    About Kevan D.

    Hi! I'm an actor, director, and playwright who loves sharing my passion for theatre with people of all ages. I have had the opportunity to train from some of the country's most exceptional theatre artists, and bring a wide array of tools to my work as an acting coach. I have a BFA and an MFA in Theatre Performance and continue to expand my own education with ongoing workshops and training opportunities. I've taught acting at the college level and continue to direct and host workshops on a regular basis. In college, I was named a semi-finalist in the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. I'm available for monologue coaching, audition preparation and coaching, scene/character work, as well as voice work like accents/dialects and healthy use of voice. I also work with non-actors who want to become more confident and relaxed public speakers.
