Bio:
An experienced talent in a variety of media, Alecias attention to detail and passion for learning communicate a genuine, vibrant and distinctive performance every time.
In film and TV, Alecia began her career in the award-nominated feature film Where the Heart Is, starring Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd. She was cast as the Scuba Bride in 27 Dresses, starring Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy, Knocked Up) and James Marsden (X-Men). She was also featured as a Legal Aide in the Warner Bros. TV episodic Waterfront, directed by Richard J. Lewis (CSI, The Chris Isaak Show), and she portrayed a story-hungry TV news reporter in experimental sci-fi indie feature Circuit, which is scheduled for release in 2008. Alecia can be seen as vindictive friend Ellen in Time Heals All Wounds, an insolent operator in the comic Eyestar series (produced by award-winning director Kevin Anderton), and the clueless-yet-loveable Jenn Randall in TV sitcom pilot The Six Fifty-Seven. Her commercial credits include: Hood, Novell, Krispy Kreme, the Maine Lottery and the Vermont Lottery.
For her voice, Alecia was selected as the first and only National Female Voice for dot-com-phenom Collegestudent.com. Every college-aged student in the nation heard about their "local, online campus community" thanks to Alecia. Known for her energized and quirky, college-cool delivery, as well as various languages and accents, Alecia has also worked with major corporations like Time Warner Cable and Reebok, and her voice has been heard in commercials airing on MTV and VH1.
With roots as a shoe model, having worked with companies like Modellista and White Mountain Shoes, Alecia ventured into the world of print out of curiosity and has since worked with clients such as Hewlett-Packard and Clarks of England. Most recently she modeled shoes in shows for White Mountain Shoes and Rialto.
Musically, Alecia graduated from the playroom to the stage by age five, singing in her first oratorio as Head Angel. After that, musicals, chamber ensembles, recitals and operas abounded. She studied voice at UT-Austin and New England Conservatory of Music with internationally-acclaimed soprano Darlene Wiley and teaching powerhouse Helen Hodam. Recently, in recital, Alecia presented the Boston and New England premiere of The Poetry of Donald Rumsfeld by composer Bryant Kong. Weekly, Alecia can be heard as a soprano soloist with the Sanctuary Choir at Old South Church in Boston, Massachusetts, one of the most critically influential churches in United States history. She also performs with various chamber ensembles.
