Hi, I’m a freelance actor, copywriter, and voice-over artist, based in Amsterdam. With a Degree in Performing Arts, I am as creative as I am versatile. I help brands and creators tell stories that stick — from the first draft to the final result, in a variety of formats. Written, performed, presented, recorded, or sung from the rooftops with (utterly unnecessary but wonderfully entertaining) choreography.

I am British but have always lived internationally. If I’m not writing or acting, you can find me flying in an aerial hoop or making Tiny Theatre.

I have over 12 years of experience in film, theatre, TV, commercials, presenting, and voice-overs since graduating with a degree in Acting & Performing Arts. I’m a native (RP) English speaker but work comfortably in American and other dialects. I am experienced and adept at working on Dutch-speaking and multi-lingual sets.

Notable credits include playing Suzy in Videoland’s series Sleepers, Deirdre in the international Nollywood movies The Wedding Party 1 & 2, Sam in Mum, Dad, Meet Sam, and Ellie in The Conversations. There are also plenty of shorts, brand films, commercials, and E-learning videos.

Theatre credits include playing all female roles (Annabella/Margaret/Pamela) in the 1930s spy comedy, The 39 Steps at the CC Amstel (2021), Vicki/Brooke in Noises Off (2019), The B Word: A Brexit Play (2017) with Orange Theatre Company, and Elizabeth Bennet in a Hong Kong production of Pride and Prejudice (2014). UK Touring productions include Lady Havisham in Havisham, a devised play I co-wrote and directed (2010), and Estella in West Side Story with Full-Tilt Theatre. I graced the Hong Kong stage musicals, playing Polly Brown in The Boyfriend and Lois Lane in Kiss Me Kate.

Acting showreel

Presenting & commercials

“A stand out performance from Daniella Down, who is as important as the olive in a martini, as she shakes up each scene much to the audience’s delight.”

“Daniella Down is the Queen of Comedy come to life. Her physical comedy is continuous, and she brings a dry wittiness to her character.”

“For Down — the actor, writer and energetic circus trainer — working in Nollywood made her realise that this was her opportunity to use her voice, to make people take notice of stories that cross cultural boundaries.”
