Welcome!

A New York City based Voiceover, Commercial, Stage, TV/Film Actor, Theatre Educator, Singer, and Activist born in Detroit, Shannon Van Esley landed in NYC at 17 to train at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and The New School. She's performed professionally on stage (Yates Musical Theatre, American Family Theatre, Celtic Theatre Company), camera (American Prophet, The Perfect Murder, Brain Games) in the recording booth (​Google, Fisher Price, Brother Ink) and has most recently collaborated with 13th Street Repertory Company. Shannon has instructed at Motor City Youth Theatre, Paper Mill Playhouse Classes for Kids, and Creative Arts Workshop.

She is a strong believer that people should frequent diners and buy from newsstands. "If we don't use them, we will lose them!"
