Zachary McConnell

I am personable, expeditious, and entrepreneurial with exemplary communication and leadership skills, as well as a determined work ethic. Recently I attended The Boston Conservatory at Berklee for my Masters degree, having completed my undergraduate degree in music theatre performance from Western Michigan University.  I’ve began acting professionally after my first year of college; ultimately joining Actor’s Equity Association after my second year. While at WMU my free time becoming proficient in multimedia graphic design and branding inspired by my lifelong fascination with information/communication technology.

I’m an avid problem solver, identifying challenges as opportunities to learn and maximize my own potential and marketability. I see success, not as a distant goal, but a daily commitment to improve the quality of life; for those with whom I interact one-on-one while determinately working toward aspirations to better the world for generations to come. As such, I’ve long since cultivated a love for people and instinctively seek any opportunity to learn from, about,  and with each person I meet.

My core philosophies

1. Technique is key but a means not an end. 
2. Speaking and singing are one in the same.
3. Great theatre is rarely comfortable yet always safe. 
4. Authenticity is born of the breath.
