Francesca Turton

Francesca is nine years old and lives with her mum, dad and older brother in a quiet Yorkshire village.  Her older sister lives in London where Francesca can be based.

Francesca got the acting bug soon after starting school when she began rehearsing for the Nativity at the age of 4. A few weeks later she sang two solos on stage at a local folk festival. Her passion has only grown since then and her goal is to attend drama school when she reaches year 7.

At her happiest and most relaxed on set or stage, she is not precocious or 'stagy' in the slightest and has made many lasting friendships amongst the cast and crew, children and adults alike. Her positive attitude and professionalism means she has been asked to appear in further projects by several of the directors she has worked with.

She takes LAMDA lessons and has gained DISTINCTIONs in her exams and recently gained a DISTINCTION in her Grade 3 Musical Theare exam with LCM. She is now preparing for her Grade 4.

Francesca has many other hobbies too, including horse riding, gymnastics (grade 5), tennis, swimming (grade 3), Dance, reading, writing stories and playing the piano and guitar. As well as climbing trees, collecting insects and nature items, Francesca enjoys playing on her trampoline and climbing frame and attending Brownies and the Church club.

An intelligent, artistic, inquizative child, she has a reading age of 14+ and a high IQ.  She learns lines, lyrics and direction very quickly and is natural and confident in front of the camera.  She can portray emotion and is able to improvise and cold read. She is home schooled by her mum who is a qualified primary school teacher. Her favourite subject is history.

She loves animals of all kinds and has 3 pigmy goats, 4 chickens, 4 fantail doves, 4 fish and 2 rabbits as pets and spends a lot of time with her sister's dog Dexter or on the farm next door. She spent some time on a sheep farm where she learned how to command the dog to round up the sheep and drive them into a pen!  She has also taken part in several Zoo Lab activities where she handled snakes, rats, giant insects and reptiles.  She now takes part in the WWF adoption scheme and uses part of her earnings to sponsor endangered animals.
