Shane Joseph – Actor/Musician with Shakespeare Gold and Platinum Awards from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
From cryptic to menacing villains, conversational strangers to frustrated teens, to comedic and quirky heroes, Shane has a diverse palette of imaginative voices.
With a solid background in Acting, having completed intensive courses at Advanced-level in Meisner, Contemporary, Improvisation and Shakespeare at the world-class Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, England, he then achieved the highly coveted RADA Shakespeare Award in both Platinum and Gold.
