Gabriella Tranchina began taking acting classes at the age of four. A Long Island native, she spent her youth dedicated to theatre by performing in every school and local play she had access to and commuting into New York City to take professional classes at studios such as the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

Upon graduating High School, Gabriella relocated to Los Angeles, California to major in theatre (acting) at the prestigious University of Southern California. At USC, Gabriella had the privilege of training with Emmy Award-winning actor, Kate Burton, and Tony-nominated actor, Mary Joan Negro. In addition to performing in plays at USC, Gabriella also acted in a number of films to sharpen her on-camera presence. and used this training to book a Co-Star on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful within the first year of her professional career. Most recently, Gabrella signed with Tangerine talent and is now repped by Sueanne Edan.

While her main focus has always been acting, Gabriella has also studied and developed passions of screenwriting and Stand Up Comedy. While at USC, she also had the privilege of producing multiple theatrical productions with the independent, student-run Impulse Theatre Company. She also completed two internships with Creative Artist Agency’s Media Finance group and has aspirations to work in the development and production of independent films. Although quarantine changed many of Gabriella’s post-grad plans, it did lead to her gaining 20k followers on Tik Tok!

Never one to slow down, as soon as it was safe, Gabriella resumed her study of acting by joining Sterling Studio’s On-Camera Technique and Scene Study Class taught by Constance Tillotson. She could not be happier to be back in class and keep furthering her craft. She fervently believes as an artist, it is necessary to keep evolving and always be committed to the expansion of one’s study. To support herself and other artists, Gabriella is Operations Coordinator for a new tech start-up that aims to service Actors and Casting Directors called Castability. Gabriella’s dream is to merge her own experience along with the experiences of others, to increase transparency, fairness, and dedication within the industry.

Gabriella hopes to use her skillset to tell stories that inspire people of all walks of life, while also making them laugh. She believes the mediums of film, television, new media and theatre are the few tools in this chaotic world that unite us as human beings. It is through this art that we realize we are not all so different from each other and comedy and drama cannot exist without the other.

When Gabriella is not working on her art, you can find her playing with her two dogs, Hershey & Callie, embarking on her mission to find the best Mac and Cheese in the world, re-watching her favorite SNL sketches, and trying every new workout class to come into existence.
