Hi there.
My name is Amanda Winston (formerly Amanda Lynn Meyer), pronouns she/her, and among many things, I am an actor.
Originally from central Indiana, I graduated cum laude with a BA in Theatre from Butler University where I cultivated an interest in unconventional theatre. I'll never turn down an old fashioned proscenium or a little Neil Simon, but as an artist I get incredibly excited working on edgy new works, fresh interpretations of old standards, and getting my hands dirty devising and workshopping something totally unique in non-traditional theatres or found spaces. As an artist, pushing the envelope and challenging norms and conventions through transformational storytelling is my bread and butter. On camera, I hold a special place in my heart for the horror genre and character-based original storytelling. With VO, just about anything goes. My theatre experience has brought me to really enjoy the uptick in radio dramas popping up all over the podcast world and I love any chance to create a totally new wacky voice or try out or learn a new accent. My brand is an intimidating leader and intelligent professional who can make a point with poise, the busy soccer mom trying to see the positive, and the feisty survivor with an attitude who has seen it all - I love being a #ScreamQueen in horror films and jump at the opportunity to work in the sci-fi and fantasy genres as well.
As an actor, creator, voiceover artist, and collaborator it is my objective to sow truth and authenticity into everything I create or perform. By telling and sharing stories I provoke my audiences to listen more deeply, think a little differently, and embrace whatever it is they're feeling. Through creation and collaboration we can find new truths and experiences as we share and build community.
When I'm not buzzing around the Windy City, taking classes, auditioning, or working a gig, you will usually find me in my fuzzy slippers, working away at home on various client's marketing efforts as a project manager. I've also become quite the tea nerd during my time here in Chicago. Seriously, if you want to talk or taste tea, hit me up.
So what else should you know about me?
I'll end with a quote from Whoopi, because, why not?
"An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything."
