Bringing Broadway style vocal coaching to the Ojai Valley
Laura has performed on Broadway in the Original Broadway Cast of the Tony nominated musical The Woman in White by Andrew Lloyd Webber, under the direction of Trevor Nunn. Laura worked for The Roundabout Theater in New York on the workshops of Paradise Lost with Tony Winners Susan Stroman and Hal Prince, and on Red Sox Nation under the direction of Tony Winner Diana Paulus (Finding Neverland, Pippin and Hair). Some of her favorite roles include Laurey in Oklahoma, Polly in The Boyfriend and Magnolia in Showboat for which she won an Billie Award. Laura had the honor of performing for our troops in nine different countries around the world with the Department of Defense.
On television you may have seen her in Bold and the Beautiful, One Life to Live and Conviction, and she is still haunted by re-runs of a Law and Order episode. Commercial and voice over work include Bath and Body Works and Schick razor blades. Laura also spent 3 years traveling the country and scouting young talent as a casting associate.
Laura received her BA in Theater from Roosevelt University in Chicago. She studied privately in Los Angeles with Edward Sayegh from 1998 until 2001 and in New York City with Liz Caplan from 2002 until 2012.
Laura had her first taste of teaching in 2005 when she taught as a Liz Caplan associate and loved it; “helping singers find their authentic sound, and being free to sing any style they want, is thrilling and deeply rewarding.” She is now happily living in Ojai where she grew up, teaching voice and performing for her daughters Olivia 7, Hope 5, and Fiona 2, seven nights a week.
