Taylor-Isherwood had an interesting start in acting. When she was around eight years old, she asked her parents if she could have acting lessons. She was in the habit of starting a lesson (such as dance or piano) and then quickly giving it up. So her parents made a compromise: she could take acting lessons if she made the money for it herself. Taylor-Isherwood rose to the challenge and began making papier-mâché hats. The Ottawa Citizen heard of it, and wrote an article on her. After that article, she quickly made the money she needed to go to acting lessons.
She is the older sister of actress Sally Taylor-Isherwood.
Taylor-Isherwood attended Canterbury High School in Ottawa, where she graduated from the drama program in 2005. She played the part of Henry Higgins' mother in Canterbury High School's 2004 production of My Fair Lady.
Taylor-Isherwood who has dual Canadian and British citizenship is fluent in both English and French[1].
In 2009, She graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario with a Bachelor of Arts degree[2].
She began her career at the age of nine, with voice role in the animated special Teddy Bears Rescue, before lending her voice for Miffy and Mona the Vampire. She has appeared in movie including Tales from the Neverending Story, The Shipping News and Who Gets The House.
She is probably best known for her role as the free-spirited, adventurous intelligent, and intrusive Josie Trent on Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, also known as Black Hole High. At the 24th Annual Young Artist Awards (2003), Emma was nominated for Supporting Young Actress in a TV series (comedy or drama), for the series. She was on a camping trip, when she found out she got the part as "Josie" on Strange Days.
She is currently represented by the Agence Claire Boivin Agency[1].
