**15 minute reads are free!** Hey Superstar! I am Kalilah-a professional actor/singer with over 15 years of experience ranging in

Broadway: Disney's The Lion King- As the first Universal Female Singer Swing In their 25 year History to cover both the Broadway and Touring Companies. I'm responsible for 14 different tracks including Nala and Shenzi and Queen Sarabi for both US companies. I still moonlight there when I'm in between other gigs.

Regional Theatre- shows like Born for This A Bebe Winans Story at The Broad Stage as a swing covering all female leads or A Wonder in My Soul at Baltimore Center Stage.

International Theme parks- Hong Kong Disneyland's Festival of The Lion King as Nala.

even Dinner Theatre- The Barn Dinner Theatre as Shug Avery inThe Color Purple

Cruise ships, and commercials and more. I'm also versed and passionate about sketch comedy.

Not only do I act but I coach actors as well. My philosophy on acting is centered around truth and elevating the actor's unique voice at every turn. I thoroughly enjoy reading with others because it keeps my own sensibilities sharp and its fun! A win/win!

I also understand that everyone has their own processes and am flexible and aware enough to blend with different ones.

I am a professional Manifestation Coach with emphasis on feeling good in your career and strengthening my clients' inner voices. I would be delighted to assist you in booking your next gig or even just working through lines! I'm also always looking to collaborate on fun, exciting and expansive projects so those kinds of shots are welcomed.

Oh and Umm, yes I am a BFA trained actor in Professional Theatre with 15 plus years of professional experience so I can definitely provide you with a clean, standard IPA voice (or standard British, cockney or West African dialects) for our read BUTTTTTTTT I'm also from The Bronx and happen to enjoy twerking so fasho book me if you need that sassy, vibrant, urban black girl type *smirks*. Getchu someone who can do both, OKAY?!

LMAO! I'm having way too much fun in this bio so let me go for now but (**Mufasa Voice**) REMEMBER -- we really all chose to play pretend for a living and I'm proud of us for doing what so many people in this world are too chicken to do- follow our dreams. I can't wait to work with you! Keep Going!!
