French-Canadian bilingual actress bringing authenticity, versatility, and international experience to every role.
I'm Aurielle Jioya, a trained actress navigating between Paris and Montreal, with a unique ability to seamlessly move between French and English-speaking productions. My perfectly bilingual profile and multicultural background (French-Beninese-Canadian) make me a natural fit for international projects seeking authentic, diverse talent.
Training & Method: Graduated from Cours Florent's cinema program (Paris), I've trained extensively in the Actors Studio method with Jack Waltzer, studied under Hélène Zidi at Laboratoire de l'Acteur, and recently completed intensive work with Ivana Chubbuck. I now teach on-camera acting techniques at Cours Florent, which keeps my craft sharp and my instincts fresh.
Recent Work: Most recently seen in Season 5 of Emily in Paris (Netflix). My director background, I studied film production at Concordia University (Montreal) and my short film premiered at Clermont-Ferrand, gives me a unique understanding of camera work, framing, and what directors need from actors. I read subtext quickly, take direction efficiently, and come prepared.
Why Cast Me: I bring more than performance—I bring understanding. Years of directing taught me to see scenes from all angles, anticipate needs, and offer solutions. I'm the actress who understands your vision before you finish explaining it. I deliver in one take what I've refined through preparation, and I adapt instantly when you need something different.
