Léna does the thing very few actors can do on a first take: she plays what the character is hiding rather than what she is saying. We printed take one more often than I have in fifteen years.

Who I am on a set
I trained at the Conservatoire and spent six years on stage before a casting director saw me in a 40-seat room above a bar in Belleville. Since then I have moved between theatre and film without choosing, because the two feed each other — the stage teaches you to hold a room for two hours, the camera teaches you that a thought is enough. My work tends toward women who are not comfortable being looked at. Directors send me scripts where the character says less than she knows. I am equally at home in French and English, and I read for roles in both without an accent coach in the room. I am currently in pre-production on a feature shooting in Marseille in the spring, and taking meetings for autumn theatre.

Workshops and reels
Audition Technique — Winter Workshop
$340
Two days, eight people, one room. We work your own material rather than set pieces: how to make a choice on camera in the first ten seconds, and how to hold a self-tape when nobody is reading opposite you. Includes a recorded session and written notes.
Self-Tape Notes — one scene
$90
Send one scene and I return a recorded fifteen-minute breakdown: what is landing, what is decoration, and three specific redirections you can film the same day. Turnaround is 72 hours.
The Weight of Rooms — director's cut
$12
The short in full, with the director's commentary track and eleven minutes of rehearsal footage that did not make the festival cut. Streamed, no download.
