David Pearson

David is a Canberra-based baritone and actor trained at the Royal Academy of Music, whose career spans West End performance, large-scale musical theatre and concert work. Equally at home in comedy, drama and pantomime, he brings strong musical literacy, character versatility and emotional depth to his work. A passionate storyteller, David is particularly energised by collaborating with writers, composers and creative teams to originate and shape new roles. He thrives in development environments, working closely with fellow artists to build characters from the ground up and to bring fresh stories to life for contemporary audiences. As a proud parent of a delightfully neuro-spicy brood, David understands firsthand the chaos, tenderness, exhaustion and fierce love that sit at the heart of modern family life. He finds deep joy in the richness of diverse perspectives and is drawn to stories that reflect the breadth of human experience. Whether through humour, vulnerability or spectacle, he is most fulfilled when exploring the human condition with honesty, generosity and resilience.
