Teaching RESUME

"Being heard is a human right. Every individual has ideas and beliefs that deserve to be communicated with confidence and clarity. The power of speech and performance is my passion. By sharing my knowledge and understanding of acting and our vocal instrument I strive to help each individual to give life to their own true voice."

- Alana
