Career

In 2009, Negovanlis began studying voice performance at the Schulich School of Music at McGill University.[2] However, unhappy with the rigidity of the opera world, Negovanlis also trained at the Montréal Improv Theatre as a comedian. During her third year of university, Negovanlis decided to leave school to pursue her acting career, and four days after dropping out, she was cast in a professional musical. For this role, she was nominated on BROADWAYWORLD.COM for Best Female Performance in a Featured Role.[3] In 2014, Negovanlis appeared in the film The Way We Are.[4] Later that same year, she was cast as the titular role in the web-series Carmilla. In the series, which is based on the 1871 novella of the same name, Negovanlis portrays the dark and mysterious vampire Carmilla, who appears after her roommate's previous roommate suddenly vanishes.[5] On December 9, 2014, a second season of the series was ordered and is set to film in spring 2015.[6]
