CORINNE    
        MEADORS

~ Official Bio~

Corinne Meadors is an American actor whose career has been shaped by a lifelong love of storytelling, music, and both the performing and visual arts. Having lived and worked on both the East and West Coasts - and spending five transformative years in London - she brings a broad perspective and an appreciation for the people, places, and experiences that have shaped both her life and her work.

Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Corinne spent much of her life on the East Coast before moving to San Francisco in the months following September 11, 2001. It was there that she met her husband, and together they built a life in Sacramento County that eventually included becoming a mother of two children. Motherhood became the most meaningful role of her life, changing the way she sees the world but at the same time immersing herself into an even deeper one.

Corinne credits her parents, Pierre and Leslie, with nurturing her creative spirit from an early age. They encouraged her and her siblings to pursue their individual callings, fostering a lifelong love of music, performance, and learning. It was her parents who initially introduced her to the stage.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she studied Art History and Vocal Performance. Previously, Her artistic training took her to Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, MA, and later on to H.B. Studio in New York City in her younger years and Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in England in her older years. Her training also includes many teachers and workshops who contributed insight and expertise. These experiences broadened her understanding of character, storytelling, and the craft of acting.

Before focusing primarily on film and television, Corinne enjoyed an accomplished independent career as a classical soprano. She performed as a soloist in works including Handel's Messiah, Fauré's Requiem, Rutter's Gloria, Vaughan Williams' Serenade to Music, and Elgar's Sea Pictures. She toured the Czech Republic and Hungary with Virtuosi Pragenses and the Chatham Chorale (of Cape Cod), appeared with Cape Cod Opera and San Francisco Lyric Opera, and later collaborated with composer Dr. Theodore Frazeur on a recording of his composition Vocalise. She was also a member of Sacramento's women's vocal ensemble Vox Musica when her children were toddlers.

Although her professional focus has evolved, music remains woven into the fabric of her life. Classical music has been a constant companion for as long as she can remember, and jazz has long inspired her with its freedom, soul, and spontaneity. The discipline, emotional honesty, and musical sensitivity she developed as a singer continue to shape her work as an actor, reminding her that every performance begins with listening.

Living in London further broadened Corinne's perspective, immersing her in a rich artistic community and exposing her to people from around the world. Those years strengthened her belief that storytelling has the unique ability to bridge cultures, challenge assumptions, and remind us of our shared humanity.

Today, Corinne considers herself at home on both coasts. The history and traditions of New England, the creativity and openness of California, and the international experiences she gained while living abroad have each become an essential part of the artist and person she is today.

Whether she's stepping onto a film set, into a rehearsal room, or simply discovering a new piece of music or art, Corinne remains endlessly curious about people and the stories they carry.

She believes the most meaningful stories don't simply entertain, they invite us to see ourselves in one another. Through film, music, and the quiet moments in between, Corinne is continually drawn to work that reflects our shared humanity with honesty, compassion, and hope.

~ How It Started ~

Charles Laughton The Hunchback of Notre

Why was I not made of stone, like thee?

At some point, you discover what being an "actor" means...

I remember asking my Dad, “Is he really like that - is the man in the movie really like that?” When I first saw this film, I was four years old and had just started kindergarten. My father explained it was a costume, makeup, and a mask. He explained it was an actor by the name of Charles Laughton who played Quasimodo. I remember feeling scared of him and curious but I mostly felt sorry for him. I wanted to be his friend and somehow felt like I understood him. I was just beginning to experience other kids saying or doing mean things as kids do… and not fully understanding what was going on. Moving forward, this feeling of not fitting in persisted.

Writing this artist statement of sorts made me stop and think for a bit about what really defines my "sense of self". Oddly enough, I think I'm more connected to the buck-toothed  little girl you see here than I am to the person I've spent years trying to become. Looking back, I can see that my sensitivity and my fascination with people are what eventually led me to acting. I grew up in a family full of talented people. My parents and my siblings all seemed to move through life with a confidence I never felt I had. I often thought of myself as the one who was too emotional, too quiet, or just not as capable. What I did have was a very active imagination. Music and movies affected me deeply. They didn't just entertain me - they pulled me into other worlds. I could spend hours staring out the window or wandering through the woods behind our house, making up stories. Sometimes I was hiding from monsters. Sometimes I was searching for wood nymphs. There was always a soundtrack playing in my head, and there was always someone or something I wanted to become. Using my imagination wasn't something I chose to do. It's just how I experienced the world. Looking back now, I realize that nothing has really changed. Acting simply gave that part of me a home.

When I think back to my earliest understanding of what it meant to be an actor, I have both of my parents to thank for the world they created around me. My father had a remarkable ability to fill a room with his enthusiasm and his unique joie de vivre. He had a deep need to share the art that moved him - whether it was music, film, theatre, or a performance he had discovered - with the people around him. It was never about showing off; it came from a genuine desire to connect. When something touched him, he wanted others to experience that same joy. His love of music began when he was a child and continued throughout his life. As he grew older, that curiosity expanded into a love of film (he was a true film buff), theatre, conducting, singing, radio, and eventually teaching. I have countless memories of family and friends gathered around as he insisted they watch a film he loved, often because he wanted to reenact the lines afterward and share in the laughter. He would also share recordings he had engineered, performances he had worked on, or a new release he thought everyone needed to hear. He loved sharing, and his greatest joy was seeing someone else become as moved or excited as he was. Connection made. My mother shared that same appreciation for creativity, patiently supporting and encouraging his endless enthusiasm. She was his “co-enthusiast,” which feels like the best description of their partnership. My father was drawn to her beauty, intelligence, and talent. They met “in the theatre” while performing in A Man for All Seasons at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts. After starting a family, they went on to co-direct two productions together: My Fair Lady and The King and I.

My first introduction to performing came through them. They showed me that art was not just something to watch - it was something to share, something to explore, and ultimately, something that could bring people together.
