PERSONAL PRESENTATION RINNA PAATSO A versatile talent in both acting and singing, the actress Rinna Paatso has made her career through multiple productions for theater and film. Best known for her capability of bringing musical roles alive and her ability of blending singing and acting flawlessly not only on the stage but also through voiceover work in animation she made her acting debut at the early age of 8 when she starred in the tv--series Meille Tulee Vauva for the Finnish Broacasting Company in 1977. In 1979 Rinna planted her musical roots at the Johanneshov Arena in Stockholm. witnessing Abba live for the first time an experience that she would never forget, and an experience that fuelled her to start pursuing a career that would combine music with stage acting. The move towards becoming an actor that blends music with her art became a step more real in 1986 she received a part in a music video for the famed Finnish artist Pave Maijanen in his hit video Would You? In 1988 Rinna started her studies at the Theatre Academy of Finland, and was immediately offered work in the form of voiceovers. Her distinct clear voice had gotten the attention of dubbing and voiceover companies and thus she began to work as a voice both singing and talking-- for multiple animation series and movies in her spare time a sidejob that would later make her the sound of many a Disney film and even the voice of Bart Simpson! After graduating in 1992 Rinna took the route of a freelancer artist. Though she worked two years in the Turku City Theatre, she has always felt the need to be able to choose what really interests her, leading her to choose distinct, interesting productions instead of settling for schedules and certainty. This need for variety and challenges has also led her to produce her own music influenced stage plays. All in all Rinna s career has been focused mainly on musicals and revue plays she has a keen feel on where her strengths lie and is not afraid to show what she s made of! Right now, besides being one of the top three leading voices used in tv-- commercials, jingles and radio, Rinna has been working on both serious acting work and on a major production musical Most recently she played the starring role of Mrs. Johnstone in the musical Blood Brothers receiving praise from the critics. Besides stage acting, she has been hosting radio shows at two leading Finnish radio stations, and starring in the TV series Naisia Kaupungilla by the famed Finnish director Veikko Aaltonen. Rinna is a talent bursting with energy always wanting to learn more, always wanting to challenge herself!
