BiographyTamsin West (born 7 March 1974) is an Australian former child actress and singer. She made her film debut as Jennifer Grey in Jenny Kissed Me and played Jane Cannon in Frog Dreaming. She is perhaps best known to television viewers as Linda Twist, a role during the first series in the children's television show Round the Twist. West was the first of three actresses to portray the role.

As well as appearing in children's television, West also appeared in Neighbours, as Emma Gordon, between 1987 and 1988, and again in 1991, and guested on Blue Heelers.

On stage, she played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at the State Theatre in 1991. She was in the chorus for the 1992 Jesus Christ Superstar Australian arena production.

West performed the lead vocals on the Round the Twist theme song, which was used in all four series.

After her work on Round the Twist, West toured as a professional musician, playing the jazz circuit in London at least as far back as 2001. As of 2026, she regularly performs vocals as part of acts such as Tamsin West and her Savoy Ballroom band and the Joe Ruberto Quartet, honouring jazz legends like Peggy Lee, Doris Day, and Bessie Smith.
