"After studying with Shane Ann, I’ve come to think that the voice is the most important of the actor’s tools. Because she teaches you to use all of your breath and body when delivering text, you are better able to connect to a truthful performance, and therefore, a more powerful one.

I finished her program with an acting and vocal technique that grounds me in times of nervousness and allows me to perform a one-hour, one-woman show without losing my voice or the audience’s attention. Not only can people hear and understand what I’m saying when I speak, I am now able to audition in a much more present and relaxed way.

In addition to all of the technical goodies Shane Ann teaches, the best gift from her class was the confidence I gained and the ability to breathe when sticking up for myself.”

My Mom Across America (one-woman comedy ) has been performed at the New School, the NuYorican Poets Café, the People’s Improv Theater, Dixon Place, and HERE/Lincoln Center Theatre’s American Living Room series and was featured on BBC Radio. Other theatre credits include Fuenteovejuna (NAATCO), Chekhov’s The Bear and The Sneeze (Blackbird and Sparrow Productions), and Steinbeck’s East of Eden (Fluid Motion Theater & Film Productions.)
