I was born in Spain, specifically in Manzanares, in La Mancha region. Since I was a child I have had the ability to imitate other people´s voices and their physical expression. I used to enjoy myself being different characters especially at carnival, where I had the chance to go to the streets and talk to people as if I were a different person. Acting is my passion and it has always been part of my life. About my acting studies, I would like to highlight that I have been trained as an actress in renowned academies in Madrid (Metropolis, Acting Impact, Cuarta Pared, Juan Carlos Corazza, Marsillach Acting Academy), London (LAMDA “London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art”) and Dublin (The Gaiety School of Acting). Currently, I am based in Dublin where I have taken part in movies and commercials.

I studied languages because I love to know people from other countries and imitate their voices. I have always combined learning languages with acting. I am an English and Spanish lecturer, specialized in Language Didactics by Complutense University in Madrid, where I did a research project on teaching languages through acting techniques.

I am an English and Spanish lecturer, specialized in Language Didactics by Complutense University in Madrid, where I did a research project on teaching languages through acting techniques. That research project was a continuation of my experience as a Spanish teacher in Thames Valley University and The University of Reading (England), where I explored how acting techniques can facilitate the learning of a foreign language. Nowadays, I am teaching Spanish for adults through acting techniques in Dublin. Please send an email to anaviruiz@hotmail.com for more information.

Comedy
I have always enjoyed sketch comedy because actors can use a variety of short and daily routine situations, in which the characters behave weirdly. A good inspiration for sketch comedy is playing Improvisational Theatre, where plenty of these situations can appear. I have been trained and I have taken part in Short & Long Improvisational
I have always enjoyed sketch comedy because actors can use a variety of short and daily routine situations, in which the characters behave weirdly. A good inspiration for sketch comedy is playing Improvisational Theatre, where plenty of these situations can appear. I have been trained and I have taken part in Short & Long Improvisational Theatre in Madrid and Dublin; as well as, I have been instructed in writing comedy in Filmbase Institute (Dublin), The University of Reading (England), and Escuela de las Artes de la Comedia (Madrid). Apart from this comedy experience, I have been rewarded in two occasions (in English & Spanish languages) with the 3rd position in the Humorous Contest of Toastmaster International Madrid.
