“Reflective, seductive, spirited, angry, stubborn, resistant, longing - this is a breakout role for Brentan whose performance choreographs these states of mind into a heartbreaking dance.”
I'm a New York-based, Meisner-trained actor, award-winning audiobook narrator & producer working in theater + audiobooks + film + commercials + voiceover.
Originally from Italy and fully bilingual - check out my voiceover demos - I grew up all over Europe before landing in New York. I'm a proud graduate of the 3-year Conservatory Training program at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and of the Academy Theatre Company, and of the Playhouse West 2-year Meisner Technique training program.
I've collaborated with some of New York's most exciting theater companies, performing in venues such as Cherry Lane Theatre, La MaMa, The Tank and many others.
I'm especially passionate about developing original work, and can usually be found originating roles in workshops & staged readings. Recent theater highlights include originating roles in the World Premiere of Erik Ehn's Clover at LaMaMa ETC directed by Glory Kadigan, in the World Premiere of The Journey I Never Made with Kairos Italy Theater at Cherry Lane Theatre, and in the World Premiere of Frank J. Avella's Lured and Vatican Falls.
I also co-directed and produced Lured’s sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Theater for the New City - hailed as ‘revelatory’, ‘potent and affecting’, and ‘one of the most arduous and exhilarating 80 minutes I’ve spent at the theater in recent memory.’ The production subsequently traveled overseas to be featured in the inaugural On Stage! American Theater Festival in Rome, Italy. Read all about Lured here. Frank and I partnered once again to co-direct the World Premiere of his epic revenge thriller Vatican Falls (The Tank, Fall 2022). Read all about it here.
I’m a prolific voiceover artist and the go-to Italian & English voice for many major brands and publishers. I can be heard voicing hundreds of voiceover projects - from national commercial campaigns to e-learning, ESL, corporate narration, looping and Earphones award-winning audiobooks. Read more about my beloved audiobook work and check out some of the Audible and New York Times-bestselling audiobooks I’ve narrated for Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan & many other wonderful publishers.
Latest on-camera projects include the short I’ll Meet You There for which I recently won Best Actress at the 2021 Reading Film Festival, Fig Jam which is currently screening and picking up acting awards at festivals from Paris to Portland, and national and international commercials.
In addition to my acting work, I’m a proud member of KIT - Kairos Italy Theater and helped produced many seasons of the company’s festival of Italian theater in New York, In Scena!, starting in 2013. I'm also a published theatrical translator whose Italian to English translations of some of Italy's top playwrights have been produced and performed internationally. I’ve been profiled by some of Italy’s top publications including Il Corriere della Sera, Il Sole24Ore, Panorama, and my work has been reviewed extensively in Italy & the US. Last but certainly not least, in 2020 I founded Fabler Audio, a boutique publisher & producer of Italian language audiobooks that continues the work I’m so proud of doing in this growing field.
