelling. Presenting & Hosting. The second part introduces Visualise Productions and is the part of my business that focuses on my work in filmmaking, directing, writing, producing, editing and videography.
Here you can find an overview of clients I have had the pleasure to work with or am still actively collaborating with.
Feel free to get in touch for any collaborations or consultation. I'd be happy to have a chat!
