Spotlight on Veenwar Almezory

Veenwar is one of the funniest, magnetic, kind people I have ever worked with. He is a quiet learner when he is out of his comfort zone but reacts with laughter when he finds something new or realizes he’s not working so hard at singing. You’d never know - but Veenwar was born cross-eyed, so any kind of eye drill was a major threat that we gently overcame and it has exponentially improved his posture, range and tone. Watching him open up as an educator in my studio has been kind of like a Marx brothers skit. His essence transcends time and he can get very critical of himself but the payoff when his spark overcomes that is incredibly captivating. He has been game for ANYTHING in our studio scenes and concerts including Igor from Young Frankenstein and J.M. Barry in Finding Neverland. He has played a gazillion roles all around youth theaters and pre-professional companies in San Diego (with multiple NYA award wins and nominations in the same year), and will steal your heart in the audition room and the studio.
