My passion for singing started when I was very young, but it didn’t come naturally to me. In fact, after an audition in high school, the director pulled me aside to say, “Hallie, you’re a terrific dancer, but you can’t sing worth a lick.” How devastating!

But no wonder! I had spent my childhood singing—as my poor mother can attest—but I had never been taught even the very basics of how to do it. I assumed, as I think most people do, that singing is something that should come naturally. Thankfully, I decided not to let it get me down, and with the right teachers I was able to completely transform my voice.

I have since spent many years studying singing with experts in bel canto, opera, and musical theatre (since 2018, I have been blessed to study with a world-class opera star). I have put my training to good use in countless solo and ensemble performances in community theatre, corporate events, parties, weddings, funerals, festivals, etc.

In spring 2025, I placed 2nd in classical at the Mid-Atlantic Region NATS competition and 1st in musical theatre at VA NATS. Judges’ comments included, “Beautiful voice,” “lovely, even tone,” “wonderful voice for [baroque music],” “beautiful youthful fresh sound,” and “excellent interpretation of text and embodiment of character!”

Performing Arts

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to perform. Before I got serious about singing, I spent years studying and performing ballet, ballroom, and many other forms of dance. I also participated in many productions as a performer, costumer, and set designer, and I minored in theatre in college.

I do not utilize generative AI or autotune in any capacity. My performances, writing, artwork, and all creations are—and will continue to be—my own work, in collaboration with other human artists. Stay human!
