About Veronica

Hello, I’m Verônica Sarno, an award-winning actress, director, voice-over artist, and acting & voice tutor with over sixteen years of professional experience across Brazil, the UK, and Europe.

I trained at Escola Superior de Artes Célia Helena (Brazil), Drama Centre London (UK), and the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute (Russia). My work is deeply rooted in the Stanislavski System, and my teaching blends vocal and acting techniques with practical, real-world experience.

Alongside my acting career, I discovered a true passion for teaching. My sessions are dynamic, supportive, and tailored to each individual. I draw on a wide range of performing arts techniques to help people communicate with confidence and authenticity, whether for public speaking, job interviews, university preparation, presentations, meetings, auditions, or personal speeches.

Teaching Experience

I have taught extensively in drama schools, universities, and professional settings, delivering lectures and workshops for theatre companies, educational institutions, and organisations. My teaching experience spans children, students, emerging artists, and established professionals, both within the performing arts and beyond.

My work includes:

- Scene study and audition preparation
- Drama school and conservatoire applications
- One-to-one coaching for actors and non-actors
- Interview, presentation, and public-speaking coaching (academic, professional, and public-facing)

I currently teach Performing and Production Arts at a college in London, where I work with students on acting technique, voice, presence, and performance skills. Alongside my academic role, I run my own theatre company and regularly deliver workshops and private coaching in communication and public speaking for corporations and business professionals.

I work with a wide range of clients, including directors, doctors, lawyers, teachers, university students, entrepreneurs, and corporate professionals. Drawing on acting, voice, and movement training, I help individuals communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity, whether on stage, in the boardroom, or in public-facing roles.

Acting Experience

As an actress, I’ve worked in theatre and film productions in Brazil, England, and Hungary. Credits include the award-winning two-year national tour of the Brazilian production of Spur of the Moment by Anya Reiss, Before the Sun Rises at Theatre503, and feature films Insanity, Haraam, and Anonymous, now available on Amazon Prime (UK).

Voice-Over Work

I have voiced projects for clients including LinkedIn, Unilever, the British Council, Cultura Inglesa, Rexona, and Creative Listening, working across corporate, educational, and commercial platforms.

  • When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?

    I started my journey as an actress when I was 15 years old. After a severe injury in one of my knees, I had to stop my training to become a ballerina. To put my creative mind into work my mother decided to enrol me in an acting course for teenagers and that's when my passion for acting begun. During one of the productions, an actor spotted me on stage and asked me if I ever considered being a professional actress. He mentored me and after a few years I went to Drama School. I loved it so much that I decided to graduate as a Bachelor of the Performing Arts and later as a Master of Classical Acting in England, where I graduated with distinction.
  • Which artists or works affect you the most?

    Konstantin Stanislavski and Anton Chekhov. I'm fascinated by how both of those artists conducted the Russian theatre to the Realism period. They had a "scientific" approach to acting. They observed and studied life. How humans think, behave, feel, react, walk, etc. That's what intrigues and fascinates me the most about this profession. Each script gives us a possibility to understand and explore different human conditions, psyche, physicality, inner world, spirit, soul. And those two artists where incredibly good at it, they gave us the tools to investigate and create the character.
  • What are the qualities and skills required to succeed in this area?

    Consistency, resilience, commitment, perseverance, proactiveness, humbleness, focus, resistance, passion, learning how to deal with rejection, a will to study and learn, know the value of hard work, be a team player, learning how to manage emotions, understand that it's a profession full of ups and downs.
  • What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?

    Learn that there will be periods of pause and time to rest. It's very important to rest to be able to carry on. Find your own self and essence inside this crazy industry. Constantly check in with yourself and meditate, reflect, be your best friend. Know that your career is not over just because not a lot has happened for a while. It's not about quantity, it's about consistency. It's a profession full of ups and downs and educating ourselves to stay balanced in every moment is the key. It's difficult, but it's something we need to constantly practice. Also, rest assured that you are not alone! You can always reach out to friends, family, fellow actors, and people from the industry that you trust. It's incredible how many people are in similar situations that we are in!
  • How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?

    It's where I feel whole, where I feel at home in myself, and I disconnect from what's not essential. I give myself permission to explore different parts of me. I feel free, healed, and happy.
  • What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?

    I'm very grateful and happy that I was able to establish my own Acting Coaching business. It was something I've always wanted to do since I was in Drama School.
  • Have you ever been surprised by a student, by their ability or quick progression?

    Yes! I'm always surprised in different ways by different students/actors. Each one of them is on their own journey and seeing them overcome themselves is the greatest thing. It doesn't matter how fast they achieve "results". It's about their commitment, the constancy in their work. When I see a student/actor engaged, trying to understand how things work, what's their path, what works for them, questioning, discovering new things, that's when I'm happy.
  • Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?

    Being open and remember that we are all constantly learning.
