The Introduction

I am Mélanie Dumais a talented Canadian actress. known for my ability to bring authenticity and depth to every character I portray. My background in dance and fitness has also influenced my acting, giving him a unique physique and a strong sense of body awareness on screen.

What hardships have you gone through in life?

My sister who fought cancer for 3 years, but who passed 5 years ago. I saw her suffer, laugh, cry, despair and be relieved because she wanted to fight to see her daughter grow up. In the same time, I lived a toxic relationship with a guy that was a narcissistic pervert, it taked me 2 years to have more confidence and be the woman that I am today.

How do you balance your acting commitments?

Being in high demand as an actress, comedian, in addition to my family and personal life, I have a great ability to manage my time well because I have a team behind me, I have my Bellini Talent agent, I have my mentor Patricia Chica for my Rising Star program, I have coaches Dawn Ford, Hélène Parent.

And because I’m versatile and very adaptable, I can sometimes be asked to do both in the same day. I love this diversity, it’s really a joy for me to be flexible and to have this great capacity to adapt in order to explore different spheres of performances.

How do you choose which projects to work on, whether as an actress?

The project has to challenge and stimulate me. It also has to have a message that appeals to people and serves the audience, which is why I like working with top-quality directors. The projects that I’m attracted too must bring an international impact by taking part in festivals, and have the capacity to influence on audiences worldwide, in particular women.

Can you tell us about a particularly rewarding professional collaboration?

Patricia Chica is my mentor and Rising Star coach, as well as my publicist. I’ve finally found someone who is aligned, who vibrates and gives off the same energies as I do. I took her Chi Energy Masterclass to help me remove blockages and access another level of energy awareness and high-performance mindset as an actress.

What are the most rewarding aspects of your work as an actress?

To see my children’s eyes shine at the work I do.

How do you stay inspired and motivated in such a competitive environment?

I practice meditation and go to recharge my batteries in nature to stay connected to what’s really important to me. As Jim Rohn, a famous speaker on personal development, says, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”. That’s why I’m also fortunate to be surrounded by people in the industry who uplift me, and why my entourage, my team, is also there with me.

What are your future plans or goals as an actress?

To expand even further into the international market and be a spokesperson for a major conscious brand that empowers women.

How do you think your unique background sets you apart as an actress?

Now that my children are grown up, I can devote myself full-time to my profession. I have the leisure to have the best coaches and to realize my personal projects even more. With all my experiences and my life path being quite varied and tumultuous at times, I’ve become the woman I am today, with my strengths and weaknesses, which makes my acting unique and authentic.
