Shayla Belle

Hi, I’m Shayla, welcome to my website!!

I’m an actor and creative who is here to bring light and make a difference in our world through the art of storytelling.

The difference I bring

I help directors who want to break stereotypes and bring depth and authenticity to female led stories. I draw from my own experiences of being underestimated, using that truth to portray women who are strong, complex, and unapologetically real.

Throughout my work I am able to create space for my own individuality and raw experiences to shine through. This approach empowers me because I have a deep value for allowing women’s stories to be told and challenging the beliefs behind power and strength within our society.

about me

I am a Sydney-based actor who grew up in the small coastal town on the Central Coast of NSW. I am a recent graduate of The Australian Teachers of Dancing, where I attained my Diploma of Musical Theatre.

I have trained under industry professionals including Danny Raco, Todd Keys and AJ Holmes, and furthered my training in New York City, where I had the exciting opportunity to perform at 54 Below. I later expanded my studies at NIDA, strengthening my versatility across both stage and screen.

I made my TV commercial debut alongside Mitchell Starc in an Aussie Broadband campaign and have since worked with Micheal Gupta on Winter Swim, a project for PhotoPlay Films, as well as Bliss, an independent short film that debuted at the She Directed Film Festival. It was through this festival experience that my passion for creating my own work truly ignited, inspiring me to begin writing my own short film, which is currently in development.

I am inspired by…

  • Stories that are built on strength and courage
  • The willingness to break societal stereotypes
  • The ability to create space for topics such as mental health 
  • Female led productions and stories
