Why Hello There!
Here’s a little bit about me!
Hi there! My name is Katelyn Harold and I am a performer based in New York. Born and raised on Long Island, I am an alumni of LIHSA and the American Theater Dance Workshop in Mineola, NY. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Marymount Manhattan College, and I am so honored to be the first person in my family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Growing up, I’ve always seemed a bit “theatrical.” At four years old, I was belting out Cher’s Greatest Hits in my mom’s car (The Wiggles weren’t good enough). In kindergarten, my teacher staged High School Musical 2 and (without an official audition I’ll add) offered me the role of “Sharpay Evans,” where I donned a blonde wig just as big as I was! School pick-up was filled with every classic rock tune I learned to appreciate thanks to my dad (a guitarist); songs which would eventually inform my pop/rock voice. From a young age, I found my passion through music and theatre, and couldn’t wait to share it with the world!
Recently, I made my Regional Debut in Jersey Boys as Francine & Others/Assistant Dance Captain, portrayed Leilani/Cat Lady/Ensemble in Legally Blonde, and the Female Swing in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory all at The John W. Engeman Theater! I signed with FireStarter Entertainment Talent Agency for Theater/Commercial/Print, and I’m ready to take my career to the next level with my fantastic team.
This July I’ll be hittin’ the books as I study to become a Certified Voice Teacher through New York Vocal Coaching, offering 1 on 1 Zoom Lessons in Private Voice, Song + Scene Study, Headshot Insurance, Actor Branding, Web Building, Resume Building, and MORE!
Additionally, I am a Certified Freelance Makeup Artist specializing in Headshot Makeup + Hair, Male Grooming, and Special Events. I service all of NYC and Long Island!
When I’m offstage, you’ll probably catch me devouring my mom’s Eggplant Parm with family and friends, or watching The Sopranos! No matter where I go, I aim to brighten every room with my passion, positivity, and zest for life.
