ABOUT ME

Hey there! Welcome to the website of the great and powerful Julia Taylor! cue flashing lights Let’s get into it…

​

I was born in Buffalo NY, and before you ask about the football team I only lived there for three years, before moving to Utah. After forcing my friends to play “auditioning” every day during recess in 5th grade, I finally auditioned for my first musical and the rest is history. From an overly dramatic bridesmaid to the King of Naples, I’ve played roles that require presence, authority, and bold choices. I’ve been told I bring a commanding presence and intensity to the stage. My strength lies in digging into complex characters, giving a project 130%, and embracing new challenges.

​

While I am proud to be an artist now, it wasn’t always that way. After graduating high school, I was planning on studying law and leaving acting behind me, but I grew depressed and had a hard time seeing a way forward. That led me to audition for UVU’s BFA program, where I earned my degree in Musical Theatre. That program saved my life. Without storytelling, I wouldn’t have been able to find the beauty in the world again. Now, I want to help tell those kinds of stories.

​

I hope to work on as many new works as possible. While I have a strong background in theatre (which I love), I’m excited to branch into film and voiceover. In fact, that love for films eventually led me to write my own screen plays. Eventually I hope to create independent films of my own, and to contribute to more conversation around body inclusivity in the industry.

​

Well, that’s the overview. Now it’s time for me to get back to sculpting random trinkets, playing my guitar, and digging into whatever project I’ve become obsessed with. I’d love to obsess over yours too, hit me up and let’s chat!
