Kiana Holmes
Private Voice Instructor
Kiana (she/her) is a multi-hyphenate theatre artist who is passionate about using the performing arts to help people feel seen so that they can embrace their power. She loves performing, directing, stage managing, and producing theatre. When she’s not working on theatre, she’s a Breckenridge ski instructor and also enjoys craft projects, sea turtle facts, and eating ice cream. She graduated from Muhlenberg College with a BA in theatre. As a vocal coach, she believes that there is no such thing as a "bad" voice and that everyone has the ability to sing beautifully. Her personal vocal journey makes her excited to work with students who haven’t discovered their full confidence in their singing voices yet, but are excited to learn more about technique and artistry. Kiana’s background is specifically in musical theatre and pop music, and in lessons she emphasizes celebrating the unique things our voice can do to tell a story and connect to our most authentic self through music.
