Emily Renison

a 5'3" actress vocalist and songwriter,
with a BFA, a pisces sun, and big feelings

heres the short version...

I started performing right in my living room... but with a lights and camera crew! I was a part of a local reality show called "The It Moms" on Better TV that featured my family for a few years, launching me into my love of performing. I soon upgraded to my driveway, belting Hannah Montana, of course, for an audience of very tolerant neighbors (or as I knew them, loyal fans). Since then, I’ve channeled that same passion into chasing work that’s messy, honest, and alive.I graduated from Hofstra University with a BFA in Theatre Arts (Performance) and a Minor in Musical Theatre. Over the years, I’ve portrayed characters from quirky caterers and women in reinvention to Shakespearean roles across age, gender, and language, as well as stubborn farm girls and playful twelve-year-olds. Every role has asked me to access something different. Whether it be comedic timing, vocal agility, classical grounding, or just plain emotional vulnerability, I try to meet each one with curiosity and a grounded sense of play.I also write my own music! I put my full heart into each word, and I hope to make people feel a little less alone. Songwriting has become a space where I can process, connect, and create something that feels honest to me.I’m drawn to characters who are emotional, messy, too big, too weird, and too much!! I bring care, curiosity, and just a little bite into every room I walk into.
