Studio Notes

There’s a particular kind of silence that lives in a recording booth. Not the absence of sound — more a stillness that hums just beneath the surface. I’ve grown to like it. It reminds me of early mornings in the city before people are fully awake. That pause before the day begins. A portion of my voice work takes place in that quiet. Standing behind a microphone, shaping tone and meaning through the voice alone. It doesn’t demand the full-body inhabiting of film or theatre ac

Los Angeles var på mange måder fremmed for mig i begyndelsen. De brede boulevarder, palmerne og lyset over byen føltes langt fra København. Jeg var flyttet dertil for at studere skuespill på Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, men det første, der slog mig, var ikke arbejdet — det var følelsen af at befinde mig i en by, hvor alt bevægede sig lidt hurtigere. Byen har i mange år tiltrukket skuespillere fra hele verden, og for mange internationale skuespillere bliver byen et

Vancouver is often called “Hollywood North,” and while living and working in Canada, I had the chance to see that world up close. For many actors considering acting in Canada, Vancouver is often the first place they encounter, and as a Danish actress in a new country, the Canadian film industry initially felt both exciting and slightly mysterious. Can international actors work in Canada? Yes, international actors can work in Canada, but the path depends on your visa status a

There’s a moment in voiceover work that never quite stops feeling strange. The red light comes on, and everything goes quiet — except for you. No faces. No blocking. No one else to move the scene forward.Just breath, timing, and a line that might only last three seconds. In the booth. This week I was back in a recording booth in Copenhagen. Standard headphones, water bottle within reach, a lamp in the corner that always looks like it came from someone’s childhood bedroom. The

The coffee was cold before I remembered to drink it. I’d made it with good intentions — fairly strong, with whole milk (I’m Danish, after all) — before settling in to finish a sketch I’d started the night before. I had the idea just as I was getting into bed, so I’d scribbled it in the margin of an old notebook, hoping it would still make sense in the morning. It mostly did. Most mornings like this take place in my studio in Copenhagen, where I divide my time between acting w

I don’t do much on paper in the beginning. When I start preparing for a role, I usually sit with it quietly for a while. I don’t try to solve the character or map out every detail of their past. I’m usually listening for something simpler. A way of moving through the world. A rhythm. A kind of silence. Some preparation methods are about building — adding layers. For me it often begins with removing noise. I try to notice small things. Does she hesitate before speaking? Is her

Working as an actress primarily on screen, has taught me that some of the most important parts of the process happen away from the camera — in conversations with directors, in rehearsals, and in the moments between takes . A performance rarely comes from the actor alone. It develops through collaboration: between actor and director, but also through the atmosphere on set and the rhythm of the production itself. Over time, I’ve come to see those collaborations as one of the mo

Travel has always been a part of my life, but my journey to Los Angeles began with a very specific purpose: studying acting. I grew up in Copenhagen in a creative family where music, drawing, and storytelling were simply part of everyday life. But it wasn’t until my late teens that I began seriously pursuing acting as a profession. After finishing high school as an exchange student in Northern California, I returned to Denmark with a clear goal. I applied to the Lee Strasberg

Leaving Denmark Travel has always had a way of sharpening my attention. Airports, train stations, café windows — places where people pause for a moment before moving on. Even now, working professionally as an actress and illustrator, I often find myself quietly observing these small rhythms of everyday life. I grew up in Denmark, where summer holidays meant countryside drives, visiting relatives, and the occasional trip across the Swedish border. The world felt close, but sti
