My passion for singing started when I was very young, but I didn’t have a natural talent for it. 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 long-suffering mother can attest—but I had never been taught even the very basics of how to do it. 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, and 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 corporate events, parties, weddings, funerals, community events, theatre, 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. Later, I taught myself piano to support my singing and teaching.

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!
