LARA KORBA

     I live in Los Angeles, quite a long way from Upstate New York, where I grew up. I’m the youngest of three and was raised by my widowed dad, so from a young age I found comfort in Disney movies, where the majority of protagonists are also missing a mom (...odd). This ignited my love for musical theatre, and I began to act out musicals and write skits with my friends during recess, jumping at the chance to audiion for children’s theatres as soon as I was old enough.

​

     When I wasn’t in rehearsal for the next musical, I would spend hours watching my older brother play video games on his PlayStation. He never let me play, but I was content to watch the stories unfold. When my brother moved away, he left behind his PlayStation, and I got to experience playing the sequels to the games I’d grown up watching.

​

     For college, I attended Viterbo University, where I earned a BFA in Musical Theatre. While I grew as an actor and singer, I began to feel stifled by the parameters placed on performers' physical appearance in the theatre world. After some soul searching, and thinking back to what had excited me as a kid, I realized that voice acting was exactly what I’d been looking for, and as soon as I graduated, I left behind my dreams of the stage, and refocused exclusively on voiceover.

​

     I’ve since relocated to Los Angeles, and have learned from dozens of industry professionals. I’ve worked on video games, commercials, audio dramas, and I can’t wait to do more!
