Suzie Steen is an accomplished American actress and voice artist with over 30 years of experience across the USA and Australia. Her work spans film, television, theatre, commercials, radio, audiobooks, and print. She has also worked extensively in casting, production, and set design. Suzie returns to Los Angeles regularly to stay connected with the industry.
Sponsored by Columbia Pictures during her years in Hollywood, Suzie trained with renowned acting coaches including Charles Conrad, Margie Haber, Stella Adler, Vincent Chase, and at “The Second City” in both Chicago and Los Angeles—home to many Saturday Night Live alumni.
In Australia, she played a supporting role in Mao’s Last Dancer, directed by Bruce Beresford, and held leading roles in several feature films. Her television appearances include Deadly Women, Blue Water High, The Alice, Always Greener, and Heartbreak High. Her voice work includes campaigns, animation, and video games such as Moby Games, Barney the Dinosaur, and other global titles.
Today, Suzie leads Suzie Steen Studios, where she mentors aspiring actors, often alongside other professionals from the entertainment industry. Her mission is to inspire, educate, and elevate the craft of acting through real-world experience and creative passion.
ON THE NIGHT, SUZIE WILL ALSO LAUNCH HER BOOK: “AUDITION JOURNAL & LOGBOOK”
It’s a pocket-sized BFF for staying sharp, showing up, and stealing the spotlight. Because your next big break deserves better than scribbles on a napkin.
What’s inside:
• Insider strategies, audition prep tools & casting director notes & ‘secrets’ about the kind of actors they want to work with. They’ll know within 7 seconds.
• Pages to track every audition, callback & win.
• Global insights on acting in Australia vs. the USA + live Q&A.
• Grab your copy at the event.
Because every audition isn’t just a shot—it's part of your story.
Make it one worth remembering.
