Savannah Frazier is a native Tennesseean, hailing from Nashville, which is known for much more than country music and the ever-questioned “do you wear shoes there?” The answer, by the way, is mostly. Both parents are writers and artists, so the arts have been a crucial part of her life from the get-go. Savannah was heavily involved in the drama and music department throughout high school, as well as the Nashville Children’s Theatre and Nashville Shakespeare Festival. In addition to her theatrical pursuits, she played violin and sang in her band, Lace and Ash, with one of her best friends, playing gigs in and around Nashville for several years (www.myspace.com/wefadetolaceandash). She went on to spend her first year of college in Oklahoma at OU in the Opera Voice Performance program, but realized something was missing. There was a desire for a more acting based education, in combination with her love of opera and musical theatre. Having just heard about AMDA New York’s scholarship audition in Dallas, she drove there at 4 a.m. and auditioned on a whim. It was the best decision she could have made. Now residing in New York City as an actor/singer/unfortunate violin player, when not at an audition, in rehearsal, sweet music makin' with her current band, Shirtwaist Sisters, or nannying (the oh so luxurious survival job), she loves to do yoga, anything involving nature, travel, read, make crude Christmas raps with her little brother (much to the dismay of her father) and spend time with her family and friends, to whom she owes everything. Oh, and look at pictures of baby animals.
