TRAINING…

Acting/Directing ~ LaShanna has trained in acting and directing for live theatre at Samford University, and Bethune-Cookman College under the dearly departed Demetrius Wharton. She has worked with and directed Adeniyi Coker, friend and former student of Nobel Prize playwright Wole Soyinka, in the Southern debut of Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman. She was also Assistant Director for Make It Happen Theatre’s production of Black Nativity.

Singing ~ With a church choir background, LaShanna has trained with Opera Singer, Daphne Dunston-Wharton, and studied Musical Theatre performance under W. Randall Richardson. She has been tackling jazz, and her musical flow has been compared to the stylistics of the amazing Jill Scott. With an alto belt and mezzo soprano range, LaShanna continues studying to transform her voice to fit a style of music depending on what is needed while enhancing her own, original voice.

Voice-Over ~ LaShanna has trained with Marie Prater, C.S.A., and the “Man of Many Voices,” national Voice Talent, Ken Osbourn, and can offer a range of voices for television, film and radio.
