Amelia Morse, MA & MFA
Hello, my name is Amelia. My pronouns are she/her/hers. Here's some information about the to help you get to know me better.Let's first start with how I even got into acting.I began acting literally when I was in preschool. I got my first speaking role in a preschool play about The Little Red Hen. (I was the Gossiping Goose.) It when I was 11 years old when I got cast as the lead in my 5th grade play. That's when I got "bit by the bug."It was then I knew I wanted to be an Actor.However, I really didn't get an opportunity to know more about the craft of acting until college. All I knew up until that point was that I had this deep desire to want to become an Actor.It's never been because I have a desire to be famous. It's because I love to tell a good story. I enjoy having an audience attention to help them escape from the world and be entertained and educated at the same time. Hence why teaching acting is something I love to do also.I got my first opportunity to teach Acting to non-Theatre majors for four years at the University of Southern Indiana. It was there that I not only cut my teeth, but learned how to teach people who had an interested in the craft, but didn't necessarily want to be an Actor. It taught me a lot and helped to develop systems I still use to this day. Without realizing it at the time, I was developing my own consent based, informative system for Actors.I didn't wan to just pick random monologues and scenes for my students. I wanted them to have a say in what they did too. I developed my own 'Monologue Wish List' system which I've continued to flesh out over the years as I've continued to learn and grow as an Actor and as an Educator.I bring consent based teaching to all of my classes, coaching, and events. I strongly believe that people do their best work when they are fully informed. Making sure my students and clients feel safe is my top priority. I call them 'Actor Values.'I continue to take classes on my own time to not only create a brave space at The Morse Actors Studio for all that work with me. I want the Actors that work with me to be able to take those tools with them into other acting spaces.I currently reside in northern Colorado with her family. I enjoy fishing, hiking, camping, and going to live theatre. I have a love for reading Actor Memoirs, theatre and acting related books, and books about leadership for soloprenuers. You can also always find a play with me wherever I go. I enjoy reading new scripts because I'm also looking to add new repertoire for my current and future acting clients.For more information please check out my Curriculum Vitae.Amelia Morse website.
