ZOË VELLING
Actor - Singer - Teacher - Learner

About Me
Zoë Velling is an EMC professional, service-minded actor based out of Southwestern Virginia.
Since beginning voice lessons in elementary school, Zoë has felt the power of selfless art. She has found that performing is the best way for her to give back to the community (& world) that have given her so much. A lifelong learner, she is deeply rooted in growing from & through all experiences.
In May of 2017, Zoë graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance with a concentration in Music Theatre.
Immediately following graduation, Zoë began a program with The Barter Players in Abingdon, VA through The Barter Theatre- the State Theatre of Virginia! It is a heightened internship program designed to shape members into the best, most honest service-minded artists we can be.
Aside from theatre, Zoë is passionate about international travel, poetry, reading, healthy living, family, and the oxford comma.
Lovely to meet ya!
