"Alaina Wis is a marvelous Elle. She looks the part, can sing and dance like a Broadway star, and has great chemistry with everyone on that stage."

a singer from day one
Alaina Wis is a trained professional vocalist and recording artist. Alaina's first love was music, growing up in a household of musicians. She learned to read music from age five and has always been an accomplished musician, participating in the Illinois Music Educators Association All-State Vocal Jazz Ensemble in high school, and graduating at the top of her class with a BFA in Musical Theatre from The University of the Arts. She has performed internationally as a vocalist at Hong Kong Disneyland and at regional equity theaters in the US, and spent years gigging as a professional Christmas Caroler, singing in close harmony. Alaina Was featured in Eric Whitacre's special holiday edition of Disneyland's World of Color, where he premiered his piece, "Glow." She sings any vocal part from alto to soprano I.
Now she marries her passion for singing with her skills in the booth, having worked as a session singer for Disney, the acclaimed Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Bard's College video game expansion, children's animation, radio jingles, demo tracks for composers, and more. She also writes her own music, and loves having fun coming up with creative harmonies and chord progressions. She's well-versed as a vocalist in the musical theatre, pop, country, rock, jazz, and indie folk genres.

what is the process like?
Alaina is a precise and thoughtful musician whose attention to detail is second to none. Here's how she typically works:
​
-
You send your project proposal (here!)
-
Alaina reviews the proposal, asks any clarifying questions, and starts learning the music. She can learn by ear (fastest), by reading sheet music, or a combination of both.
-
By request, Alaina can send a short sample of your song to confirm she's on track for your project's vision.
-
Alaina records the vocals over your music and sends you the stems (typically within 1-3 business days, depending on workload)
-
With your feedback, Alaina applies any needed revisions.
-
Your creative project comes to life!
