Selina Fonseca New York City Actress
Selina’s Story:
When Selina was 9 years old, she was cast as the lead in her school play. Thus began her impassioned love affair with story telling and the art of acting. After performing in 31 full-length and one act plays between grades 6-12 (ok, we get it she was a theatre girl) and several original musicals at San Antonio’s The Magik Theatre, she decided to attend N.Y.U.’s Tisch School of the arts.
After studying David Mamet and William H Macy’s acting technique at The Atlantic studio, and acting for television and film at Stonestreet studio, (and a brief sad attempt to be hipster), Selina graduated with a BFA and a minor in child and adolescent mental health studies from NYU. (She was also a cheerleader- yes, NYU had cheerleaders).
Upon graduation, she was fortunate enough to audition for and be cast in the ABC talent showcase. Where she met and worked with Marci Phillips and John Ort, and was directed by the wonderful Ted Sluberski, who also taught her at NYU and who continues to be her beloved acting coach of choice to this day.
Selina has also studied with Deborah Hedwall of Deborah Hedwall’s Acting Studio where she participated in an intense character study workshop in Tuscany. Selina has been part of several independent films that have been featured in The Big Apple film festival and various NYU film showcases. She has participated in several play reads including one she wrote with the New York-based Lone Star theatre company, and recently starred in the off-off broadway show, The Pet Play, by Princeton alum Noemi de la Puente.
Selina is currently signed with UGA Talent and Buchwald agency commercially.
