ABOUT ALANA
Alana Loewe Weiss has been a voice and performance coach for nearly two decades. She takes great pride in creating a safe space to help her students produce dramatic vocal improvements, a performance style of their own, and an increased confidence auditioning and performing in front of an audience.
Alana received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she majored in Dramatic Art with an emphasis in Directing. While at UCSB, Alana became a founding member of their award winning pop/rock a cappella group, Naked Voices. After graduating, she began studying and teaching at the Vocal Power Academy in Los Angeles before establishing Alana Voice Studio in 2008. Alana is a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and has been certified as a nationally recognized enrichment teacher by the National Enrichment Teachers Association (NETA).
Alana has been teaching voice and performance at Calabasas High School since 2004. She has vocal directed seven of the school’s Main Stage musicals and has been the co-director of the school’s award winning pop/rock A Cappella Program since its inception in 2001. Under her direction, the A Cappella Program has been two time featured performers at Carnegie Hall, three-time champions of the Los Angeles A Cappella Festival, and were finalists at the International Championship of High School A Cappella. The ensembles have performed nationwide, released two full-length albums and multiple EPs (available on all major music platforms), and been featured seven times in Varsity Vocals’ Best of High School A Cappella anthology.
Beyond the classroom, Alana is a frequent judge at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (the competition made famous by the Pitch Perfect franchise), a masterclass clinician, and a recognized presence in the contemporary a cappella community. In addition to her work as a coach and director, Alana dedicates herself and her time to her husband, Adam, and her daughters, Taylor and Charley.
