Yn ol ym mhell yn y 70’au/80’au, roeddwn i’n ddigon lwcus i gael mynd i weld y pantomeim Cymraeg yn Theatr Clwyd bob blwyddyn – dyma lle ddechreuodd fy niddordeb mewn drama. Fe ymunais â’r Clwb Ieuenctid Theatr Clwyd am dair mlynedd ac ar ol gorffen fy lefel ‘A’, es i astudio Drama yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru.
Ar ol dychwelyd i fyw yng Nghaerdydd, wedi cyfnod o fod yn Llundain, fe gwrddais i â Leigh-ann a dechrau gweithio i’r asiantaeth.
Roedd hynny’n ol yn 2003…..’dwi’n dal yma ac wrth fy modd! x
————-
It all began back in the 70’s/80’s when I used to be taken to see Theatre Clwyd’s Welsh language pantomime each year…..
I joined the Clwyd Youth Theatre for three years and after my ‘A’ levels, went to study Drama at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
After returning to live in Cardiff after a stint living (it up) in London town, I met with Leigh-Ann and started working at Regan Management.
The rest, as they say is history!
AGENT
A proud Welsh speaking Valleys Girl I started my career studying a BA in Drama at The University of Wales in Cardiff. After finishing my degree I decided to explore the industry from behind the camera by working as production crew in Film & TV. I also had a stint of working in the Politics department at the BBC (yes, even I’m shocked that happened!). A chance encounter with Leigh-Ann turned in to a (so far) 6-year career within Regan Talent Group. I love how close we are as a company and we really love to get to know our clients to offer them the best possible representation.
On a personal note, I love the thought of owning a jet ski and being cooler than what I actually am. I look forward to the day I can change this bio to say ‘I now own a jet ski’.
AGENT
Oliver has been annoying his parents since a young child. After dragging them to several West End shows throughout his childhood, he earned a Degree in Musical Theatre from Bird College, and went on to gain a Masters at the Royal Academy of Music. In 2019, he shelved his West End dreams, joined Regan Management and now loves helping clients achieve theirs. He now also enjoys annoying his workmates – giving his parents a well-rested break.
PRESENTER & INFLUENCER AGENT
Geraint has worked in the media industry for 20 years, since leaving LIPA in 2006. He has presented, produced and executive produced and has worked in ever genre of work in the TV and Radio industry from sports to documentary to light entertainment, live radio to podcast presentation and creation.

He joined Regan in 2018 and has helped grow a superb roster of clients who can be seen across a wide range of TV and radio and working with some of the countries top brands.

He has a proven track record for nurturing talent and growing relationships and is known for an approachable yet results-driven style. He’s also constantly trying to get the office engaged and enthused about sport but sadly is failing miserably…he will never give up on this goal.
AGENT’S ASSISTANT
Raised by a family of creatives, with both parents working in Welsh media, Ffreya is a proud Welsh speaker with a passion for connecting people to Welsh culture and the creative arts. A recipient of the prestigious ‘Lee and Anna Strasberg Scholarship’, Ffreya studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York, which brings a unique perspective to her role, combining hands-on industry knowledge with a deep understanding of the craft of acting.

AGENT’S ASSISTANT
After graduating from Arts Ed with a BA (hons) Degree in Musical Theatre in 2010, Emma went on to secure her first West End contract in ‘Andrew Lloyd Webber’s, The Wizard of Oz’ at The London Palladium. This was the start of a (predominantly Musical Theatre) performing career that spanned over a decade and included shows such as Carousel, American Idiot, Shout! The Mod Musical and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
As well as treading the boards during her career, Emma also gained experience in other areas of the industry including working as an Assistant Director, a Casting Assistant with Debbie O’Brien Casting across many projects, and eventually, working as a Talent Agent at a start-up agency.
When the agency unfortunately closed during the pandemic, Emma took some time out to get married, renovate a house and get a dog! But also, to re-prioritise and focus in on strengthening her skillset, including a stint of studying legal modules with the Open University and the University of Law.
With strong connections within the industry, the unique perspective of being on both sides of the audition room panel and a thorough understanding of how the process works, Emma has the expertise to guide performers whilst being able to empathise with how they are feeling – most likely having been there herself!
