Teacher Bio: Brielle Jobe

Brielle has called the stage "home" since she was a child, beginning her acting career and training at just eight years old. She's since been in over 50 productions plus countless miscellaneous sketches and side projects after beginning improv training at age 13 and playwrighting at 14. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre Performance at Catawba College - where she served as the captain of their improv team and completed her thesis entitled: Found in Translation: Multi-lingual Theatre in the Fight Against Xenophobia, in tandem to premiering an original play, Beyond the Grave. She's trained with companies like Strangemen & Co., the Maryland Ensemble Theatre, and CenterStage (Baltimore, MD USA). With almost two decades of experience under her belt as actor, playwright, choreographer, and technician, Brielle is the recipient of an Irene Ryan nomination for her portrayal in the titular role of Dr. Cecilia Payne Gaposhkin in the world premiere of Sister of the Stars (Salisbury NC, USA 2018), a professionally produced playwright, and now serves here in Barcelona as the host of two open mics, a resident player on two improv teams, a dialect/acting coach, and the Technical Director of Lighting at the BCN Studio.

What people think about Brielle's teaching

"Brielle is a talented and professional coach with a wide range of knowledge on stage presence, acting and storytelling which all informed the development of my comedy show for Edinburgh Fringe."

- Michelle Ahern, "We've Had a Good Run"

“Before Brielle's lessons, I had no idea how certain American sounds were made, and at times, my English wasn’t clear on stage when doing character voices. Thanks to her, I now feel much more confident in my speaking, both in daily life and while performing.”

- Thierry Lapouge, Typical Adult Behavior
