LAURA FEGELY

     I live in Los Angeles, approximately 2,321 miles away from Upstate New York, where I grew up. I’m the youngest of three and was raised by my widowed dad, so from a young age I found comfort in Disney movies, where the majority of protagonists are also missing a mom (...odd). This ignited my love for musical theatre, and I began to act out musicals and write skits with my friends during recess, and auditioned for children’s theatres as soon as I was old enough.

​

     When I wasn’t in rehearsal for the next musical, I would spend hours watching my older brother play video games on his PlayStation. He never let me play, but I was content to watch the stories unfold (I like to think that us younger siblings created the market for Twitch streamers). When my brother moved away, he left behind his PlayStation, and I got to experience playing the sequels to the games I’d grown up watching.

​

     For college, I attended Viterbo University, where I earned a BFA in Musical Theatre. While I grew as an actor and singer, as a big and tall woman, I began to feel stifled by the parameters placed on performers' physical appearance in the theatre world. After some soul searching, and thinking back to what had excited me as a kid, I realized that voice acting was exactly what I’d been looking for, and as soon as I graduated, I left behind my dreams of the stage, and refocused exclusively on voiceover.

​

     I’ve since relocated to Los Angeles, and have learned from dozens of industry professionals. I’ve worked on commercials, industrials, audio dramas, video games, and I can’t wait to do more!
