Based in NYC
ABOUT ME
Toni Ann Barretta
I am based in New York City currently pursuing Acting and Modeling full time. I am a Fredonia State University graduate with a degree in Acting and English. I also have my certification in Neuroscience.
I have backgrounds in dance and gymnastics. I have experience with makeup and special effects makeup. I do all my own stunts. In my free time I enjoy working out, dancing to any 90's hip hop, and spending time in nature. I have been apart of two major dance ensembles, including CHICAGO and West Side Story. I have been apart of several films in background roles. I was apart of the NYSSSA School of Theatre class of 2016. I enjoy writing, self development, & creating as well. I love making people laugh and am always looking on the bright side of any situation. Life happens for you, not to you. You can find me in the studio creating choreography to my favorite tunes, in the gym flipping around, or at my desk writing my soon to be worldwide autobiography.
Looking forward to connecting.
