Tiffany Underwood Holmes
originally hails from Clarksville, Maryland. She has music directed
prolifically throughout the Baltimore/Washington Metropolitan area over
the past several years upon completing studies in music with a
concentration in voice at Towson University. Recent credits include A
Chorus Line, The Who's TOMMY, Carmen Jones, Tim Rice
& Elton John's Aida, Disney's High School Musical, Smoky
Joe's Cafe and many others. Equally as comfortable onstage, favorite
performances include Hair (Dionne), Beehive (Patti
Labelle/Aretha Franklin/others), and The Magic Flute (Second
Lady). She made her Meyerhoff Symphony Hall debut with the Towson
University Chorale alongside Robert Goulet and Shirley Jones in 2004.
Ms. Holmes currently resides outside of Baltimore and is proud to be the
music director for Teaching Young Actors—DLC’s teen professional
company.
Having studied musical theatre, classical, and jazz with performers at
the top of their fields, Tiffany is equally comfortable teaching
classical voice, musical theatre, and other commercial styles. However,
coming from the belief that singers on the operatic stage use the same
technique as those with careers in theatre, she approaches her training
from a classical standpoint. She instills solid vocal technique in her
students through varied repertoire with the objective of preparing them
to become well-rounded performers.
