@mashapruss
Actress and voice-over host delivering authentic performances in film, theatre, and television.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m an actress with extensive stage experience, often cast in lead roles for productions including work at La MaMa Theatre (including titles such as Death and Nina) and Steps Theatre (including Anna Sergeevna and Masha).
I also bring my on-camera presence to film and television—appearing in the NYU student film Let’s talk about love and working as a Russian host/reporter and host on programs such as Discover America and News 1+1 Channel. My voice-over and commercial work includes brands like Rosetta Stone, Google Maps Russian voice over, and GM Voices, along with cable and remote-control commercial work.
I trained at Kiev State Institute of Theatrical Art (acting for Film and Theatre), completed the AIDA acting workshop in NYC, and took a monologue class at the Mikhail Chekhov Institute. I bring fluent communication supported by my native Russian and Ukrainian, English fluency, teleprompter comfort, singing, and basic guitar skills.
