…Boston, MA to Jamaican immigrants, Nyree Neil is a SAG-AFTRA union member who was always destined to entertain. Her love for the arts started early: attending the Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts from the age of 6 and participating in several stage productions, starting private piano lessons shortly thereafter, and rigorously training in voice and dance techniques at the Boston City Lights. 

 

This Howard University School of Business grad had a successful career in corporate America while remaining active in local Washington, DC dance and step groups. She was also a founding staff member of the Capital Fringe Festival. Eventually, Nyree left the business world behind in 2011 to move to Los Angeles and pursue her heart's true calling. 

 

She is now a full-time screen and voiceover actress who can also be found with writing, directing and producing web series, shorts and the sketch comedies. She is a teaching artist and studio administrator for Actors Play LA, as well as providing private coaching and self-taping services for her fellow actors. Nyree is also co-chair of HBCU in LA’s Summer Film Intensive, an immersive film production program, under the umbrella of the Entertainment Industry College Opportunity Program in partnership with Netflix. EICOP’s innovative pipeline development programs are designed to provide access and opportunity to underrepresented students of color and help meet the entertainment industry’s diversity goal of employing a workforce that is reflective of the diverse communities it serves.

 

She currently resides with her 4 pet children in Hollywood, CA.
