Shoshana Wilder

Shoshana Wilder is a multilingual, classically trained actor, voiceover artist, and singer. Based in Los Angeles, Wilder is best known for her portrayals of Princess Lisette II in the youth series How to Become a Legend, Laya in Yiddish Theater production the Dybbuk (NYC), Diana Barry in Canadian T ... our of Anne of Green Gables, Deena in CTV series Transplant, and as CBC’s in-house announcer (2015-19). Genuinely versatile, Shoshana Wilder works in English, French, Italian, and Yiddish and masters several dialects and accents. The Canadian character actress was raised in Montreal by a hardworking yet very present single mother, whose dedication, resourcefulness, and constant support for her three artistic children inspires Shoshana never to give up and reach for her dreams. As a child, she spends her time creating faux-radio commercials with her friends, and as a teen, regular parties are replaced by improv and comedy nights. Though her interest in the stage is omnipresent, her family’s financial situation is precarious, and cannot afford drama lessons. She, therefore, joins the children’s choir nearby, where she discovers her voice and deepens her love for music and harmony. But, unfortunately, she will have to wait until high school to join the Drama club. Shoshana sings and has a natural talent for the stage, but her shyness takes over, and she puts her passion aside for a few years. Finally, at age 19, encouraged by her French teacher, who sees Wilder’s potential, she auditions for the great acting schools of Quebec, and her acceptance to the Musical Theater program Lionel-Groulx will change everything. That’s where Wilder finally learns to polish, canalize and exploit her voice, dancing, and acting skills. After a few years in the Musical Theater program, she decided to focus on her acting training by joining the Drama specialization. Shoshana graduated in 2013 and has been working professionally ever since, diversifying between stage, TV, film, and voiceover work, sharing her time between LA, NYC, Toronto, and Montreal, her beloved hometown. Very handy and just as resourceful as her mother, Shoshana is also a passionate fixer-upper. Her passion for the environment drives her to counter obsolescence by giving antiques, fixtures, clothes, and furniture a second life. Shoshana also writes and directs and is currently working on her first feature film. For more, contact inquiries (at) EPECmedia (dot) com. read more
