Daniel Rhovan, Youth Acting
Daniel Rhovan is a professional voice, film, and stage actor who has been teaching drama for three years. He grew up in the tiny town of Triangle Lake, where he fell in love with the power of storytelling. He graduated with a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Eastern Oregon University, where he was trained in stage combat, music theater, Shakespeare, dance, script analysis, and the Meisner technique. Among his favorite accomplishments in the Portland area include writing and starring in a Western puppet show, being featured in a D&D webseries, and learning how to clap with one hand.

Erin Zelazny, Musical Theatre
Erin studied English, psychology, and musical theater at Eastern Oregon University before graduating in 2010. For over a decade, she has studied vocal pedagogy and that, along with her degree in English discourse and own experience with anxiety and stage fright, has fostered a passion for helping others eliminate the stress and fear surrounding auditioning.  Erin believes that by creating safe and inclusive spaces, anyone can learn to sing, nail an audition, and build confidence both on and off stage.
