Laura Hill

Laura has worked in the entertainment industry for over 25 years. She is best-known for her role as Toni on Shortland Street and has also appeared on Go Girls, Nothing Trivial, Westside and The Brokenwood Mysteries.


She started out in theatre and has worked consistently in professional theatres all over the country, so she knows how to work a crowd and hit a deadline – opening night waits for no-one! She has a background in debating and improv, so brings those skills to the table too.

When she’s not being an actor or a voice artist, Laura works as a writer (storyliner and/or script writer for Shortland Street, The Brokenwood Mysteries, The Almighty Johnsons, Go Girls). She writes with humour and clarity, and is a self-confessed geek so you can be sure she’ll do her homework to create the perfect content for your event.

Laura’s previous work as an MC/speaker includes a celebrity debate at the ‘Taupo Winter Festival’; hosting a panel at the ‘Auckland Writers’ Festival;  she was a panellist on The Book Show; hosted an event with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra at the Town Hall; and has MC’ed weddings.
