Lyric coloratura soprano and Los Angeles native Megan Shoaf refuses to be defined by any one genre. After spending the first several years of her performance career as a belter singing roles such as Penny Pingleton in Hairspray, Sheila Franklin in Hair, Roxie Hart in Chicago, and Vivienne Kensington in Legally Blonde, Megan went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in classical voice performance from CSU Northridge in 2023 where she studied under Diane Ketchie. As an operatic soprano, she has performed major roles including The Queen of the Night in Mozart’s The Magic Flute as well as Eurydice in Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld. She is also a regular cast member in Guild Opera Company’s elementary school outreach productions of Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood, and performs with local groups such as Pacific Opera Project, The Conejo Players, The Other Reindeer Carolers and Source/Filter Music Collective.
After going viral on TikTok for singing Der Hölle Rache, the famous Queen of the Night aria, Megan has steadily built up a following and now boasts more than 230,000 followers and over 150 million total views across all platforms, a testament to her widespread appeal as an entertainer. She is primarily active on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram reels.
Megan is a passionate teacher who heavily invests in her students, and tailors her approach to each student’s individual needs. She specializes in both musical theatre and classical styles, and is comfortable working with pop, country, folk, rock, and many other genres. She seeks to provide all of her students with a wide range of tools they can pull from, and places a heavy emphasis on helping each singer develop a reliable mental map of their voice and body using physical sensation and check in points to demystify the process of singing. In addition to vocal technique, Megan also enjoys audition coaching and character work for her musical theatre students, and additionally offers intro piano lessons for beginners.
