Tania Fisher was born in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia as Tania Piscioneri. She is an actress, voice over artist, author, and producer, known for Breaking Point (2001), Glad Rags (1995) and Neighbours (2008). Born to Italian immigrants, she was educated at the prestigious private girls' school, Wilderness, in Medindie, South Australia. At 15 she was head-hunted to provide the voice-over for a TV Commercial for the Australian Dental Association, which became the beginning of a life-long voice acting career. She was known as the actress of the school, breaking school records for drama prizes received, and she succeeded in obtaining acting work in a state that had only one acting agent. She started out working as an extra in feature films that generally had to have a known American lead actor in order to secure funding and be filmed in Australia. She legally changed her surname from Piscioneri to the English translation, Fisher, "so as not to offend my father." She moved to Melbourne where acting work was more prevalent and succeeded in obtaining small roles in feature films, playing the lead role in theater productions, and leads in independently funded feature films. She co-produced independent feature films, and also became involved in casting and script writing. She attended the Cannes Film Festival twice, receiving a co-producer award in 2004. She has appeared in several national TV Commercials, and guest roles in TV shows, including guest starring as "Anita Katz" in the iconic Australian soap drama, Neighbours in 2008. At one point Fisher could be seen in four national TV Commercials airing at the same time. Fisher spent two years working as an actress and voice over artist in England, most notably co-starring as "Linda" in Alan Bennett's, "Kafka's Dick" at the Garrick Theater. Fisher relocated to New York City in 2013 and found work as an actor in off-Broadway theater, the HB Studio, and working behind the scenes as a film production manager, stage manager for off-off-Broadway productions, and mentor for newcomers at NYC Acting Studios. As of 2019 she works as an actor and voice-over artist, Acting Studio mentor, Theater Reviewer, industry-insider author, children's book author, dramaturge, editor, and currently assists Lainie Kazan in developing her biography.
