Hello, I'm Gabriella.

Director of Maselli Training & Maselli Films

I train actors, presenters and public speakers through performance-led coaching that builds confidence, presence and authentic connection. My work spans acting for camera, scene analysis and improvisation, as well as live speaking, presentations, media interviews and on-camera communication.

Across TVCs, film, television, theatre and corporate settings, I provide private coaching, self-tape support, group programs and workshops, with a focus on voice, body language, audience engagement and compelling performance.

My Story

Sydney-based performer, writer, director and producer working across film, screen projects and content. With a lengthy background in performance and dramaturgy, I am known for creating authentic, emotionally grounded work across drama and comedy. My approach is collaborative and built on trust, with a particular strength in working with children and teenagers to direct performances that feel natural, engaging and emotionally honest.

Gabriella is particularly sought after for her work with children and teenagers, including on-set performance coaching and dramaturgy. She is the author of Transform Your Ad Audition! and has developed industry workshops, screen performance programs and educational drama initiatives for emerging performers and professionals.
