I am an ACTRESS

My story begins over thirty years ago. In 1986 bright and intelligent Olya Aman was born. My family was very normal. Apart from becoming an orphan at age 3, my father drowning on a fishing trip, I had a moderately happy childhood.

By the time of the fundamental meeting with my vocation, WRITING and ACTING, I spent 11 years in a tiny village school, graduated from my country’s major university, read thousands of books and moved to the United States.

One fate-defining day a fellow actor went through my scribbles, sketches, short stories, etc., and spotted a vivid imagination along with a beautiful writing style. This is an example of how one person, by just believing in you, can change the course of your life forever and for the better. Since then, I write incessantly. Novels, short stories, film and TV show scripts, you name it – I’ve done it.

I AM AN ACTRESS! I strive to understand human nature in order to become super at being human, which is the essence of this profession. When I act as when I write I live the life of every character, see the world with her eyes, love and hate with the passion she feels.

Every actor is first of all a person with his or her unique personality. What am I doing with mine? I’m making every effort to emphasize it. I’m an extremely positive person with a wonderfully retentive mind. I listen with all my faculties and I respect with every fiber of my soul.

I’m a race car when it comes to work dedication. Nothing can get me in the red, I’m always moving. This drive has led me to a successful array of cinematic and theatrical roles. From thrilling movie stories to timeless Shakespearean classics, I’ve embraced the challenge of embodying the most complicated human beings. 

I love continuous learning, hence my knowledge of languages, voiceover techniques, and accents. But acting is special, I love it in a special way. I’m constantly immersed in a comprehensive array of courses and workshops. I want to focus on the authenticity of everything. Why kick, punch, or shoot without knowing the precise way of handling everything, especially your body? I’m proficient in fight training, martial arts, and dynamic action sequences involving stage combat and weaponry.

Larry Oliver once said, “Acting is the finest and most noble thing you can do with your life, unless, you’re lucky enough to be happy.” I Strongly Disagree! Come hell or high water, I will never trade acting on anything else.  No matter if the character is a barrel of laughs or a hopeless mental case – I’m in love and I’m happy.

I thrive on any film set. Make life easy for everybody. I’m never a problem, always a solution.
