Deneen Frazier

Becoming an actress is a dream that took hold on Ms. Frazier's sixteenth birthday, when her parents gave her two tickets to see the Broadway show, Dreamgirls. Ms. Frazier remembers being mesmerized by Jennifer Holliday's performance on stage and realizing what she wanted to do with her life... the only problem was she was a short, white girl who couldn't sing.

The road to being a professional actress was not a direct one as it took Ms. Frazier a decade to fully commit herself to being a professional actress. During that time, she forged a career in education, working with schools and teachers to better leverage new technologies as learning tools.

Now an experienced and versatile actress, Ms. Frazier earned a 2003 B. Iden Payne award nomination for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama" for her portrayal of Annie Lou Holsom in Waiting for MacArthur. Other premiere stage roles include Darcy Snelgrave in the intense and erotic, One Flea Spare; the title role of a dog in Sylvia; and, Sissy in the West Texas Classic, Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Currently, she is collaborating on a new one-woman show, Head Over Heels.

On film, Ms. Frazier can be seen in several independent features: an undercover cop in the independent feature "Manhood is Dead" and a corporate go-getter in the film "Severance." Her work in short films includes the enthusiastically narcissistic newscaster in "The Last Race" and the confident woman in "Love in 3 Minutes."

In addition to dramatic acting, Ms. Frazier is also well versed in industrial films, commercials and voiceovers. She studies Alexander Technique with Sumi Komo and has worked with a wide variety of teachers.

In her free time, Ms. Frazier loves to snowboard or backpack in the mountains with her husband.
