Hi, I'm Luke Gasper, a professionally trained actor, musician, and director based in Sussex. With a background that spans acting, music performance, and directing, I've navigated through a variety of roles in the arts and media, from performing at large venues like Twickenham Stadium to directing shows in the London and Brighton Fringe. I have a rich experience in education as well, having served as the Director of Drama for 18 years at Hurstpierpoint College. Today, I work as a freelance presentation consultant through my company Voice & Presence Coaching, contribute as a bid writer for The Arts Fundraisers organisation, and I am excited to be launching a media production company, Dr Tench Media, later this year. I thrive on helping individuals and groups find their voice and presence while continuing to engage in exciting creative projects.
