Matt Grey

Matt Grey is an award-winning actor and educator with over forty years of industry experience. He has acted, directed and taught acting internationally in Australia, Britain, France, India, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore. He specialises in acting and voice training and has been managing the Diploma in Performance at LASALLE since 2015. Matt has developed the programme to educate artistic practitioners, who are socially responsive, critically engaged and independently creative.

In addition to his programme leadership and teaching practice, Matt acts regularly for Singapore's leading theatre companies. His acting debut was in British television at the age of sixteen. He later trained at the Guildford School of Acting conservatoire and has continued to perform ever since. In 2013, he was awarded 'Best Actor' in the 13th Life Theatre awards for his portrayal of Sigmund Freud in Freud's Last Session. 

Matt's research interest is in the integration of acting with voice and speech training. Over the last 25 years, he has assimilated established pedagogies into a process that promotes the actor's authenticity and credibility in realistic and stylised acting. Working in a multicultural context, his research enables his students to work across different modalities and develop a wide and flexible range of artistic responses in their work.

In a search for an ideal process, Matt is undertaking PhD research into the cognitive activities that influence both everyday behaviour and performance.
