biography
Claire Driver is a London‑based actor with a long, varied career across television, film, theatre, and photographic work. Originally trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute under Marianna Hill and David Bennett, she later built a strong foundation at The Lost Theatre with Cecil Hayter, before completing a BA (Hons) in Drama & English. Claire’s work is defined by grounded, naturalistic performance, emotional clarity, and detailed character instinct, supported by ongoing training at places like The Actors’ Centre, City Lit and Gravy for the Brain.
As an alto singer with strong harmony skills and a versatile range, Claire’s musical experience includes cabaret, band work, choir, singing telegrams, DJ hosting, karaoke hosting, and ensemble performance such as the Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast, and staged work at Theatre Royal Haymarket. She also works in voice performance and maintains a home studio equipped with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio Pack.
Claire has experience on the technical and creative side of production, having worked as an agency booker, and has directed and worked on sound and lighting at an amateur level and at Camden People’s Theatre and the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. This gives her a broad, respectful understanding of the creative process from multiple perspectives.
She has worked on performance art and artist‑film projects with Jane & Louise Wilson, Naomi Fitzsimmons and Ian Giles. Claire’s photographic experience spans editorial and commercial character work, including The Sunday Times, newspaper features, album artwork and promotional shoots, working with a range of established photographers.
Claire’s experience also includes TIE, work with online content creators, roleplay, and live corporate events across Europe.
Claire is known for her open-minded and collaborative approach, and an ability to bring authenticity and emotional clarity to both dramatic and comedic roles. She is flexible, reliable, and comfortable across a broad range of creative environments, both on and off camera.

A FEW Recommendations
"Little Voice":
...interaction with Sadie (Claire Driver) was particularly enjoyable while she [Marie] bossed her around the stage. Claire did a fantastic job of expressing emotions while remaining silent, using remarkable facial expressions similar to actors in silent films.
"How The Vote was Won & Other Plays":
Claire Driver... was playing Irish; I thought she was Irish... then, as Mrs Holbrook… with a whole different accent... her physicality changed so much you couldn't really tell she was the same person, which was just brilliant."
