Fran Burgoyne

actor | voice artist

Hi

I'm Fran

I'm an actor, voice artist and drama practitioner based in West Berkshire. Originally from South London, I have a chemistry degree, worked in science publishing for a little while and then retrained as an actor at East 15 Acting School. These days I can mostly be found making faces and doing voices in a booth, onstage or in a classroom. And occasionally while on my bike.

Nice things people have said about me

The Stage

As Ariadne, Fran Burgoyne sails into the comedy, exuding Edwardian vanity, and yet the ruthlessness with which she destroys her ineffectual husband is brutal"

The Evening Standard

There’s also nicely pitched work from Fran Burgoyne as their sister-in-law Natasha, who transforms from awkward outsider into monstrous despot — and seems a chilling embodiment of the banality of evil.

A Younger Theatre

The tour leader, played with patronising comicality by Fran Burgoyne, reeks of artificiality"

The Financial Times

Blossoming from awkward incomer to imperious opportunist: the moment when she callously dismisses the old nanny is shocking."

UK Film Review

Burgoyne delivers a standout performance as the E. M. U.: not only convincing us of her true robotic identity, but also of her counterfeit humanity.

OffWestEnd Reviews

Burgoyne gives a remarkable impersonation of a young girl, finding a combination of gaucheness and innocent energetic enthusiasm in that is very endearing
