Hi! I’m Anna Vainio and
I love improvising musicals!
I graduated as an actor from Guildford School of Acting, studied musical theatre at Oxford School of Drama as well as musical improvisation with Showstopper The Improvised Musical. I am currently a performer and artistic director at the Music Improvisation Theatre Sointi.
In addition to improvising musicals I have been trained and enjoy acting for camera as well as acting on stage and working with a script.
Showreel of Anna Vainio.
“Sami Lanki, Anna Vainio and Timo Mann perform splendid situation comedy in Mika Walteri’s Rakas Lurjus on Tervasaari. (…) the charming Anna Vainio (…) in her boy/girl role is a spitting image of Elina Pohjanpää in Toivo J. Särkkä’s early film in the 1950’s.
“Sami Lanki (vas.), Anna Vainio ja Timo Mann tekevät mainiota tilannekomediaa Mika Waltarin Rakkaassa lurjuksessa Tervasaaressa. -- hurmaava Anna Vainio -- on poika/tyttöroolissaan kuin ilmetty Elina Pohjanpää Toivo J. Särkän varhaisessa elokuvassa 1950-luvulla.”
