Studying in French as a bilingual student was challenging. We read classic and contemporary literature in school, Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, plays by Moliere, La Planete des singes by Pierre Boulle, and even a French translation of du Maurier's Rebecca.I didn’t learn to read and write in English until I was 8, and studied at the British Council. Preparing for the IGCSE with a private tutor really brought the world of English literature and poetry alive for me. I discovered works by Shakespeare, Bronte, Larkin, and Fitzgerald.I have auditioned since I was 10, and have had my fair share of casting rejections, but I have valued the process, because each casting required preparation, performance and feedback from professional casting directors.I have learned valuable insights into characterization and improvisation from casting director Stephan Foekinos, explored devising and movement with Avant-garde theatre legend Judith Malina, and have worked on acting short stories with Susan Harloe, founder of Word for Word.Quantic Dream hired me as a character in their upcoming video game Beyond: Two Souls. Growing up in the age of video games, I was fascinated by the range of work involved in viewer-controlled story lines. I had a first-hand view of the extraordinary preparation and technical skill required to produce a game. My most rewarding role was as lead in a film teaser, which will hopefully go into production in London in 2014. I was given an excellent script and the creative freedom to interpret my character. Each day after school, I was able to practice and apply techniques I’ve had the privilege to learn from Hollywood on-location coach Marilyn Fried, a proponent of Stanislavsky and a student of Lee Strasberg.I was accepted as a member of the National Youth Theatre. Their 2011 summer program was my first experience acting in England, with English-speaking actors my own age. I went on to study music, libretto, and lyric writing with composer Derek Barnes and playwright Stephen Clark the following year with National Youth Music (Edinburgh) and then performed in the Burning Man project in Aberdeen as well as wrote the music for a major segment of the play. I have also performed in Beauty and the Beast at Dallam School and Parade at Brunel University,Music is an important part of my life. In 2011, I started voice training with Valerie Komar. I have been inspired and taught by baritone, Franco Pomponi and was fortunate to see him sing the role of Nixon in Nixon in China at the Theatre de Chatelet. Using YouTube to learn to play the guitar led to writing the original score for my school’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and finally to studying music composition at Brunel University and will have my first professionally recorded EP ready in February 2016.Michel Legrand's long time agent wrote:"I just played Chase's Main Title to SEVEN for an old friend of mine who has been a top LA studio musician for about 25 years and who has played for all the great film composers. Bottom Line: He was "blown away by it" comme on dites!!! He was over the top about it! And this is someone who is very tough on composers and really knows of what he speaks! In praise of it he used a lot of technical language most of which I didn't understand. He said that it "sounded like the work of a top Hollywood film composer!”
