Addison Faith is a 17-year-old rising actress, singer, and model based in Denver, representing a new generation of performers defined by resilience, depth, and fearless creativity. A local hire who is willing to travel, Addison brings professional experience, emotional range, and a powerful work ethic to every stage and set she enters.
With a strong on-camera presence and polished performance background, Addison has appeared in eight productions over the past five years and has performed the National Anthem numerous times in the last several months alone. She has trained extensively in acting, modeling, and voice, and her goal for the year ahead is to professionally star in her first on-screen film while continuing to grow her music career through original work.
A Performer from the Very Beginning
Addison’s love for entertainment began early. As a child, she gravitated naturally toward the spotlight, creating acting, singing, and dancing skits for her family and performing at gatherings whenever she could. While growing up as a competitive gymnast, she was already imagining herself performing for stadiums full of people or acting in films, long before she ever stepped onto a stage.
In 2022, Addison’s life took a dramatic turn when she suffered a serious spinal injury while training gymnastics. Realizing her time in the sport had come to an end, she was forced to redefine her future. During her recovery, she noticed audition flyers for her school musical, Newsies. Despite having no formal musical theatre experience at the time, she auditioned and was cast as Katherine, the female lead. That moment ignited a full-time passion for the performing arts and reshaped her life.
Training, Discipline, and Craft
Since then, Addison has pursued intensive professional training, completing over ten acting-focused credentials and more than seven in modeling. Her training includes monologue work, commercial and spokesperson performance, cold reading, teleprompter use, improv, voice-over, script analysis, and extensive on-camera technique. In modeling, she has trained in runway, choreography, photo posing, working with props, and professional photoshoot techniques.
She has further developed her craft through organizations such as the Colorado Thespian Society, Parlando School of Musical Arts, Mountain Youth Musicals, and Northglenn Arts programs, alongside private weekly vocal lessons. Addison has also been in vocal training for five years and has sung for over eight years in total.
Favorite Roles and Performance Style
Addison thrives in both comedic and dramatic roles. Among her favorites is Karen Smith from Mean Girls, a role she describes as joyful, challenging, and vocally demanding. She also holds a deep connection to Katherine from Newsies, inspired by the character’s determination to succeed as a woman in journalism and her powerful emotional arc.
Her stage experience spans productions including Freaky Friday, Cinderella, Hadestown, Something Rotten, A Salem Witch Story, and Play On! Each role strengthened her versatility, from rapid character switches and harmonic ensemble work to deep character analysis and emotional storytelling. Addison is also experienced in singing live orchestral productions and has performed countless National Anthems, an honor she says never loses its meaning.
Accents, Mediums, and Artistic Vision
Addison can perform a general British accent, an Australian accent, and is currently training in a Boston dialect. While she dreams of one day performing on Broadway, she feels equally drawn to film and television. If forced to choose, she would ultimately prioritize on-screen acting, with hopes of building a lasting legacy through memorable characters that fully immerse audiences.
Strength Through Adversity
One of the most defining chapters of Addison’s life came during her junior year, after being cast as Cinderella in her school production. What should have been a celebratory milestone instead became a period of intense adversity, marked by bullying, isolation, and emotional hardship. Through this experience, Addison developed a profound understanding of both the challenges of the industry and her own inner strength.
Rather than allowing the experience to define her, she transformed it into resilience. Acting and performing became her anchor, her motivation, and her source of healing. Addison emerged with a deeper sense of purpose, believing firmly that talent cannot be taken away, only surrendered. That belief continues to drive her forward.
Influences and Inner Compass
Addison draws inspiration from Tate McRae, whose music reflects themes of being misunderstood and perseverance, as well as actors Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, whose passion and screen presence continue to motivate her.
In moments of stress, she grounds herself with three reminders: take a deep breath, trust that God has guided her path and remember why she chose this career in the first place.
If she had one word to describe herself, it would be tenacious!
Life Beyond the Stage
Outside of acting and singing, Addison occasionally plays piano, previously played cello, and has a strong appreciation for orchestral music, particularly in large-scale films. In her free time, she enjoys discovering new music, watching films, reading, attending church, learning songs, spending time with loved ones, and being with her dog, Maverick.
Looking Ahead
Addison’s dream role is to lead a major blockbuster film, creating performances that leave a lasting impact. Her goals for 2026 include fully stepping into her professional career, starring in a film, writing and releasing music, and expanding into commercials and print work.
At iPOP!, Addison was most excited about meeting artists from around the world and sharing space with so much talent and passion in one place.
She lives by the belief that nothing is impossible, only unexplored.
