Named ‘Critic’s Choice’ when graduating from East 15 Acting School, Olivia has gone on to win multiple awards.  Recently, she played the elegant yet sardonic Miss Casewell in The Mousetrap (Vienna’s English Theatre) and she has two feature films, Visitor and Sorority, currently screening at international festivals. 
As a voice-over artist, she has a home studio and credits including Coca Cola and Oxford University Press. Olivia has a strong aptitude for accents and character voices.

Olivia has enjoyed getting behind the camera too. As an integral part of The Springhead Film Company, she has helped produce short films and music videos, and is developing projects as a director. Springhead’s debut feature film, Sorority, starring Kate Dickie (Prometheus, Witch), Sophie Kennedy Clark (Philomena) and Emily Haigh (Jane Eyre) is set for release soon.

"Witty, satirical script...Talented, energetic...' ****
THE SCOTSMAN
"...it was Olivia Chappell's performance as, amongst many other characters, Lady (Cherie) Macblair that stole the show. Whereas Shakespeare’s leading lady was conniving, calculating and ultimately cold-blooded, Chappell's Cherie is a far more sympathetic and warm character. Not to mention amusing."
INDIE HUB 
"Ever since I worked with Olivia Chappell on 'Who Will Save Us Now?', I've wanted to cast her in the lead role of something. She's an incredibly gifted actress who's willing to workshop scripts in rehearsal to get the most out of them. I pretty much wrote this script with her in mind from the beginning. She is no stranger to satire either, having recently featured in the Edinburgh Fringe hit 'MacBlair'."
CYRUS BALES - Writer/Comedian
"If presentation is everything, then Olivia Chappell…had everything. Immaculately presented, she also had that immediate allure of complete confidence in her own abilities. Given the difficult, indeed bizarre, piece…she managed to…intrigue and entertain…”
